Rose the Owl Plush🦉

Creating a Rose the Owl Plush Stuffed Animal from the book "Why Me, Mama?" Acorn Cottage Press's mission is to create authentic and empowering disability representation for children. My hope is to donate Rose the Owl plushies to disabled children.

Rose Owl Tag + Only 24 Hours Left for My Body Beeps! Growing Up With Diabetes
about 2 months ago – Wed, Sep 25, 2024 at 01:51:30 PM

A hang tag is in the process of being designed for Rose owl plush and production is on schedule. So excited for Rose Owl Plush!!!





It's the last 24 HOURS for My Body Beeps! Growing Up With Diabetes and I am so excited for this book to come to life. With a different illustrator and a different process - this book is almost completely done! I'm blown away by the timeline of this project. The whole book went from a semi edited manuscript to a complete book with illustrations in 3 months! SO WILD!!!

This is the last chance to preorder My Body Beeps! and get a Katie or Josh or Special Custom Linen dolls before the campaign ends tomorrow! We currently have 92 backers and I think we can get to 100 backers before tomorrow. Can you help us get to 100 backers? Share out and support if you can!
Sharing out the last two spreads in the book, one page will go over the different types of diabetes to help educate others and the other provides discussion questions to help support families in discussing the book with their children to assist them in processing their feelings while gaining independence to help take care of their diabetes. Any feedback on these pages is appreciated!

Rose Owl is in production!

Rose the owl plush is currently in production which take about 4 weeks. I made a couple fine tuning alterations before moving into production mode - moving the leaf on the hat to the center of the seam and changing the color of the hat to have more contrast to Roses fur coloring. 


So excited for Rose owl to come to life and be loved and cuddled by all of you soon!


I just launched my next project: My Body Beeps! which is about growing up with diabetes. If you know someone with diabetes and would like to order them a copy, I am happy to combine the shipping to reduce cost.
