A bit too cosy…!

This is my first post here, no doubt the first of many as I do quite often have crafting mishaps!. On my blog, I post the occasional tutorial, this one was going to be for an owl shaped egg cosy. I spent a whole day, designing, making and typing up the instructions, and also photographing it as a step-by-step, along the way. Only to find, that for my closing shot, the egg cosy didn’t actually fit over an egg!!.

It was too small!!

Oopps!, back to the drawing board and start again!

So cute! He could be a finger puppet, or if you stuffed him and sewed up the bottom, a baby owlet figurine. (because, I’m a grown-up and too old for toys, they’re figurines now. ;) )

I’m sorry the cozy idea didn’t work, but the owl is adorable. :)

lori, i’m in the uk, egg cosies must be a bit of a british thing i guess!, it’s for keeping your soft boiled egg warm.

OMG! I want one!!

Did you ever post the tutorial of the one that fits? (Though this one is so cute, I would make it, too!)

Perfect for those who prefer quail’s eggs to hen’s.

Oh my – he is lovely! I want to make one! I was actually thinking what a cute little coin purse he’d make – maybe with smaller wings.. but put a zip in the bottom and voila!- cutest coin purse ever!

What a great “finger puppet”

He is adorable! it looks like he is sitting on the egg to try to hatch it. – you could even make up a little story to go with it about and make up a little picture/kids book.
