Tuesday
I could not believe the frost this morning - it was white everywhere - and the sun was trying to peek through a little gap between the hills and the clouds - but not for long as the clouds lowered and everything went gray. The sun came out again at about 11am - was happy to see and feel it!
Gisborne park
Craft fair
Had a great day at the Craft Fair at Jeffs Shed on Saturday - made a Lucky Japanese Owl - surprise huh!! They bring luck to the person who gives them I was told on Saturday - Hamish the Owl is made and sitting on the bench ready for a visit to the sewing group tomorrow. As usual there was lots to look at and be tempted to buy - I did weaken and but a pattern with bees on it, plus some fabric plus a beautiful blue fabric I can felt onto (when I get brave!). I found a hanger with stars on it for the owl wall quilt, wasn't looking for it but there it was!!
Isn't this a beautiful quilt?? Could imagine myself sitting by the waterfall.

Owls
Had a trip up to Kyneton with Marg and Sylvia last Friday and found this wonderful book - Favourite Techniques by Pat Sloan and on the front were these cute as owls!! So I had to have it and came home thinking about what I could do. Went to see Lorraine the next day to get some of the dark blue starry night fabric for the background 'cos owls come out at night don't they? I had some batiks with gold thru' them that I wanted to use and here is the result - still work to be done, the eyes need to be finished but I am really happy with how they have turned out do far. Big smiles on my face!!! I get so excited when an idea actually works!!

Daylesford
Spent the day in Daylesford yesterday - foggy from Woodend to Daylesford and foggy all day. We were told it was 4 degrees at one stage - sure felt like it. Eve had a great time in the antique shop, I sat by the pot belly stove and sewed! Sadly I forgot to take my camera!!
