An Owl Pouch for Toffies

My son has a great attachment to his grandparents, which is so natural. While me and D are "bad bad always prohibiting everything and stopping him from doing anything he wants parents"! I believe though that grandparents contributed to my little A's  sweet tooth development. But if I think more, it couldn't have been any other way when his dad can never resist a bite of chocolate or some Indian sweets whenever offered (or not offered, and he grabs them himself :))
A's recent obsession - toffees of different kinds (in wraps). He might not eat them but will be carrying around the house everywhere, eventually losing them and asking me where have they all gone. What's more, yesterday he didn't want to fall asleep until I put two little toffees in his hand! Hence, to ensure he always has his favourites in one place and won't be dropping them here and there, I crocheted this super easy owl pouch, and EVEN inserted a lining made of an old T-shirt.
It seems to be very handy, and little A loves wearing bags too (often wears a similar cross shoulder pouch of mine which is too long for him). The days have become colder in Chandigarh, we wear sweaters and socks at home and sleep under thick quilts at night. This might have promoted my wish to crochet cozy little things. My A enjoys wrapping up himself in various blankets and not resisting to wear sweaters and socks anymore.
One more owl to our collection, this time, a useful one. I can improve the pattern and make it in bigger sizes with a zipper or any other type of lock. Attaching the lining was not that difficult and scary (lol) but rather interesting.
Here are our owl-y wishes of a warm and welcoming home for you to have and to live in! Blessed be!

    1. Hey Linda, thanks... I don't really know but he likes to collect things and keep them with him at all times. For some reason it makes him feel secure maybe...

  5. Cute owl pouch !! It is slightly cool here in south as well but we don't need sweater as of now. You may try making lapghan for your son, it's easy and small in size, he might enjoy that.

    1. Thanks Preeti! It is quite cold here in the evening too, but I enjoy it. I am not fond of hot summers...
      Well, I made 85% percent of lapghan, but stopped as I need to buy yarn .. Hopefully by December I will finish it. Lol.

  10. I imagine I'd be one of those grandparents with a pocket full of candies! My grandpa always had some in his pocket, too - chicken bones, scotch mints and humbugs. Funny how those memories stay with you. :)
