"Hoot! Hoot!" Owl Mobile

This is a mobile I recently finished for one of my besties!  She just had a baby boy!
I'm so happy with the way this turned out.
I used vintage fabric for the bodies & vintage flower buttons for the eyes.  The wings, bellies, eye balls & beaks are made of felt.  I sewed little bells into the wings so they make noise when jiggled around.
For the halo, I used a plastic embroidery ring & blanket stitched this strip of felt around it that I had already detailed.  I hope baby will like it!

Crocheted Patchwork Blanket

This is a blanket I crocheted for my cousin's son.  It's made of hand-dyed alpaca.  I started by crocheting all the little blue & green squares then I attached them using a chain stitch.  Finally I made rows repeating the pattern dc, ch of the brown/grey color.
I love the way this turned out & the alpaca is so soft & warm.
