  2. I see lots of things crossed off, more off then on, so looks like you're doing well.

  3. Did you actually make the Owlie sack? Awesome job on the list, you're rocking it! I'm hoping to make something similar to the owlie sack or a cocoon for a newborn for a friend. I'm absolutely new to this and just wondering if you had some great ideas/tips to do so?
