Sitting Owls
Things have been a bit owl crazy around here in the last few months. When mum and I went to the craft show the other month she bought this very cute pattern for owls that stand up around your house. We’ve made them at craft group, and everyone has made multiple sets. Except maybe mum?!
Here is the blog of the woman who created these cute little things!
Anyway, I have two families, plus a little green one, plus a blue one Nana made me for my birthday! They are a range of sizes, and I want to make a rainbow of them. Below is the start of my rainbow of owls. I need to go and buy a few more pieces of fabrics in colours I don’t usually buy. I started these last week when Naomi and Jo came over for some craft. It was really nice to craft with other people. That’s one of the things I love about craft group.
Usually at nights I just do things by myself, and find satisfaction in people from the internet loving my creations (that would be you all!), and while that is definitely still the case, it is fun to have people to talk to while I make things! Does anyone else feel like this? To be honest, I have this hope that my children might like doing arts and crafts as well, and then we can all play together and make fun things.
The start of my new rainbow of owls!
Tiny little owls!
Craft Group
It’s been a little while since I told you what I’ve been doing at craft group, hasn’t it?!
Well, I haven’t been for quite a few weeks because of sickness, uni, and work, so this week I finished off some projects that were well overdue! This little bag below is one of the things I just finished off. I’ve filled it with the embroidery projects I have to finsih (there are WAY too many of them in there!!) When I was making it I even had a play with some of the cute decorative stitches. Definitely want to get myself a nicer sewing machine with stitches other then straight and zig zag!
I’m thinking of putting up a little “how to” for this bag, so stay tuned for that soon! One of the things I love, love, love about craft group is the fact that we all use the same pattern, and end up with such beautifully different pieces in the end! It’s mostly just from the colours we choose, but also the emblishments that each person adds!
I’ve also NEARLY finished my angels… I sewed their little wings together, and now I just need to decide if I want to do anything else to them (I’m thinking no…, what do you think?).
I’m not sure if there is a pattern for these angels or not… possibly from a Homespun magazine… I will try and find it for you if want, just let me know in the comments, or send me an email (talia.carbis (@) gmail.com).
Last week the girls made the CUTEST little owls from Claire‘s pattern. You can buy and download the pattern here- it’s only $10 and they are quite fun to make! I’m a little way behind with mine- I just have a half finished one. I’m using a grey and purple sock, so it will be super cute! I think I might make some for a friend who going to have a baby soon(ish)!
ALSO I’ve made a fan page for this blog (and my other hobbies) on facebook! So if you’ve got facebook then go check it out and become a fan!
