Little Hooties & My Christmas Tree Decorating Helper

Last week I purchased the pattern for these little owls.  Once I got started making them, I couldn’t seem to stop!  All of these ended up on my Christmas tree, except for the one in the bottom right-hand corner.  It will probably be a tuck-in gift in somebody’s Christmas card. I’m hoping to get a few more made.  Right now I am in the beginnings of some sickness though.  Fever, sore throat, etc. I hope that whatever it is leaves me quickly.  I have too much I want to do before Christmas.  Anyhoo, I mostly went by the pattern, but I did my own thing for the owl’s beak.  I did it according to the directions first time around, then decided I wanted to do something else.  If you’d like to make some of your own little hooties, you can purchase the pattern here.

Here is a picture of Miss Adelyn, who was my Christmas tree decorating helper yesterday.  The guys were out hunting, and she hung out with Gramma Rita. :)

I was in the bathroom when she came to the door and told me she was hungry (we had already eaten lunch), so I told her she could get a pack of gummies out of the pantry.  When I came out, this is what I found.  ;)  LOL  She *did* get the gummies, as well as some cookies.  She cracks me up!

I made chili for supper, and she helped me stir the cornbread.
