But, when I was visiting the new Crate & barrel store in our area one day I encountered these...
I don't know what it is, but there was something about them that spoke to me. It could be the colorful buttons, hand stitches, or the buttoned eyes... I just adore them. I was standing there for a while and kept touching them for no reason (yes my mother taught me while growing up not to touch anything in the store unless I am buying them, but I couldn't help it). Online, they are sold as a set of three for $23.95, but in the store they were sold separately, and I believe they were about $8.50 each.
In the end I just couldn't bring myself to pay so much money for an ornament and left the store.
Then a couple days ago, I remembered that I was supposed to bring an ornament for a church function for an ornament exchange. The owl popped in my head... I had to give it a try to make an owl ornament!
Please say hi to my owl...
It was so fun to come up with the combination of fabric and wool. I gave her away, but I might have to make more for my family soon. :)

I like yours better. To me the gray is drab and ornaments are supposed to be bright. Love yours.
Yours is every bit as adorable as theirs! You have been blessed with a talent, indeed.

That little owl is so cute... and I'm not really an owl kind of girl, lol. The detailing is fab!

Your own is just as cute as the store bought ones & you can personalize yours.
