and I even sewed--
now isn't that nice!!!
I made up these two---
they are all done in wool--except the wings and heart!!!
this pattern is by Bunny Hill and is called "Bitty Owl"--
I have had this pattern for a couple years--just waiting it's turn--
and as this is wool month--they got a turn--
decided to do '2'--one for me and one for ???????
I do need to glue the owl to the base yet--
but I don't have a glue gun right now--
it's on the shopping list!!!!!
I also got my wool thread all organized in a basket by colors--
and started on stitching words in on a wool hanging that I have had prepped since last March!!!
so I am movin right along here!!!
though I do need to take some time and take down and put away Christmas!!!!
I also worked on an item on my bucket list!!!
for a couple years I have said that I was going to learn to---
I have never been in the habit of this 'drink'--
my 'drink' has always pretty much been 'tea'--
and when years ago I did drink coffee for awhile--
I had to have cream and sugar--
but I do so love the smell of coffee--
Especially flavored coffee!!
So I did start today--they have a social hour down in the community room on Saturdays at 2 pm--
( that lasts about 20 minutes--funny really!!!)
went down there today as I realized that I could get a small amount to drink and not waste any--
they do make theirs strong though---
so if I am going to be a coffee drinker --
I will need--
coffee maker--
coffee grinder--
all kinds of flavored beans!!!!!
So--
what is your favorite brand and flavor???????
Do you think that maybe I am toooo old to learn to drink coffee?????

Cute owls! and I'm with you on the coffee. I can't stand the taste, but I love the smell. Hope you find something good.
Your owls are darling!!!!
I'm a cheater coffee drinker..milk and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
You have a great sunday, too!!!
:)Carolyn
Your owls are really cute! Still no wool kits from that mailman, but it can't be too much longer can it???
Starbucks Komodo Dragon is my favorite--straight up black. Although a nice Iced Caramel Latte works too.
L,A-
Hi Di. Your owls are adorable. I love the smell of coffee, too, but I don't like the taste of it. However, I do drink lots of it so I water it down some and then add cream. My husband says I am just drinking flavored water, but it is still very good. We like just plain ole Maxwell House.
I took all of my Christmas decorations down last weekend and got everything straighted up. Why is putting the tree back in its box a lot like trying to put a square peg into a round hole? I hope you have a good night.
Great owls; will be my bird for the comming year ,I think ! Great challenge, looking forward to start by the end of January :-)
Awww! Love the owls! They are just so cute!!!
I drink coffee, but I doubt it will help if I tell you the brand :-) I will give you a warning though! I always drank tea, milk no sugar. When I moved to Norway, I was always offered coffee, so in the end I gave it a try. Plain, black coffee for me, BUT after drinking coffee for a while I stopped drinking tea.! I do have a cuppa now and then, but no milk, sugar, anything. It's just not the same anymore. :-(
Christmas decorations packed, I hope DH will put the boxes up the loft before the snow melts ... :-)
I'm in the sewing room.... but not sewing :) The owls are very cute! And I am the same as you with coffee - love the smell, but never really learned to drink it.. I am thinking maybe I shouldn't learn?! Keep me posted on your attempts and let me know if it is worth trying! lv, Joy xxx
Your little owls are so cute. It's funny, my husband and I used to drink coffee in the morning and then one day we switched to tea and it's been tea ever since. However, when we are out, we drink coffee. Personally, I don't like strong coffee.
Very cute little owls!!!!
I've never been much of a coffee drinker, but I do have one midmorning on my work days, otherwise I don't bother.
I generally have a black coffee with just the smallest bit of milk.
I don't like hot milky drinks (I also have my tea black) definitely don't like sugar either! I have however tried coffee with a vanilla flavour, I liked that! also hazelnut...hmmm....not bad!! I figure you are never too old to try anything and if you love the smell and flavour why not.... oh! BTW instant coffee would not touch my lips LOL!!!!!!
