I am trying to finish up a few more items before the show on Sunday.

3 snowy owls
I got my friend to pose for me. She liked this one best-
I am partial to this one-
owl sightings!
I’ve been getting some wonderful reports of new owls!
Peglee of Jeanlee dolls sent me some photos-
Martha at Quiltcontemplation–
Thanks for sending the photos-they are wonderful! I’d love to see anything you’ve made from my patterns and I am going to start posting them here on the blog. Thanks!
Night Friend Owl Pattern!
Hurray! It is now available in the shop!
I am busy listing all the owls and will hopefully be done by the end of the afternoon today.
Thanks for all your help with the names. I had so much fun reading all the suggestions. I don’t want something too specific or gendered since I think that can ruin the fun for whoever makes or gets the owl in the end. I think this is a nice compromise.
and the last one for now.
It was fun to spend yesterday actually sewing. I have been spending too much time at the computer, working on the pattern, editing photos, all the rest of that biz stuff. I am hoping all the editing will be done by tomorrow. I want to get on to some new things!
And even more!
Owls that is.
Blue-gray owl-
And an Orange and brown owl-
And this is the other star of the pattern- the snowy owl-
I have one more that I am finishing up right now. When I was cleaning up my table in anticipation of having company, I found another owl body, already sewn up. I figured I might as well finish it!
I am hoping to have to edits done and the pattern ready for sale by mid-week. I will list all of these birdies on Etsy on the same day.
more owls
things are moving forward!
On the cleaning up of the workspace-
Hello Floor! I haven’t seen you in a LONG time! I needed to get the clean-up done to make room for other people in the studio.
Kerry came over to help me with the pattern and she took some amazing photos.
The pattern is now basically done. I printed out the second draft before dinner tonight and then spent an hour or so after dinner trying to figure out how to make a small enough pdf to email to my proofreader/testers. I DID IT! Honestly, I was so amazed at my success, I felt like running outside and yelling! I will spend the next few days posting all the owls, starting now. Here is the star of my pattern-
Tomorrow I am starting with a new intern. It was suppose to be today, but another Nor’easter came through and gifted us with another 12+ inches of snow, so we declared a snowday. Ah well, I needed to finish the pattern anyway.
today’s desk
the owls are piling up as I work on the pattern.
And, we got another 8 inches of snow this morning. I’m glad I don’t need to commute anywhere.
btw- I am trying to figure out a good name for my owl pattern- all suggestions will be considered! And, if I use your idea in any way, I will send you a free pattern when it is done.
working on
the owl pattern and getting the studio picked up. Both are going slowly.
There are blizzard warnings in the neighborhood so this months’ Crafty Biz meet-up is postponed until next Wednesday (1/19). Email me if you want details.
*blog heads-up* I am going to have a Martin Luther King Day sale- I will be marking down some of the things in my Etsy shop that have been there too long. I have some older pieces that I’d like to sell also and will either put them here in the blog or list them on Etsy. The sale will start on Thursday morning and run through the long week-end.
And, I’m heading back up to Portland (ME) next weekend to deliver P back to school and eat some excellent food. I’m always open to suggestions!
