Thinking of what to create with this Red Love fabric

This fabric caught my eye quite a few years ago when I was shopping with my Auntie.  It is just so sweet, I just haven't decided what I want to make with it.  I could fussy cut and make a cute Valentine's Day wall-hanging, put some of it in hoops (you know the crafty hoop craze that's going on), or there's always an owl.

What do do with this lovely fabric?
Or maybe I'll just come up with some new idea.  I really just want to make something with it THIS YEAR!  Ooo maybe a bunting!

Valentine Owls

I'll owl-ways be yours, say you'll owl-ways be mine... so many fun Owlentine puns.  What's your favorite?
Hoot hoot!
My goal was to get 5 Valentine owls in my shop  by January 2nd, and I almost did it.  I tried to get away from the classic pink and red thing I usually do for Valentine's Day.  This guy is my favorite.  I have a few others in my shop right now, and I'm going to try to sew up a few more - if I have time!

Artful Rustic Owls by Teri

I was doing some Etsy shopping, and I came across this shop, terraworks'.   I was drawn to the artistry and whimsy of Teri's handbuilt clay art.  And then I bumped into two artful owls, and thought they would fit in perfectly on my Etsy tree.

These bird sculptures are one of a kind pieces of art.  And I just love that awesome espresso cup.  I'm sure just drinking out of it will give you creative powers! Her work is so unique and creative stop by terraworks and take a peek.

Mushroom House Ornament by iktomi

I just could not resist this mushroom house ornament.  I have had pieces of work by iktomi in my list of favorites for a long time.  Her hedgehogs are front page famous, and oh so adorable.  And now I own my own little piece of art from iktomi's world for my Etsy tree.

Pipodoll Owls for my Etsy Tree

I love owls, and I knew if I wanted to I could fill my Etsy tree with a collection of handmade owl ornaments. So, I made a conscience decision to go beyond the owls of Etsy.  But then, I came across Pipodoll's shop and  I fell in love with her owl ornaments.  So as my collection stands, I have three owls, and one pink angel.

Angel In Pink by Flor for my Tree

It's one thing to see art on your computer screen, but it's a totally different experience getting to open up a package with a unique one of a kind piece with your name on it.  I ordered a pink angel for my Etsy tree from Flor Larios.  I love the colors and the energy you see in Flor's work.    I always enjoy stopping by her shop and admiring her art.  I  fell in love with her Madonnas but when I saw the pink angel ornament, my Etsy ornament collection grew.

Trimming My Etsy Tree

This year I started collecting unique handmade ornaments from various artists on Etsy.  This owl ornament by Misspottery is the first one that arrived.  I love it!  There is so much texture and spunk in this little guy.  Misspottery's shop houses wonderful pieces of art that incorporate texture, color, playfulness, and functionality.

Her shipping was super quick, so if you're still looking for a special handmade Holiday gift, you have time.  She offers a variety of pieces: jewelry, dishes, teapots, plates, ornaments. . .
