Glad you like them! They were being such prima donnas, wouldn't pose straight on, just kept rolling over so I could only get them in profile!

When I do a car boot or craft fair, I charge the princely sum of £1 - after all, they're only the leftovers of my knitting wool and some curtain rings! Even at that price I've only ever sold a dozen or so. When I was in hospital once, I sold the one I was making to the lady in the next bed! I seem to do better that way than at craft fairs lol!

They're fun to make, but a bit fiddly when it comes to sewing on the eye rings - that's the hardest part, I usually stab myself with the needle a few times! I got tired of making things in jute, it's so expensive and hard on the hands, but I like macrame and I loved the owl plant pot hangers in the macrame book I'd got, so I thought I'd try a smaller version. The first ones I made were all browns and greys until I thought, why not use up oddments of wool and make them in pretty colours? Now anything goes, as long as the colours look good together. Some are in as many as 28 different colours, but most are only 2 colour.
