Mabel is one very cute girl! You hugely underrated that and I bet Connie falls in love with her.
ReplyDeleteReally your owl is wonderful...and this is exactly the kind of crafty thing that Mz Allsopp should be featuring. It's lovely.
Very cute. I wonder if it's the blue buttons that make the eyes look a little blank...
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. I like the blue eyes! We all see things differently. It is a beautiful gift.
