hootenanny owl photo session and giveaway winner

5 Orange Potatoes — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:49:30 +0000

A Hootenanny Owl photo session was going on this morning in the creative room by Fauna and Araina. They asked me if I would post their photos of the Hootenannies; so I did just that!

I cannot stop making these little guys. I tend to get a little obsessed with something for a short amount of time, then I get bored after a while and move on to a new creative endeavor. Have you noticed this about me yet?

Some of them have names like- Doughnut Hootenanny (center one in stripes),

Garbo Hootenanny,

and Woodsy Hootenanny.

Thank you to everyone who entered the Hootenanny Owl giveaway and sent warm birthday wishes to my Great Aunt Curt. The party went off perfectly and so smoothly! Also, thank you for the well wishes for Fauna, she is much better today.

Now to announce the giveaway winner- Princess, the cutie little lady from Shady Lady: My World Behind Big Shades. Shady, send me your addy and Princess’ 3 favorite colors, I want to make one special just for her. Have a great weekend everybody!

owl giveaway and 100 years old!

5 Orange Potatoes — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:19:51 +0000

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!

hoot owls!
