Monday Miscellaneous

A Quick Trip:

My cousin and I made a quick run to Kansas last week--6 hours one way.  We were in Wichita from Tuesday through Friday morning.  Our grandfather was hospitalized.  Fortunately, he is now home.

Reward:

For great teamwork and a job well done, when we got home, Lori and I were rewarded with cheap wine.  Yay!

Owls Revisited:

Shay from Quilting in My Pyjamas asked Lori for a tutorial on how to make these adorable little owls.  She came across the directions online and provided the pdf to me to share.

Coming Soon:

Lori's gnomes.  (It's a good thing she's being so creative or I'd have nothing to blog about!)

Owls on Parade

I've mentioned my cousin and her creative crafting on this blog several times.  Today, it's finally time for show and tell.

Earlier this week she began making felt owls.  When I saw Lori cutting out the different colors of felt, sorting through the scrap bag, and choosing beads and buttons, I asked if she would make an owl for me.  Knowing that turquoise and purple are among my favorite colors, she made mine first.  Let me introduce, Turkle:

Turkle is attached to my computer, so I can enjoy him where I spend a lot of my time.  He was followed by Serge:

Serge was followed by Jane and Daisy.  (Don't you love Jane's googly eyes?)

Along came Moonbeam with the fussy cut eyes:

And the flock just keeps growing:

She's not done yet!
