Plushie Owl (with pattern!) Crocheted

Wow- long time, no update... we've had lots (and lots) going on in this household and to be honest, just haven't had time or ability to update on here.  The only way I have to update my blog at the moment is using a dinosaur of a laptop and it's on its last leg.  So I will do the best I can and in the meantime, attempt to figure out how to blog using the tablet!

I've been regularly posting to my Instagram account (I'd love for you to follow me there: BelleAndrew) and you will see the owl for this pattern there from roughly 2 weeks ago. :)

***Please do not copy/claim this pattern or distribute it.  I would be happy to see your final results and if there are any questions regarding the pattern, please don't hesitate to ask or email.  You may sell the finished results but all I ask is credit for the pattern. Thank you!

I wrote this pattern out as I was making my test owl, so I have no made a 2nd one based solely on following the pattern.  Please let me know if there are any mistakes or parts which are no understandable and I will do my best to help/fix it.
