I made them all the same, because I'm keeping one, giving one in an ornament exchange, and giving the last one to a friend. I didn't stuff them because, a) I liked the way they looked unstuffed, and b) I was too lazy to get up and get the stuffing.
A keepsake ornament I made for my daughter:
I traced her hand, so it's her hand size, and I embroidered her name and "2010" on the back.
Embroidery and hand sewing isn't something I typically do, so though this was enjoyable it was also a bit of a challenge, as I figured out the best needle to use, the best way to get the stitches to look nice, etc.
Adorable! I love the color choice. And I like how they look unstuffed too.
ReplyDeleteHoo Hoo wouldn't like a unstuffed owl. So Cute.
ReplyDeleteI like the hand ornament,did you think to date it. A new one every year to show her getting bigger.
Very cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute, Tammy!
ReplyDeletethose owls are simply precious!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I love owls!! Those are adorable. I bet they would go like crazy on your Etsy store!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-)
ReplyDeleteAshley, the person who designed the pattern does not allow for people to sell them.
That's a bummer, but understandable! And I think it's admirable that you respect their request!
ReplyDeleteAshley, I'm a "rule-follower" to the nth degree. LOL
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!! The owls are sooo sweet!! But I love your sweet daughter's hand most of all!!! Hmmmm... I wonder how long it would take me to make something like this. I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteHis,

The ornaments are adorable! I really like your version of the owls. My 14 year old daughter likes owls and made a few this past spring, finding the inspiration from the same place you did.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done silhouettes?
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of doing it this spring for Mother's Day gifts (framed paper ones maybe)... and then maybe doing felt versions for Christmas ornaments (like your hand ornament) next Christmas.
