(Oh yeah, did I mention that yet? We’re naming him Jack.)
The stitching is far from perfect and it almost looks like it has devil horns, but I think this little felt owl will have no problem making a cozy home in Maddie and Jack’s soon-to-be shared room.
What do you guys think of making a few more of these owls and turning them into a mobile for the baby’s crib? I’m getting the crafty bug!
I LOVE that name thats what I wanted to name my baby but Mat doesnt like it.

on September 22nd, 2010 at 12:00 am
I love that name! So cute :) and such cute owls too!

That owl is adorable – and makes Mommy wish she had skills… I *love* birds, so I think a flock of owls a my mobile would be supercool, but I could also see it being a little scary.

I love the owl. I think that owls are all over the place right now but yours looks unique. I also love the colors.

Lorelei and Spencer are going to be sharing a room soon (his crib is still by my side) and to be honest, i’m not ready.
I don’t know how to make the transition smooth for lorelei. I’m so worried that she’s going to crawl into his crib lay next to him (because she’s done it before).
but hopefully it’s easy peasy.

Love it, I’d go mobile. All the way, so j’adorable.

Jack Gable is such a great name! Classy and manly all at the same time. Aww you’re going to have a little man! An owl mobile is a-mazing.
on September 21st, 2010 at 8:54 pm
YESYESYES to owl mobiles & YESYESYESYESSSS to the name Jack!
on September 21st, 2010 at 8:55 pm

on September 21st, 2010 at 8:55 pm
ZOMG! Jack! Love it! And loooove the owl! Em’s birthday party will be owl-themed.

Cutest mobile idea ever!
on September 21st, 2010 at 9:25 pm

on September 21st, 2010 at 10:36 pm

and yes!! that’s an awesome idea!!
and..how are you going to make their room up into boy/girl..hehe?!
on September 21st, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Ummmm, how much can I pay you to make me some owl mobiles? I had every intention to make them before the girls were born, and I never did.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:04 am
I did a bird mobile for Rian's room, and a little felt birdie for a picture on her wall, I am deep into the birds right now, so I say go for it. And is his name just Jack or Jackson or Jacks?
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:05 am
I know 5 people that just namwd their kids jack and jackson. Very popular name right now!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:08 am
Love that name! Way cute owl!:-)
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:11 am
Will he be a Jackson or simply Jack? We have several, my grandpa, uncle and grandson. It was fun seeing you the other evening.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:28 am
♥ the name!!! And the owl is pretty darn cute too. Creative people. BAH.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:28 am
Erin, you flatter me! I really hope the thing turns out alright… then maybe I can perfect them and put them up in my shop at some point. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, haha.Jennifer, it's just Jack. People keep asking me that question, it's funny. But no Jackson, just plain Jack. We like it simple. :)
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:49 am
Elizabeth, it was great seeing you too! You look fantastic!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 10:55 am
Random alert! I couldn't sleep AT ALL last night and I LOVE your blog. I was going through your archives and stumbled upon the Jr High moses sandals, glitter everything and butterfly clips. OMG, I was laughing so hard to myself, I just thought I'd let you know even at 2am, someone out there is loving Mrs. Priss!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:00 am
"just jack"!? now I got old episodes and singing from will and grace running through my head…love the owl! u should sell him on etsy! :)
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:01 am
Bahahaha, Melissa! Do you remember when we used to draw our eyeliner with actual PEN!? THE HORROR.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:15 am
So I must know, is Maddie short for Madison? Either way I love them both- Maddie and Jack. And I also love the owl, its very cute, imperfect and all.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:16 am
Regan, Maddie is short for Madeline. :) Thank you!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:17 am
You're so crafty!! I love it!!!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:23 am
Simple is good, Jack is a strong name for a man.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 11:37 am
Thank you!!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I LOVE that name thats what I wanted to name my baby but Mat doesnt like it.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Jack!! Love it! And love the little owl!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 5:19 am
I'm loving this Owl!!! I need some inspiration for a mobile for Sir Lincoln ….please help!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 12:36 pm
There are 2 things I love… owls…. and mobiles…. so I say go for it. I think it would be adorable. You could even make little felt twigs for some of the owls to perch on!
p.s. I love the name Jack.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 5:36 am
A wonderful name and a beautiful idea for a mobile!
I’m curious to find out what you have planned for a shared kid’s room. My son and daughter share a room and it was a challenge to decorate.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 5:59 am
Love the owl. And the name is even cuter. Jack is one of my favorites!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 1:03 pm
My oldest son’s name is Jack (Jackson), so I think it’s a great name! :)
And I love your owl! Great idea on the mobile. My baby is 5 1/2 weeks old and needs some room decor, so thanks for the idea!
on September 22nd, 2010 at 7:11 am
So cute!! I think an owl mobile is a great idea. :) You’re so creative…you’re welcome.
on September 22nd, 2010 at 7:49 am
Cute! I think they would be perfect for a mobile!
Does this mean you are going with the bird and owl theme too? ;)
on September 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 am
Thanks you guys!!
Tristan and Lisa: I’ve decided on a woodland theme with Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf (a happy wolf, of course). We’ll see how it goes!
