Parramatta Brown Owls September Meet-up

It's almost the last Saturday of the month again? Then the Parramatta Brown Owls will be meeting!

11 am

Mars Hill Cafe

331 Church Street, Parramatta

We'll be upstairs as usual in their events room. Big plank floors, wood tables, and natural light streaming in through the windows. Bring your own craft!

And you can bring your kids if you want to. There's plenty of space for them to play, craft, and a game room full of board games as well.

Order food and drinks if you want downstairs and come on up. They'll bring it up to you. Mars Hill Cafe serves delicious drinks and breakfasts.

MITCHAM BROWN OWLS Make an Owl Afghan Square.

Hi there Owlies,

This month we are having a "Bring along your own work" group, and don't forget to bring along
any finished pieces to show off!

A very clever lady showed me a photo of an Owl granny square, so I'll bring the pattern for making them.

Southside Brown Owls - Thurs 12th September

Hello everyone!

Michelle here and it's time for September Brown Owls. How fast is this year moving along! 

Recently Shannon and I were approached by a charity to see whether the Southside ladies would want to help them make finger puppets. And we thought this was a great idea! Here is the google link to a whole bunch or patterns. 

So bring some felt, a needle and thread (and we'll have some in the studio as well for you to use) and let's make some puppets:) 

"Ardoch Youth Foundation in St Kilda runs ‘Play, Learn, Read’, a specialist

reading program for young children in disadvantaged areas of Melbourne. We

have a team of fantastic volunteers who read and play with the children in

kindergartens each week to help develop their reading and oral language. We

have a range of picture books and some general finger puppets but would

really like our volunteers to be able to use finger puppets that reflect

the animals in the stories they are reading with the children such as

Possum Magic and Wombat Stew."

Date: Thursday 12th September 2013

Time: 7:30pm onwards
