Softies for Mirabel

I know you probably don't know if you're Arthur or Martha when you swing by this blog...one day it's retro interiors, the next treasures I've found in the oppies, and today, inspired by the Pipstars post (here), I've got my craft-thing on.

(actually the Pipstar not only inspired my rare foray into the world of making, she also set me up with instructions. That's how she rolls you know, she's an all round good egg)

Meet Owly, my contribution to 2012's Softies for Mirabel toy drive...

he's rather cute isn't he...

(thankfully for me, with softies like these, the more wonk the better!)

My Owly is based on these sweet owlies designed by Heidi Iverson.

Pippa said they'd be a nice place for a wonky stitcher like me to start, and she was right. Tres facile! (and you know if I say that, it's the honest to God's truth!)

Pippa also said "everyone needs an owl friend" I hope so.


he'd wink, if he could.


If you'd like to make a softie for the Mirabel kids too, go for it! Click the link up top, or this one for more info.
