Owl Bunting for beginners....

This weeks project is to finish my owl bunting, I've had this little project on the go for a couple of months now and it needs to get finished!



I spent some quality TV time last night sewing eyes on these little babies. I only have a bag of missed buttons so didn't have enough of the same to do matching eyes, not sure if it makes my owls look a little crazy. Umm, not crazy, lets say full of character.

It's has been a title weird working here, am dog sitting at friends house, two little whippets called Lipp and Shadow, who will chew anything (and I mean anything and everything) not nailed down.

The little darlings have already eaten my purse, and everything in it, including credit cards , money and receipts and my beloved crochet ideas book. Luckily my favourite patterns can be reprinted, but I had snippets of wool I liked working with that have been eaten. Not sure how that is going to work - on the basis what goes must come out. Luckily they were only small samples.....

Does anyone else have to guard against pets sabotaging their craft working.

Molly is my normal crochet companion, and occasionally I come across a piece of soggy wool and find her at the other end of the ball....  And she does seem to think she she owns every piece of amigurumi I make. But that is possibly.... Possibly I say, my fault. I used to give her my crochet cast offs to play with, and in fact some of the misfit teddy bears (when I was going through my I want to make a cut teddy bear phase.....) lasted way longer than some of shop bought toys that Molly Moo can destroy in minutes.

This is Molly at Barry Island, my little baby girl.....



Anyway, my owls are under my watchful eyes and are going to get their beaks tonight......  I'll update with completed bunting when its done.
