More July

The Show and Talk table was full of our felt creations -

Kerry wore her gorgeous "rose" scarf -

And brought in her "guardian angel" made from felt

using the pattern from this book

Val brought in her lovely monkey - he's so smartly dressed - where did he get those chic velvet trousers from??

Maureen made some felt slippers - just the thing to keep tootsies warm these cold winter nights -

And Penny wore this superior necklace that was inspired by one worn by the fabulous Ruth Watson from Country House Rescue -

Do you know that the collective term for a group of owls is a parliament of owls?

Is it because they are wise and wonderful?  Hmmmmm.  If the inspiration came from our Canberra parliament would the same noun be used or what would a more appropriate term be?  Answers on a postcard please.
