Blanket Progress Check Two!

...Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.


That's not very many squares is it?
 I have been rather busy, sorting out life type things, but really now! I have been sewing a slightly ambitious and ill advised skirt project however, and have a big pile of sewing to get through in addition to this so I'm dividing my time a bit more. Still need to block these lot first!

Information on each square is below!

Owl of the Month #1 (July 2015)

So I thought this would be fun to do, possibly more for me than for you I’m afraid, but I wanted to
introduce my owls! So here’s the first fine feathered friend for you to meet.


15cm tall china owl


This was bought from Emmaus in Gloucester, after I had a blood test for my nut allergy. This was a couple of years ago, when the owl collection regained momentum.
I like that it's very simple, down the middle, plain, realistic owl. Sometimes the ones you see about are a bit weird looking and I don't really like them. 

I don't know what kind of owl it is, but I'd guess at great horned owl I suppose? If anyone knows about owl please add your thoughts!

See you this time next month for the next owl!
