I'll be giving this owl away to one lucky winner! Mr. Owl was designed and handmade by me with brown wool tweed suiting material (for the body) and 100% wool felt (for the face, wings and feet).
Simply comment on this post anytime before Friday, December 16 at 5 pm PST. In your comment, please share your favorite holiday tradition, or not... it's up to you. Please be sure that I have a way to contact you if you are the winner!! If your email is not connected to your blogger profile, please include it in your comment. I will use Random.org to chose the recipient of Mr. Owl, then I'll announce the winner the next day. I am happy to ship domestically or internationally.
My favorite holiday tradition is unwrapping the ornaments, and then watching my kids decorate the tree -- now that they can do it themselves! And also staying in the house (in our pajamas most of the day) on Christmas day.
If you're not the winner, but would love to have an owl of your own, you can purchase a similar one in my shop. Also, be sure to check out all of the generous giveaways on Sew, Mama, Sew! and to discover some amazing new blogs to follow. Click the link below to get there.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite holiday tradition is the one we've been doing this weekend - making a huge vat of veggie mincemeat to tide us over the festive season.

Yum!

My Parents come too. People come & go all day, usally bringing more gifts for the kids! We love it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy spending the nights during the 3 christmas days puzzling with my mum we started that when I was very young because I never managed to get my adventa calendat picture puzzle done in time - it's just a bit hard to get a puzzle done without knowing what it is and getting only a handful of pieces each day...
