Langly Bear Loses His Cool
Being Patient
All my writing is G rated.

Narration:

Guess what everyone, something's wrong with Langly! 

Who knows what it is?  He's been out kickin' at stumps all day long!

Something's going on and Hooty the Owl is determined to find out what's wrong with his friend.

Hooty:  Hey Langly! Langly!  When you get tired of kickin' at stumps, come on over here and let's talk a bit.  What's wrong with you anyway?

Your toe already looks twice its size!  Give it a break why don't ya!

Better cut it out before you really do break it!  If ya know what I mean!

Hey Langly!  You're a grump quit kickin' stumps!  Ha Ha Ha!  Toe funny I had to laugh.

Langly: Are you having your laugh at my expense?  I've been toeing the line here and you're just sitting at the shop having a good hearty laugh.

Glad I can make you feel so good, while I'm walking around with a ball on the end of my foot. 

Hooty:  Whooo, look at the bright side Langly, you could have had put your nose too close to the grindstone.   Then your nose would be too big to look past.  Which is better? big toe or big nose?  Ha Ha Ha

Langly: That's easy for you to say... For somebody so nosey! You don't even have a nose!  Quit peckin' on me! .. Quit peckin' on me! Am I your personal peckin' post or what?

Hooty:  Okay! Langly, I've got one thing to say to you. 

Langly: What? Hurry Up! What?

Hooty: You've lost your cool. 

Langly: Whaaaat?

Hooty:  Whooo.. Whooo... lost his cool? - you did. you did.

What are you mad at?

Langly: I'm tired of being tired!  I'm tired of diggin' for grubs!  When Papa bear gets home He wants grub on the table.  Guess who gets the grub diggin' job?  Me, myself and I.  Mama bear has put down the law!

"No fun till the job is done!"  Now my toe hurts and I'm tired.  I'm too tired to have any fun, besides my bucket's not full yet.  No time to climb trees, collect berries, look for honey or go fishing! That's no life, who wants to look at grubs all day?

Hooty: Well Langly, look at the bright side.  You still have one good toe left.  You'll get some of that grub to eat at dinner time too.

Langly: Very funny!  Hooty. 

Hooty: Okay Langly,  let's pray about it?  When you've lost your cool you've lost your patience. 

Langly: Okay, let's pray that God helps me find it fast.  pray for my toe too.  I've got a lot more grub diggin' to do.  

Hooty: Father in heaven, help us to be patient with each other and with whatever the day brings.  Help us through our problems and help us rejoice in you. In Christ name. amen

Hooty:  We all lose our cool sometimes Langly.  That's when we need to

apologize and ask God to help us stay patient when things get hard.

Langly: Your right Hooty, besides, grubs are sounding pretty good right now.  I'm hungry for some grub!  With lots of berry butter on it.

Hooty: Whooo ever thought? Get a little hungry and things get better fast.

Narration: Looks like Langly's learning how to be patient.  We all have to learn patience and need to ask God to help us have good attitudes.  We all have things we would rather be doing, but obeying God and taking care of each other is the most important job we have. 

Continue talking about prayer and choices.

Felt Owl Measuring Tape + Free PDF Pattern

Felt Owl Measuring Tape + Free PDF Pattern:

OK Internet, as promised, an owl craft made just for you! You can download a PDF pattern for this little Owl at the bottom of the page.



I have been stuck in bed this week, hit hard with the worst cold I think I have ever had. So if you want to try this at home, it is so easy it can be done under the covers, on a lap tray, while drinking tea and hunting for a good movie on Netflix. I just hope your partner doesn't mind little bits of felt and fluff in the bed!



I made this little owl out of some of my wool felt scraps and a tiny Japanese measuring tape which I had picked up ages ago at my favourite local fabric store, Gala Fabrics. Our little owl friend is hand sewn and embroidered with cotton embroidery threads, and stuffed, along with the measuring tape, with a little polyester fiberfill and some quilt batting. It is hard to see in the pictures, but the tape has a pull tab which comes out just behind the owls wing. If you don't have a tiny tape measure, you can still make a stuffy version or applique him onto any of your projects for some added cute.

The first step is to decide what colours you like for your owl and cut out all your felt pieces. This took my sick-addled brain a long time, but I finally I chose some of my favourite colours, a soft heather purple and pink with light browns. If you design your own felt animal for this project, notice in the photos below that you need to make the body at least a 1/4" bigger than your tape measure on all sides



Next, sew on the felt features and embroider the body of your owl. I used 3 strands of embroidery floss for most of the decorative stitches, 6 strands of brown for the owl body, and 2 strands to sew down the eyes and beak. I also used a little bit of stuffing in the beak to make it puffy. All my stitching is just simple straight stitches and overcast stitches. If you are not under the influence of a big mug of NeoCitran, you might want to attempt something fancier, but it's not really necessary (I had this idea to cover the back of the owl with lazy-daisy stitch "feathers", but that seemed too exhausting).



Decorate the front of each wing as you like and then sew the wing fronts and backs together with 2 strands thread, adding a little stuffing before closing them up. Stitch together the little toes. I used 1 strand of floss in a fine needle to make sewing the tiny little toes easier.

Cut out two pieces of cotton quilt batting a little smaller than your owl body. I used a little quilt baste spray (yeah, don't do that step in bed!) to attach the batting to the wrong side of each brown body piece. Position your measuring tape button side down, on the back side of your owl body, so that the tab comes out behind where a wing will be. I held the tape in place with a couple of basting stitches which I pulled out when the owl was finished.



I sewed the body together with overcast stitches, starting from the middle of the head and working my way around clockwise. Stuff as you go, both around the edges, and adding a little stuffing on top of the tape.



When you reach a spot to insert wings or feet, tuck them between the two body pieces and make sure your stitches catch all 3 layers as you sew. When you reach the tape measure tab, cut a little slit in the felt so that the tape can move freely (see picture above).



Keep sewing and stuffing until you reach the top of the head again, make a knot and then draw your thread through the owls body. Clip the thread close, the tail will be pulled back into the owls body. Pull out the basting stitches around the measuring tape from the back.

This little owl would be a great gift for a crafty friends sewing box, but a handy little measuring tape in your purse is really useful for thrifty shoppers too! I find carrying a measuring tape to garage sales and thrift stores helps me be sure that one of a kind finds will actually fit and be used in The Tiny Apartment and won't be a waste of money. I also carry a tiny notebook with the measurements of things I hope to find: the height of my chairs, the width of a shelf I could use, yardage for sewing projects, the diameter of the Pyrex lid I am missing, etc...
