"Give a Hoot" Owl Pillow...

I mentioned yesterday I am trying to pare down Christmas this year, then we are going to celebrate Christmas more fully in June when we meet together for a family reunion at the beach. Getting a "little something" for everyone is still a bit of an undertaking, however, because we currently have 12 kids/kids-in-law and 12 grandchildren. {That number is always in flux!} Trying to come up with 24 "little" presents is proving to be a challenge! ;o)

The other day I fell back on a pattern I created some time ago. Little Taitum {our youngest grandchild -- just a month and a half old} needed a little something to open, so I made her a "Give a Hoot" Owl Pillow...

As you know, I often name the "Give a Hoot" Pillows I make. The name "Mattie" came to mind when I created this feminine version.

Taitum is a little young to have a pillow in her crib, but when she gets older I hope Mattie will comfort her and remind her that her grandparents love her!

{Now I'm going back to my less-than-glamorous life -- time to mop the kitchen floor.}
