Creative Challenge Number 1 - Sock Owls

Creative Challenge number 1 started with a ... whimper!  After impatiently waiting for a dinner that did NOT want to cook, negotiating the Monkey and Ratbag to have seconds while the Princess procrastinated over the first bowl, I managed to drag the brood out of the house leaving Captain Awesome to enjoy some rare solitude.  I did comment on the relief that CraftyCow now resides (literally) around the corner, and not the half hour trek that used to seem so much longer down the dark and windy road it was.

Upon arrival, we discovered that the Calf and the Tank were sleeping, which of course was a cue for the rest of the collective brood to scream, cry, fight, play with noisy toys and anything else they could think of which would cause industrial deafness.

With my temper worn thin barely two minutes in the door, we sat down and started the Creative Challenge.  Bearing in mind that these are initial prototypes ( read - pathetic attempts at a very cool concept)  We followed the steps very carefully to end with... an owl that looks like a football granny, an owl that looks like a drunk hobo and mine, which looks...well... like it would have been great if, as she requested to lie about, Spacey had made it.  So, I have included the link to the wonderful site that has sock owl instructions but through trial and error, CraftyCow and myself will be making final adjustments before we upload the finished products. 

We are going to give a prize each week to the Creative Challenger voted the winner, so get crafting, upload those photos, and entries will close 12 am next Wednesday morning, when a new Challenge will have been posted.

Until next time,

Have Fun Playing!
