My first sewing attempt

I've decided that I am going to try to make a lovely owl I found on FREEBIES FOR CRAFTERS' blog http://freebiesforcrafters.blogspot.com/2009/12/give-hoot-owl.html.  Instead of using all felt I'm going to try using some material I bought yesterday. I've taken over the living room table and my mum's sewing machine...... we'll see what it turns out like later!
