In the meantime just to keep the blog ticking over something creative. A few months back I mentioned that I was stitching a secret project, a present for a lovely blogging friend of mine in Australia. Well the present has now been received so I know I'm safe to share my pictures without spoiling the surprise.
I made a string of colourful crows using some pieces of felt and lots of odds and ends from the scrap basket. They're based on a project by Kelli Perkins which featured in either Quilting Arts or Cloth Paper Scissors a while back (I'll try and get proper reference when I get home).
They were so much fun to make. 
They all emerged with their own little characters. 
There was nothing really planned about their making, it was just a case of reach in to the scrap basket and make use of whatever was pulled out. 
It really is a lot of fun creating in this way, just trying to make use of bits and pieces that come to hand. 
I think they make a cute little decoration all strung together hanging on the wall. 
I have an Aunt who loves owls who has a birthday coming up at the end of the month, so I might try and adapt the idea and make some hanging owls, we'll see what time allows.

They are absolutely delightful and I agree with you that they look great strung together.
First, I absolutely LOVE crows and this is the coolest murder of crows ever!
They are SO great!! They are hanging proudly in my Lounge Room Angela. :-) Thanks again.
Thanks for your visit and for commenting. Just been looking through your blog. Your tiger project is enormous and you deserve a break after all that work! But these are gorgeous. Having just read Vi's comment, I can see they were well received. A beautiful present!
Janice.
