owl giveaway and 100 years old!
Tomorrow we are leaving for Virginia to celebrate 100. 100 years of age that is, my Great Aunt Curt turns 100 on Monday. She was born on February 15, 1910, can you imagine? Here she is in the 40′s, around 34 years old (this is the invitation done by my sister Katrina and her husband)-
She loves geraniums, she still plants them every spring. I thought a geranium brooch would be a good gift for her.
The little ladies and I spent a big part of the afternoon today making 100 paper birds to hang for the party.
Valentines were also made for the family we will be seeing.
I just love the simplicity of this one-
As a celebration, in honor of Curt, I’m doing an owl softie giveaway. Oh, how I would love to give away 100 owls, but can’t quite do that!
Brown-eyed Girl and Gold Finger are already taken BUT……..
I have sewn up a flock to finish (by hand) in Virginia. If you want one, not knowing which one you will be receiving mind you, leave a comment here, no matter where in the world you live. We return from Va. late Tuesday so I will announce the winner sometime on Wednesday.
Be back Wednesday. Have a great weekend, happy Valentine’s Day, stay warm, and enjoy the snow, especially those of you who aren’t quite used to snow! Oh, and by the way to those of you who asked in my previous post, I get all my sweater scraps from my mom who makes bags and purses from thrifted sweaters. Lucky me!

My college mascot is an owl. As my grandmother and aunt both surrounded themselves with images of owls, as well, those amazing birds have always had a special place in my heart for a long time. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us, and yes, someone in Texas would love an owl!
