You know the rules!
The Sparkly Toad does NOT buy patterns.
Sure, she hopes to SELL them someday…but not today…
I love, love, love Owl Obsession by Marken of The Hat and I.

And I confess, she has me beat. 🙂 There are some parts to the pattern I can’t quite manage. Yet!
The most perplexing matter was joining the owl motifs to the solid colored background.
I made several attempts, but the backside came out lumpy, bumpy awful.
Not nice for a sweet baby gift.
So we invented our own version! And used applique instead of joined motifs.
Here are the first hexie attempts:
I like the pattern so much! It needs a name. Something with SNOW, I think. It almost seems a pity to sew anything over it. I may make another and leave it plain.
That’s as far as we are today! It was a lovely holiday weekend.
♡ Thank you to my sweet husband who has been in service to our country for over 20 years.
I spent last evening perusing edging options. I’ll keep you updated!
Happy hooking!
Update…the triangles are in! Still contemplating the edging.
I like: snow lace. Or snow drops. As it looks like each.:)

So Lovely! ❤
It’s turning out real nice, and I like snowdrops that Bev h came up with.
