Are you enjoying the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaways?
I am clicking like a crazy woman between the blogiverse and the amazing comments on yesterday's post. Good luck to all of you on your entries; there is some wonderful handiwork out there amongst the English. (I loved Harrison Ford in Witness!)
Today's Groundhog Prize features one of my favorite projects. Wool felt pins and barrettes have been my best-selling art show item and I am sharing two with you!
I gave the Pioneer Woman one of those little owls when I went to her last book-signing here in Cincinnati. The sunshine is to bring the sun's rays back after last night's storm.
I have also included some wool blend felt strips from my stash and some craft thread for embroidering. I added in some pretty little buttons and a few pin backs so all you need is a darning needle and sharp pointed scissors to make your own pins.
This giveaway ends at noon on Thursday, May 26 EDT. All you need to do is leave a comment with a good name for my little owl friend. Granddaughters will select the winner.
Don't forget! Yesterday's Giveaway is also open until noon on the 26th. Have fun!
I think Lulu is a perfect name for an owl!

I think his name should be Herman.

When I was younger I named everything Bob, so I'm partial to it. But if Bob isn't quite your cup of tea, I'd pick Ollie next :)

He looks like a Harry to me. :)

I think she should be Olivia the owl!

Hoot seems like too obvious a name for an owl so I think I would come up with Sam (from an old book that I had as a child , Sam and the Firefly).

Hortensia or Horace. So cute!

Posted by: Sarah | 05/24/2011 at 01:24 PM
I was going to suggest Horace, but see that someone else did already. Perhaps Cornelius?

I think Hooter is the perfect name for that Owl
Posted by: Claire | 05/24/2011 at 02:24 PM
Cute Owl. I would suggest Wise.

Hi, just wanted to say great prize. I would call him 'Freckles' because of his speckled chest. I love the little sunshine badge, its been raining here for 5 days now and I could do with a little sunshine :)

I like the name Melvin; it sounds like an owl to me.:)
Posted by: Audrey | 05/24/2011 at 04:24 PM
How about Ophelia the Owl? Could your owl be a girl?
Posted by: Eve | 05/24/2011 at 04:41 PM
Hmm, granddaughters are picking... Justin Bieber the Owl? Just kidding. I'll go with Doctor Hoo.
Posted by: Kelly P | 05/24/2011 at 05:34 PM
I would name him Mortimer - it sounds like a wise owl!
Posted by: Nancy | 05/24/2011 at 05:36 PM

Henrietta comes to mind. Thanks for the chance to win! Lovely!

I think that I would choose the name Odell, for the alliteration aspect.
Posted by: Sally | 05/24/2011 at 06:33 PM
Howie the Hoot Owl!
Posted by: Maman A Droit | 05/24/2011 at 06:38 PM
