I was browsing Amazon and came across a ton of new books I want to add to my extensive craft book library!
Ok, so the last one is more of a cookbook but look the little food is sooooo cute! That's almost a craft :)

Owl Be Seeing You!
I got a request for more owl pins in bright colors from Love & Glitter in Ellicott City, so I spent some time cutting and sewing 35 new hoot owls!
It was fun to come up with all of the color combinations. It had been a while since I made a batch of owls (partly because I tend to make 50-100 at a time) and I actually had forgotten some of the shortcuts to sewing the pieces together.
In honor of my 35 new hoot owls, here's a bad joke:
Q: What kind of books do owls like to read?
A: Whooo-dunnits!
:)
