...so I'm addicted to owls
I know I have a problem, I can't help it I adore making things with poor little owl. I have been working on this pincushion on and off for a week now, probably more off than on as thats the way things go around here. Or at least the way things swirl around my head. I don't know what to do with tthe pincusion there are a few rough areas but it mostly looks good and smells nice as I put a few drops of rose essential oil on the polyfil as I stuffed the pincusion. Its made from scraps of my favourite cotton linen blend, some laura Ashly blue and cream gingham, vintage lace, and vintage buttons which I thought were black but in certain light are a very dark purple.

The pincushion is ADORABLE Apryl!! It is so hard for me to price things I make, some things seem dearer than others and I keep them, then make another for sale. I'd take no less than $10 for this pincushion IMHO. Best, Ani
I just adore your owl style. It's kind of your brand now. If you have plenty of pin cushions I'd sell him on Etsy. I think how much depends on how long it took you, how much you want to charge for your creativity and how much for supplies.
I think you should donate him to the house of Von ;)

I am tempted to slip a note under that lace pocket, if it hasn't be sewn attached to the gingham...
So, how many pincushions do you have, and need?
If you list it, I bet you it will get picked up too-soon-to-let-your-jaw-drop, again.
OR, save it as a gift for a special deserving friend! But that wouldn't be a surprise gift then, would it.
Oooh... so cute! If I had made him, I couldn't part with him! However, if you can part with him, there are very eager hands right here *waving hands furiously.* :D
What a little cutie that owl is! :)
Just dropping by to tell you that I've just awarded you with... an award :D
