My brown owl – and a new blog
Somewhere over the past few weeks I slipped in a little bit of stitching time. My Brown Owls tote bag embroidery is now complete!
It was lots of fun, and quite relaxing. Embroidery takes a really long time though to cover a small area, doesn’t it! I don’t think that I will become addicted – I’ll just do a little every now and then, when deemed necessary. The tote bag will eventually get some fabric trim to match the rest of my “uniform” (an apron – still existing only in my head).
Nicole Mallalieu finally has a blog! Yay Nikki! Go over and have a look – it’s a great way to see what she is up to and she’d also love feedback. I have SO MANY of her bags all planned in my head waiting patiently to come to fruition.
We were away in the country visiting my parents for the long weekend, and you know what that means – car crochet! I’ve finished a few more 9 inch blocks, and a school beanie for Clare. I’ll hopefully photograph them and blog them over the next couple of days. Thanks also for the lovely comments about the cardigan – Clare wore it all weekend.
I love the owl – and I love the idea of an apron for the uniform! We didn’t get owls as faraway members, but we di get our name tag. I haven’t even stitched mine yet! So slack.
Your owl stitchery looks really sweet!
Hi, This is so cute! Great Job!! Stitching can take some time…but the results are really exciting. smiles, alicia in Hawaii, http://www.curiosities808.wordpress.com
Oh, your owl looks so wonderful. I love the idea of embroidery but can’t seem to find the time to really give it a go. One day perhaps.
Hey, thanks for the plug, Lara. You’re a gem! (You and I BOTH have a lot of my bags planned in our heads!!!).
Love your little owl!! Just be warned…. stitching can be ALMOST as addictive as blogging!!!
The owl is so unusual. I like the edging on the crochet cardi – there are times when I wish I could crochet.
I wanted to let you know that I gave you an award, and posted a link from my blog!
Feel free to post it on your blog…or not if you don’t want to. Just wanted to let you know that you are one of my favorite blog people!!
Good job on your owl 🙂 Mine is (ahem) still waiting… Maybe this weekend! Thanks for the news about Nikki’s blog, too.
Oh Lara your Ike Owl looks absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful stitchery.
Love your little owl! Your stitches are amazing!
I find everything you do so inspirational. having an embroidery obsessed mother, this has given her so many new ideas. Thanks
