Owl Doorstop

Something a bit different from me, not a card  this time : )
UnstampaBelles has a stitching challenge and this time it doesn't have to be papercraft.  This cute owl is stitched then stuffed with 1kilo of rice and a bit of toy-fill to soften, gathered up at the bottom and felt eyes and beak glued on.  The eyes were cut using my Big Shot, so much easier and neater than cutting with scissors  : )
