How could this have taken me so long?Woodland animals and acorns are my two best crafting passions, so it really is amazing that I haven't whipped these little babies up sooner. I found a nice little owl border among the embossing plates while investigating a friend's cuttlebug last week, and was inspired to make Reuben's pending 2nd birthday celebration owl-themed ("Whoo? Whoo is turning 2? Our little Wilde Reu, that's whoo!" See? Irresistible!). Last year, I offered handsewing of hippos for a craft, and it was, ahem, a bit beyond the scope, so I wanted something easy. Bowls of shiny acorns and snippets of wool felt all ready for the gluing will fit this autumn's bill.
They're terrible choking hazards for 2 year olds, but their parents and older siblings are still the ones who like a party. Supervised, Reuben is actually rather mad for these sweeties (unsupervised, he pulls all the parts off).

My felty owl is all done and totally awesome.
:) Thanks!
I am hopelessly impaired in the craft area (to the disappointment of my daughters), but these are so adorable I might just have to give them a try.
