Life is wonderful

I must admit that I am totally spoilt in so many ways, being able to craft in lots of beautiful locations around Australia as I do.

My husband and I have reached a stage in life when we can take off to warmer climes for winter in our motorhome, which Rob converted from a small bus specifically so we can live in it off the grid and fully self contained. we named the motorhome Robbiebago II. You can follow our journeys on a separate blog of the same name here.

It is this life on the road that has prompted me to look for a craft I can easily source materials along the way, it doesn't require lots of space or weight and that there be aspects at least that can be done whilst Rob is driving esp on the long road trips. (Australia is such a big country, almost as big as the USA and it surpasses all of Europe.)

Europe fits in Australia with lots of room to spare.   On this trip we've only gone north as far as Gladstone which is a good 18 hours non stop driving.  We've taken a leisurely few months to get there.

The fact that I can use the sales of my sock creations to support Without a Ribbon is also very important to me. WaR is an Australian charity set up to support people who have been diagnosed with rare cancers of which I am one myself. Rather than count the days I have left, I can be proactive.

Sure there are some days that are not as great as others but the vast majority of them are great and these is what I focus on. Now that we know my husband also has a degenerative lung disease just makes our time together ever so much more precious especially while we can still both travel.

So lets leave all that extraneous drivel and get on with showing you my latest sock creations.
Many of them are still available for sale as I have not been attending any markets this trip other than from the other side as a browser and buyer! LOL

Whoo goes there?

Owls can be so adorable that I have made some sock owls just for you. I would love you to meet these wonderful creatures. Did you know that a group of owls is called a parliament? Well wouldn't you much rather vote for these guys than the fellas in Canberra. I know I would have more faith in these cute owls!

They are left to right: Cassy, Blue Wing, Soldat, BooBoo (Sold)  and Amore. They are available right now for just $10 plus postage.

FOR SALE  & PAYMENT

All of these owls are available for $10 each plus postage (capped at $8 within Australia).

I have decided not to have a online shop such as Etsy at this stage mainly reduce stress due to my own health (a rare cancer). For this same reason I rarely take commissions though I am always open to suggestions.

Paypal is my preferred payment option which protects both of us! You can contact me via Facebook or email if you have any questions.

LETS MEET THE OWLS

Cassy the apricot coloured owl is the largest owl at around 10cm tall. She has gorgeous green button eyes and a little flower on her head.

Cassy

Blue Wing is roughly 9.5cm tall and he has lovely lime green stripes with slightly darker green eye pads surrounding his lovely red button eyes.

Blue Wing

Ollie is the second smallest owl here. He is just 8.5cm approx.
I just love his flower button eyes.

Ollie Owl

Say hi to tiny 8cm tall Soldat. What he lacks for in size he makes up for in big hearted-ness. (By the way, Soldat means soldier due to the pattern on his chest!).
