There's owls...

Old school:

Minerva

Nellie
"Bright eyed and bushy tailed, Nellie can't wait to adorn your den or breakfast nook. In fact she's green with envy to think you might choose something else to accent your home"

Sophia

Doc
"Meet Doc. This dandy young man is flapping his wings so you'll appreciate his handsome knots. But, he doesn't really give a hoot what colours you make him in because he'll look dashing in any shade you choose. So why not invite this young man into your 'nest' He'll make a fine-feathered friend. And, besides, who could resist those striking tail feathers and those big brown eyes?"

Seriously?
Sounds like a personal ad - and no I didn't write it, although I almost wish I did. I'm not responsible for their names either btw.*

and there's owls...

Pippa's cool

Spring

Which cool do you prefer?

I'd choose one of Pippa's gorgeous creations any day of the week - she does need to work on her blurbs though (ha-ha!)

*Minerva, Nellie, Sophia and Doc come to you courtesy of a selection of vintage macrame patterns I found in the oppy the other day. If you see any yourself buy them, those things are hilarious. And the people who made them? I'm talking the stuff of your Freaky Friday  dreams  nightmares Donna! One bloke is called Milt!

  4. I used to have an orange macrame owl. Not sure what happened to it. I'd love one of Pippa's. Maybe a few more posts like this and I'll commission her to make me a replacement! I would love one ...

  7. Doc is brilliant, I want him! My mum used to have one pretty similar to Nellie as I remember.

  8. I love Pippa's new Spring. Maybe she would like to play with Sophia. I think Doc is a little nerdy with his glasses (I say as I sit here with mine on)...LOL

  9. I'm a bit taken with that last one. Are there instructions? Are you going to have a crack at one?
    We had a very hip teacher in primary school who taught us macramé owls for art. His name may have been Milt!

  10. Oh my! I remember making owls like these at school. I think they were mother's day gifts.

  11. I found one in the op shop for the Mr last year, it was on his wish list (don't ask me why, maybe to keep his clowns company)...now for a set of huge wooden fork and spoons!
