Now, lots of owls.

It never ceases to amaze me that I cut these all out using the same template and yet, when I stuff them up, it is always a surprise to see how they come out! Tall, short, chubby, slim.

2 more snowies.

One from today and one from yesterday, sitting in the chair.

Well first, Happy Mother’s Day to all who are celebrating! And now some snowy owls or maybe I should call them owls with no ears…

Both of these owls are incredibly soft, made with cashmere, angora, and alpaca, and I am sure some wool too.

This one has eye brows.

And this one isn’t terribly snowy at all!

Here are his/her grey and white striped wings-

Three owl-y friends, hanging out on the porch. Hurray for Spring!

See, more paisley!

I love a great paisley, especially a knit paisley on an owl! (spoiler alert- I have more owl paisley coming…)

The owl is sitting among the tulips which are just finishing up. Those tulips- it has to be 20 years since I planted them and they still thrive. Amazing.

Here are the first two.

I like working on these brown owls. All the fabrics I’m using have memories.

I love this owl face with it’s shaggy alpaca mask.

Alpaca sweater body and face, cashmere wings= super soft owl!

There are 2 more owls to post about- that’ll be tomorrow. Here they all are, friends on a chair.

2 more-

Here they are, waiting patiently to get their photos taken. Owls in a basket!

In my Mom’s later sewing years, the 1980’s and 90’s, she used a lot of beige and brown. When I make the brown owls, many of the fabrics are from her scraps and/or stash. I love thinking about the beautiful clothes she’d made from them.

Pretty much everything on this one is directly from Mom’s attic.

This one is a mix of newer and older- wovens from Mom, knit (wings and cap) is a reclaimed sweater.
