Great Minds!
You may recall that not all that long ago, I wrote about Meg Thompson Shinall’s (Blogroll) latest design called Life’s A Hoot …
Imagine my surprise to find Hedwig’s younger second cousin of a slightly different, but still closely related, species of owl, Ozzie, who is a scissor keeper and needle minder also starring the Putford scissors in a design called What a Hoot! from Janie Hubble of The Cat’s Whiskers (Blogroll).
Orders are already being taken for Ozzie, a chart available for $5.
Hedwig is already here at my home with his darling baby owls and attracting lots of attention from my kitties, so I am holding off on Ozzie myself for just a bit … Not long because I am a diehard eighties Cardinals baseball fan who will always love the dearly retired #1 
but long enough for … well, I’ll get to that.
Hedwig and Ozzie are definitely examples of a great bit of marketing by Kelmscott Designs’ Paula Sibbald … and if you don’t like the darker color of the Putford scissors, then perhaps you can switch out for a pair of the new Seaton scissors being released at the Online Needlework Show running right now! Think of them as the brunette and the blonde scissors … Janie Hubble even has a picture showing on her site with Ozzie in the new Seatons so you can decide which you like better before you buy the scissors.
And that’s what I’m waiting for — because I don’t really need two pairs of the same scissors, and I really think this little Ozzie looks cuter as a blonde!
