Twit Twoo! Join the owl takeover...

If you are anything like me you will have noticed a creeping takeover by fluffy round eyed birds in design and crafts recently. Owl motifs are frigging everywhere at the moment and have been for a while now. I get it, they're cute and boggle eyed and fluffy and can be customised with colour to match into any scheme. With that in mind I bring you my pick of the best (or nest! geddit?)

1) this cute owl cuddly/ cushion is one of about a gazillion on etsy and other craft sites and blogs at the moment. It seems you aren't worth your salt as a crafter these days if you havent made and posted a patchwork owl. I am not worth my salt... yet but I do want to make one of these beauties soon. I love this one (hes called 'cornelius' by the way) because he uses the coolest check and paisley scraps and has a certain debonair feel, which is what an owl should be I think.

2) These amazing woodland wall decals are from notonthehighstreet.com and are just one variety in a large section of owl and other creature wall stickers for your home. They would be so sweet in a childs room or nursery, or even in your own room if you are young at heart. I love them above a bed as in this picture.

3) If you don't quilt or sew then you might not know Michael Miller fabrics, they are one of the biggest I would say for this kind of craft print cotton. His prints really are always amazing and this pattern 'Forest Life' is one of my faves. It would be great to make the aforementioned patchwork owl project (the idea of owls on an owl is stragely pleasing to me) It also comes in 5 colourways including some more manly versions! although they still have little bambis on them so I'm not sure its quite 'Terminator' manly.

4)This little owl necklace is so cute, enough said really. It makes the grade for the contrast colours, the brass fixings and the antiquey enamel owl.

5)Owl stamp from notonthehighstreet again, I love this website. This cute rubber stamp set would be great to make your own gift tags on manilla luggage labels, It would also be good for Christmas cards or maybe your own wrapping paper (if you can be faffed with that!)

6) finally this little owl hat is the cutest thing ever! I wish I could knit or crochet or whatever the genius who made this did!
