Cross Stitch
Love and an owl. I kind of love it. Happy Valentine’s Day early <3
Pattern available from 123stitch.com
If you want to fully replicate the adorableness, the beautiful fabric the model was stitched on is 28 sount hand dyed Watercress Jobelan using Gentle Art Sampler threads. No worries if you’re on a stash budget (me too) there are DMC alternatives available for the threads as well.
Happy stitching!
The turquoise guy pictured here at left is definitely my favorite of the six. (Finn Owlet)
I get it, Spring, renewal, easter, pastely colors, etc… but I’m having a hard time loving the owls in the eggs. I guess maybe I just want to see wings and feathers and majestic owl beauty. Lately it seems like owls are being represented as cutesy and colorful everywhere, almost to the point of annoying and tiresome. (I said almost, I don’t think I’ll ever be tired of seeing owls represented in art and needlework, even if they’re pastel and cute.)
What do YOU think of the new Owlet designs? Which one is your favorite? Leave a comment below…
I am always on the lookout for owls to stitch up, and having a set of owl ornaments sounded promising. But two of these owls sort of creep me out with their eyes…
For the most part I really like Janlynn ornament kits, they have all sorts of cute groupings. And I really like owl designs to stitch. But for some reason I can’t fall in love with this set… those two owls are giving me the stink eye. Maybe I’ll just stitch the other four and skip those two?
Seriously… I’m not going to say which ones. You tell me what you think. Maybe I’m just seeing things where there aren’t things to see.
What do you think; creepy or cute?
The full Janlynn Owl Ornament Kit is available at a great price on Amazon.
How cute is this little guy? You know I love finding owl cross stitch patterns around the web, and this one just happens to be a freebie.
Whoo-Hoo Me comes from Kincavel Krosses and those big owl eyes are just too adorable. I had to share the cuteness.
Of course at this point I have so many owls on my to-stitch list that I’ll probably never get them all stitched up, but a girl can dream.

If you’ve been reading at Stitching the Night Away for any length of time you’ve probably caught on that I like seeing owls in cross stitch, so this week’s featured chart probably comes as no surprise to you.
If you’re new around here – welcome! I’m glad you’ve stopped by to chat and stitch 🙂
Night Owl is actually a complete cross stitch kit from Mill Hill.

I came across this free owl cross stitch pattern when I was browsing on Pinterest (Yes, I am a Pinterest addict) and it’s absolutely adorable. The site is not in English, but it does say “Freebie” and you can download the pattern by clicking on it from the site.
=> This is the original source to get the owl pattern and offers two different color variations, one in the fun colors pictured here and one in neutral brown tones that are a bit more owl-realistic.
Happy Stitching!
Owls and Sunflowers are both things that make me smile, so this design from Imaginating really caught my attention this morning. This is Dream Direction and it includes a lovely inspirational quote as well…
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how fast this cross stitch chart jumped onto my wishlist to be saved for my next stash haul. I can already envision it hanging in the hallway or maybe in the kitchen.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s find as much as I did. Happy stitching!
Is this not the most adorable little owl you’ve seen? He was just released this week by Ship’s Manor and you can get him for free! (Click here)
I downloaded the PDF right away ~ now I just need to get it printed (I don’t have a printer right now) and I think he’ll make a perfect travel stitch project this summer.
Happy Stitching!
By the way, go give Erik some Facebook love and click “like” on the Ship’s Manor page!
Well, my mother-in-law who insists on buying everyone a Christmas gift and a birthday gift every year saw me post it, saw the great comments it got in response, and filed it away in her bookmarks for the holidays. (My birthday is right after Christmas and she insists I’m the most difficult person to buy for, LOL)
The last thing I expected when I opened my gift was this pretty Winter Sun owl cross stitch kit
Do you get cross stitch gifts? I’d love to hear some stories here, so please leave a comment!
Happy Stitching!
