An ornament is made!


I have been wanting to make some ornaments while I am recuperating from my surgery but I could not find anything to make anywhere.
I wanted to start making them for my kids but I wanted unique items for them, easy and not stressful for me.
Eileen
posted this wonderful tutorial for her owl ornaments and I knew I had to make them.
she was so kind to help me with the pattern. My father in law who was visiting from Ohio had just brought me bells from my mother in laws sewing room so I had everything I needed to make these.
This is my first one and I can see my flaws , like I need to work on that satin stitch nose, but I like it.
I am going to cut out some more so I can have plenty for my kids.
I want to make unique ornaments for them.
Thank you so much Eileen
