1st Completed Project of 2012

I finished my first project yesterday. This is 1 of 3 that I have been working on. I started this owl pillow on January 2 and finished him yesterday, January 5. Not too bad. My daughter wanted this for her dorm to go along with the African flower hexagon blanket I'm working on. She named him Al the Owl. Hehe.

This was an easy project from a leaflet I found at JoAnns before Christmas. I left off the wings because that's what DD wanted. The stitches used (dc in one space followed by ss in the next stitch) created a bobbly texture. Just perfect for the owl. Also the section of fpdc added a nice effect too. I so enjoy projects that look more complicated than they actually are.

I made this as well from the same leaflet. Love that you changed the colors up and I actually like it without the wings also. Very cute!
