Brown Owls Perth (Bayswater) 2013 Update

Firstly, sorry for not regularly updating you all on what has been happening in WA!  It is tricky to make sure every information source is updated properly for each so I thought I would do one big post on our group for 2013 nice and early...

Anyone who is interested in coming along to our Perth-based group might like to join our Facebook group .  We have found the events calendar on here very useful and its also a handy space to ask questions and show-off what you might be working on!

We are also on Instagram - #brownowlsperth

BROWN OWLS PERTH FAQs

Venue

Meeting Room at the Bayswater Family Centre - corner of Murray and Crowther streets, Bayswater.  This facility is used by other hirers too but we always stick a sign on the door for the meeting room!

Dates

Our meetings are always held on the third Sunday of each month.  Dates for up-coming meetings are:

20 January 2013

17 February 2013

17 March 2013

21 April 2013

19 May 2013

16 June 2013

21 July 2013

18 August 2013

15 September 2013

20 October 2013

17 November 2013

15 December 2013

Time

Meetings start at 2pm and finish at about 4pm.

Format

We are a pretty casual group and mostly we run BYO craft meetings.  Most people coming along find it easier to just bring something they're working on - it also gives people a chance to work on slow-burn projects that they wouldn't normally get to at home! We have knitters, crocheters, embroiders, cross-stitchers, hand quilters and we get a fair bit of paper-based crafts too.

Every now and then we will have someone from the group run a small workshop on something that they're particularly good at.  We have had crochet, knitting, pattern-making and mosaic meetings before - but those meetings are quite flexible in that there are often people working on their own things as well.

Cost

We don't have a membership fee but we do ask for a gold coin donation to help with venue hire.

Anything else I should bring?

Sometimes members will bring a plate or packet of something yummy to share but there is no obligation or scheduled food roster.  Everybody leads busy lives and we don't want to add another commitment.  If you would like to bring something along it will be welcomed but if not, no matter!

Do I need to tell anyone I am coming?

Nope!  You can just turn-up.  If you want to check-in or have questions, feel free to email - shodgson(at)westnet(dot)com(dot)au or silverthreadsofhappiness(at)gmail(dot)com

Perth Owls do the Granny...

well almost. Since the Brisbane Owls did the Granny last month, Perth Owls decided to join in the fun. Thanks to Miss Craftapalooza for being so patient with some of us. She is a lefty and had to teach us righties how to crochet. It was not easy but she did it.

There are not many pictures because we were having so much fun laughing and talking that I forgot to take photos.



See that blue wonky Granny? That's mine. I am please to say that when I came home, I tried it out again and I did manage to do a Granny. Yippie.

Keep an eye out for a call for the next meeting on the 30th May 2009. We are going to learn how to Screen Print with one of the talented Owls. So stay tune.

xx,
Twittering Owl (Feli)
