I will be going to visit Little Lady and Little Guy in a few weeks. Of course, what proper Gammy would go calling empty handed? So, I've been already thinking about what I'd like to make for them. I want something small and light weight that will fit nicely in the small travel bag I use for train travel. Then, I thought of my owl.
I designed this little guy years ago before we started Wee Folk Art. It was an evening lark, and I don't even have a proper pattern. For years I've thought about sharing him/her here on Wee Folk Art, but just never got around to it. Well… since I want to make more, I'll be sharing the pattern soon. I plan to make 2 or 3 sizes. I want to make a couple (one for each hand) out of the large pegs for Little Guy. And I'll probably make a Mommy, Daddy, Little Lady and Little Guy owl family for LL.
Hopefully, I'll have the patterns done in the next week or two, so… if your gnomes need some feathered friends… watch for them : )
This is adorable! Thank you so much for always taking the time to re-create the patterns for us. I have given my grandchildren several of your inspirations and they love them!
I love sharing my designs and seeing other people create toys from them 🙂 Hope you enjoy making the owls… as soon as I get the pattern up!
I’ve been looking on etsy for felt and there are so many offerings! Can you tell me if your felt is wool or wool blend? And what thickness is it?
I am an owl-aholic. I MUST make these.
And I also have you nominated for a blog award at my place.
