We’ve been invaded by owls this weekend. I made another couple yesterday and young Miss MadeStuff is going to be making a larger owl after her lunch today (a picture of that will naturally follow construction). I think they look like they’re getting ready for some Christmas carols and the chap there on the left [...]
