I whipped up an owl for my Granny.  He's so adorable!  I found the pattern here, Crocodile Stitch III: Crochet Owl but revised some of it.  I used crochet thread for the eyes and did the nose as more of a triangle then working in the round.  It took 2 nights to complete him.  My youngest wants me to make one for her, even though she knows how to crochet...
