I also was asked to make another fox very quickly - it was a little smaller but they were popular. It was lovely to be asked to make something for someone. Feeling better about my crochet skills now.

Baby Owl Present and another Fox
The Owls were a hit so I freehanded making this little treat for a baby present. I made the Owl with thick yarn but the little square in fine and soft yarn so it will be nice to snuggle up with.

More Owls for presents
I made some more owls from Skapa och Inreda's pattern of the owl.
This pattern is super quick to learn and now I do not need it anymore to create these.
Cute presents.
Thanks again!

Owl Baby Shower Present
I have a baby shower to attend later today and the Mummy of this lucky little baby loves owls, so I decided to make her baby one. (I bought a present for them too.)
I didn't get the V's on the tummy balanced and the black eye stitches could have been straighter but still think it looks very cute.
It was based on Skapa och Inreda's pattern but modified it to my own needs. I used Google Translate to read the blog.
I created a circle as the base to the diameter that I wanted the owl to be then worked sc up to the point where wings would be attached. I then quartered the amount of stitches in the round and used that as the chain length to start each wing. I used the same ball of yarn but just pulled out the other end and did the wings from the other end. I used variegated yarn for the owl so wanted a solid colour for the edging of the wings to make them more defined. I used the same colour to do the Vs on the tummy area to break up the colour just as Skapa och Inreda did in their pictures. Then I did another round and sc'ed in the wings where I wanted them. Then sc up to the height I wanted the head to be. I did the two white circles and made the eyes closed because I thought that looked really cute. On Skapa och Inreda they have suggestions for an open eye and a closed eye. I thought my next one might look cute winking. (Friends have a lot of babies being born at the moment - with hopefully even more coming.)
Then I stuffed it and sc the top. Sewed on the eyes and beak. I thought about doing feet but I thought they probably were not necessary.
So thank you to Skapa och Inreda and I am sharing lots of shots below so you can see how it was constructed.

Owls
I created these owls just as fun projects that I could pick up and do a few stitches and put down again without being annoyed.
They were based on this pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tiny-amigurumi-owls
Except I changed it slightly and added some feet.
I went to Resource Rescue - http://discountcraftsupplies.com.au/ A place semi local to me where they recycle items from industry and business that can be used for craft. It is a fabulous idea. I got some rubber pellets that I used to stuff these little guys so that they weigh a bit more and sit on the shelf nicely - so obviously not safe for little children.
I found the pattern really easy to follow and fit my need of not having much time to crochet at the moment so wanted to have something I could just pick up and put down.
I am giving these little critters away as presents so I hope they are well received.
