Colour Q #44 and Sweet Sketch #61, plus bonus owl:) lol




Hello there!! Yes...it has been awhile between posts...mmm...busy, busy, busy!! I recently went to a fantastic craft fair (and fun escape with a super, fantastic, fabulous craft buddy) and have been meaning to post some of my latest crafty/gadget/must have things that I got hooked on but the battery for the camera needed charging after I took these two photos.
I managed to visit the wonderful world of blog yesterday and just couldn't resist seeing the latest colour challenge at Colour Q and the sketch challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday...and wahlah...here is my little bit of inspiration.
The cute little owl below is from a craft workshop I did while I was away..of course I had to buy the patterns, material and bits to make the whole owl family...and you can check out the talented Jane over at her blog at BeBeBold -Japanese Textiles...I'm also hooked on Sashiko Dragonflies...will need to share that with you next time:)
Hope you are having a fantastic weekend! Ciao for now:)

  1. Ohhh how cute!!! And, how fun to be about to go to the craft fair. I am trying to get things planned so that I can go to a craft Expo in September. They are so fun to go to. It is so fun to bring back all the fun goodies that we find. I love your take on the sketch for SSW this week. And, I love how you used the ribbon. Very nice card. Happy to have you join us again!
