Crochet Owls

I've been spending a lot of time playing around with crocheting little owls :)

I still don't know how to follow a pattern... but I'm OK with that, because then everything I make tends to have it's own personality!

I started out making the owls by sewing on fabric wings and eyes and beaks.

Now I've begun just crocheting all the little bits and pieces to them :)

I make them in all shapes and sizes :) Since I don't follow a pattern I make up the size of the owls in relation to other random objects.

Extra Small = A quarter
Small = A cupcake
Medium = A large Cup-O-Joe
Large = A loaf of bread

Valentines day is rapidly approaching so I decided it was time to put craft some loving around the house! As you can see we love movies... a little bit too much... and I've been pining over all the cute word art on Pinterest lately. So I took two of my favorite romantic movies/books (The Princess Bride - Pride & Prejudice) and made word art out of the quotes that make my heart flutter every time Westley and Mr. Darcy utter them <3

I downloaded some pretty fonts from dafont.com, printed and framed them!

It's super easy and super adorable :)

I've been oogling at all the cute garlands on Pinterest so when I ran across Cornflower Blue's adorable blog I made some tiny crochet hearts for my very own!
