A new friend and a thank you

I wasn't going to publish her but she was too cute not to share all y'all.

I was sitting here the other day, pleased as punch that all my Christmas crafting was completed. Then it hit me - a most wonderful idea of something that just was screaming to be made… so I did what any crafter does, I shopped my stash and sat down to work.

Four hours, three colors, two buttons and one idea… the end result was Owlivia, the Christmas Owl. There are plans for an entire parliament now but I will always remember that it all started with the sweetest one of all.  I am giving her to y'all as a Christmas 'thank you' this year.  It's available as a free download on Ravelry. 

We have had a lot of new friends join us over the past few months and that can only be due to you.  I don't market my blog because I am still amazed when others pop over to join me.  I have no delusions of grandeur when it comes to my tiny space in the internet - but I do love having company and I get such a giggle when y'all bring friends.  So thank you, so very much, for coming to spend a bit of time me.

This pattern is untested, though I have worked it several times. If you notice an error or have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be happy to help you work through it, step by step. When I first started my journey into crochet, I had the help of some lovely strangers so I make it a point to pay it forward to any new crafter I meet.

Merry Christmas, poppets... and thank you... for everything.
