Hellooo-hoo fellow Brown Owlies!
You know, here in Canberra we had our VERY FIRST Brown Owls meet up yesterday!!!
It was rainy, so we sat inside - it was very cosy!! It was so so busy, but luckily we had our mascot so everyone could find us!

(ooh look - it's Pip and the girls in Frankie mag!)Our very own Bec has been the Canberra contact for the
Blankets of Friendship project - collecting 12" knit and crochet squares to sew into blankets for Victoria's bushfire survivors, so she brought along a few bags of squares and crochet queen Michelle showed us how to join them up!

Busy little owls!!!
We also collected some lovely things to send to Melbourne to help
re-stash some crafters!
Thanks girls for an excellent afternoon!
We're already looking forward to and planning for our next meet-up!
And we can't wait to see how much fun the other Brown Owl groups have at their meetings too!
