Wise things are about!!

The generally used name for a group of Owls is a 'Parliament'.

Did you know that ?

I have , however, come across other collective nouns for these beautiful birds... for instance..

A 'Stare' of Owls

Or in today's case of owl crafting...

A 'Mess' of Owls!

A 'Mistake' of Owls!

Or how about this..

A Vintage of Owls ..pronounce it 'vintahhhge' and it sounds quite posh!

What I'd really love to know is this:

Has anyone ever actually seen a group of Owls ?

I mean... they don't hang about in groups in the area where I live..so I just wondered!

Apart from in the craft room, that is!

'Parliaments', 'Stares' , call them what you will, this funny group of six, somehow made it on to my workdesk, earlier today.

I wanted to use up some vintage scraps but the only problem was that I had run out of larger pieces of coloured felt...only black remaining!

Hmmmm! I was not sure but, 'Sally forth', I said to myself! ;-)

(Do you talk to yourself when you are alone? Well I do...and frequently, I answer myself back...and even more frequently, I tell myself off!!)

In actual fact, they didn't look too bad on the black felt...although they did look a tad confused!
At this point so was I!!

(Now this is where the primary school teacher in me, comes out!!)

What a shame that there isn't a call for 'Craft Tuition' as there is for English Tuition!!

Ooohh imagine if there was!!

I could craft all day ...and in the evenings too ;-)

I've yet to finish this good looking bunch...lots of 'tittivating' must be done!

Oh and I forgot to say..they are actually little cases for scissors...or you could use them for combs or for whatever you fancy!

Twit twoo!
