Cowboys and Roses

Today some lovely things came into my home. 

Thanks to my stitching buddy Gail T. I received an Ella & Skysie  pattern.  They all went to Quilters Angel at Highfields for a "Stitchers Dream Day out.".... without me..... I was at the wedding.  Oh well....  Thanks Gail.

Gail also brought me this beautiful bunch or roses from her garden.  She is a very special friend.    Yes Chooky.... these are the real deal. The scent of the big red one is glorious, if you had "smellablog" that is.....LOL.....

Also my mum in law Ailsa arrived from Gordonvale ( just South of Cairns.)

            " Welcome Ailsa" 

 And Bernie bought home this awesome little pack from the Cowboys Club in Townsville.  

Guess who it is for?  It's a shame the Cowboys  didn't make it to the final. 

 Evie is officially a Cowboys member, the youngest member of the club.... her grandfather will spoil her rotten I think !

So  cute

Even a dummy

Guess who is coming to visit on Wednesday?????

Have a lovely day !

Owling Around

After my last attempt at making an owl pattern and owl I had another go. Slightly different , less like a pokamon......LOL...

More my colours

The old wise owl and the young version, even though I pulled the young one apart and reduced the size of his ears  he still looks a little, well........

Owls

My friend Julie and I decided we would try to make an owl. No pattern,  just lots of looking and trying to come up with something .Best of all I enjoyed sewing with my friend.

My owl with her owlets on her tummy....LOL I think her feathers/ ears are too tall and her eyes are yet to be sewn on. I think i will be unpicking and modifying her ears/ feathers. I think she looks like a pokamon.
