BROWN OWLS
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009
A little while ago I became a prefect for the Brisbane chapter of Brown Owls, a crafting group and the brain child of Pip from Meet Me at Mikes.
So today, after a lot of busy organizing behind the scenes by myself and the other three wonderful prefects
Rebecca, Belinda and Emily we had our first Brown Owls meet.
I wasn’t really sure what to expect (being that I had never met any of the other members before) but i ended up having a great time!
Turn out was pretty good (approx 15 members) and the atmosphere was friendly and chatty.
Bel baked some delicious cupcakes for the whole group….yes, those are icing owls on top (genius!)
Bel and Em, two of the other prefects hard at work.
A lot of the girls chose to make my badge kits at the meet, and I felt like such a proud mother! It was great seeing how everyone personalized their badges and I was jealous of how skilled some of these ladies were with a needle and thread.
One of my problems with crafting and finding time to make things is that none of my friends are really into it. The meet today made me realise exactly just what I was missing by hiding away in my craft room alone.
Wonderfully talented people to inspire, and share your joy with, to help you when you hit a crafting snag (yes the letters do have to be written backwards when you transfer on an embroidery pattern) :p , and just to have a good old fashioned giggle with.
I had heaps of fun today and hopefully I will make some great friends from the whole experience.
