Owl

So ive decided to try to create a stuffed owl crochet pattern and this is how my first attempt turned out.
I don't think its THAT bad, but im not in love with it... Kinda reminds me of a Furby. Does anyone have any suggestions to make it look better?

Its been kinda hard crocheting lately, because of Meeko. I have to lock him in the bedroom if i want to crochet otherwise he will constantly attack my yarn. He's so naughty I gave him a middle name, It's Meeko Merlotte. Named after Sam Merlotte from HBO's True Blood. Im glad I have him. Meeko and Bella keep me entertained, and I love them :-)

Busy Busy Busy

I have been soo busy the last few months! I Had to take care of my Nana who had major back surgery in May. Then in June my boyfriend of almost 3 years decided to break up with me, so I've been pretty stressed about paying bills and such since I decided to keep the apartment that we lived in together. He moved in with a friend. Fortunately I finally found a friend to move in with me to help with rent.

Last week, I Adopted a kitten :-) He is so cute and spunky AND he gets along great with my dog Bella. I decided to name him Meeko after the Raccoon from the Disney movie Pocahontas. He's also helped me with my break-up, getting over him.

Ive also been pretty busy with crocheting projects too. Im currently working on a granny square afghan to use up all my scrap balls of yarn. I also have created a pattern for some cute carrot appliques and some cute catnip carrots and strawberries. I also found a cute whale and crab pattern I was thinking of making a bunch with catnip/squeakers and trying to sell them at work (a pet boarding facility) I save all the little bits of yarn from other projects and use them all stuffing for projects that need stuffing. As for the Zebra print scarf, its been put on hold for the time being.
