PIF Pay it Forward

I'd never heard of PIF before, but it's most definitely my kind of thing so when I came across the forum post on Folksy I just had to join in. I'm waiting on a lovely felt ipod case arriving so I can show it off on here.
In return I put up one of my new Little Owls for 20p, went and had a coffee and when I came back he had found a new home!!!
He's very quick to leave the nest because I only just made him while I was at work today. So, say hello and goodbye and hopefully his new owner will love him.

Little Amigurumi Owl

My eldest daughter is leaving home for university next week. She's all packed and looking for bits and bobs to make her flat her own. She'd seen some keyrings in a store somewhere and phoned to tell me that I could have made them so much better (aww, it's nice when your kids are proud of you). 

Of course she then asked for me to do just that, a wee owl, a wee bird or something. So here she is, my first 'Little Owl'.

She's only about 4cm high and dead quick to make. I already have a bunch of blind friends for her, they are just awaiting their eyes arriving from U.S.

I thought I might write up the pattern for other folk to make their own, so if anyone wants it just let me know so that I don't forget.

Flower Owls

Butterbur has some friends now, and I've just added them all to my Folksy shop.

Today's mission is to finish some rabbits and add them too.

Next week I'd like to get a fox or two made, and I'm hoping to get some photos of the fox that visits work every night.

I'm a 2am finish this Saturday so fingers crossed. He strolled right up to the window last time and looked right in. Of course it might depend who I'm on with, I can't imagine everyone will share my enthusiasm for the little orange guy who rummages through the bins and makes the magpies squawk at ear piercing volume. :)

Butterbur Owl

This is owl mark 2 and I'm now happy with the pattern. This one can be stuffed like normal instead of having to make an inner piece, he stands up just fine and his eyes are very expressive; with just a little manipulation he goes from grumpy, to worried, to happy.

Now he just needs some owly friends to keep him company before he goes to Folksy.
