Owl - Take 2

Tonight I made an owl for my eldest. My youngest LOVES her owl...and I think my eldest is feeling a bit jealous and wishing she had chicken pox again! I think I may prefer this one...

                                             

Any thoughts on which owl you prefer? I like how the feathers of this one contrast more. And it was much better, having done it once, as I didn't have to unpick this one so many times (or re-read the instructions!).

 

Talking of chicken pox...we are still in the thick of it.

 She seems to suffer more with hers...and we are 3 days in and new spots are STILL appearing - will it ever end?
