New owls

Cor blimey, that's nearly another week gone by, I don't know where the time goes!
I've been trying to build up some stock for the Homespun Fair - I thought I'd make some new improved 'Owl In The Moon' mobiles...

I'd made a few and decided that they all looked rather nice together...

(Sorry the photographs are a bit fuzzy - it's been dark here all day today!)
I think I must have been somewhat influenced by Dots and Spots lovely new poster - and this is my version...

Designed to either hang on the wall or from the ceiling and filled with lavender to aid sleep!

And as a final little touch I added some text - can you read it?
I thought it would make a lovely gift for a new born baby, what do you think?

    Beautiful, as always. Love the fabrics you've used and the details on the middle two.

    Stop making me clucky Kirsty! Although I quite fancy this for me. I think a parliament of owls is just what I need to aid my sleep. Love your stuff, I'd fill the house to the brim with it if I could. And thanks for your lovely words of encouragement this week. Laura x

    Oh Kirsty, the phrase on the bottom made me go all teary eyed !! I don't think it is just the hormones... ;-)
    Your owls are delightful and different from the seaside theme. Though of course, you could now start working on 'the owl and pussycat' in their pea green boat - wouldn't that be fab?
    I'm hoping SO MUCH to come along to the Homespun fair...
    Happy days,

    They are gorgeous - in competition for the lovely robins (only have one left!) I've always loved your earlier owl too - just had another peak - can't decide which I prefer! Thank you very much for the mention - no problem - I like to share what I see! Working on owl poster number 3 currently then it's off to the printers!

    You are just so clever and the fabrics you use are so utterly spot on. Everytime I see you work I come away so inspired.

    Hello there - I just hopped over here from Dottycookie. Goodness, your work is so lovely - just up my street. Those fabric fish in the last post are especially marvellous. Do you have an online shop? I'm off to prowl around and find out.

    BTW if you hop over to my place the commenty wotsit is broken at the moment so sorry if I don't answer.

    Thanks for your kind comments and your wishes for the weekend on my blog. I adore these owls, and all the summery seaside colours. We are having a good weekend with a big plant festival in our town - it's triggered loads of gardening!

    I just had to pop over and see your owls...your 'parliament' of owls are wonderful.

    How lucky you are to live by the sea. What lovely treasures you must find for your art.

    Lovely to visit another textile blog! Will definately be popping back again for a peek.
