Brown Owls '09'

Claire and I are Brown Owls this year, and really couldn't be more excited. We have yet to attend any classes, which is really lazy of us, but are keen to attend soon, I know we both want to develop our lack of crocheting skills, but a nice 'bring your own' session sounds like fun too.

I like these badges ALOT, I have chosen the blue one for our blog, because I think it will match and because I think its Penelope's favourite colour. I'm going to put the purple one up for Claire, because I think the two will look good together and its Mum's favourite colour, but she can change it if she likes. Thanks to threebuttons for designing them, they really are just lovely!

Today...

...or yesterday really, as it is past 12 o'clock Claire and I did lots of ironing, lots of cutting and lots of folding, as we embarked on making as many fat quarters as we could before the very first Brown Owl's meet, where they soon would become craft kits as part of handmade helps, support for those effected by the fires. It was great to see so many supplies there and so many people too, we can't wait to attend our first meeting.

Folding Fat quarters is really fun, I've never done it before, as we have never really had a need to, but with a little help from Kotoyoo's video it became quite addictive!

p.s. with a little encouragement from Jess we have finally set up a flickr account. its not very full yet and probably only contains pictures you would have already seen here, but its fun, soon I will begin searching around and hope to find lots of friends!

The Winner!

Today Claire and I placed all the names of the bloggers who entered our giveaway into a hat and pulled out a winner, and that name was Nomes! Congratulations, Nomes!! If You could e-mail us your address we will be sure to send off your prize as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone who entered, we really enjoyed reading all of your answers. And thanks to the Brown Owls, who very nicely allowed us to attend the picnic yesterday, it was really lovely, if a little windy. It was so great to see so much lovely picnic gear too. We can't wait for next year when we will both be eager members, and able to get to know everyone a little more!
