Outback Craftaholic: Creature Comfort

Creature Comfort

My niece recently moved to boarding school and has been feeling a bit homesick so I decided to make her a little friend to keep her company when she is missing home. She loves owls and I had recently found a pattern called 'Who Knew!' by Susie C Shore Designs at Carols of Midland which I thought would be perfect.

I raided my boxes of fabric that I have been collecting since my kids were little and found some lovely bright colours. This was the result...

My niece loved her new friend and I was very happy with how it turned out too. We have decided the next time she comes to visit for the weekend this would be a great project to do together. Luckily I have plenty of fabric stashed away for just such an occasion!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Tracy

About Me

I am a happily married mum of 3 (2 teens & a toddler - yes, to the same man) with a passion for most things crafty. My current favourite crafts are embroidery, quilting & making soft toys.

I thrive on learning from others and love to share what I know. Most of all though, I love the ability of craft to bring people together.

My other love is the Pilbara. The occasional, treasured visits always soothe my soul & reconnect me to nature. If you haven’t been I recommend you visit one day (winter is the best time of year).
