Owls! Day 3

Welcome to my new followers - Helen and Jules. Thank you for joining us and I hope that you will enjoy what you see. *Ü*

Today's post is all about 'Owls'. There is something about an owl 'hoot' that is comforting to me and yet they can give a weird sense of spookiness. When I was a child, there was a HUGE Oak tree in my front garden and almost every night, I could hear an owl hoot!

When my husband and I visited the Broadstairs Food Festival last Friday, there was a display of owls. I just had to hold one - for nostalgia sake. *Ü*

I am going to post a combination of food stuff and makes that I have come across regarding owls. One of my very favourite websites is Martha Stewart's. The link will take you to a list of owl inspired makes. She has everything covered on her website - all holidays, all seasons and everything inbetween. *Ü* So without further ado...first up...is a little owl treat box. Instructions found here.

These owl cookies are cute...photo but no recipe. It would be easy to make up a batch of shortbread and roll out for a similar look, using chocolate drops for eyes and slivers of almonds for the beaks. 

More cookies... recipe found here. They look very nice presented in little cellophane bags, tied with a ribbon.

Lastly... this is an owl template, which can be used as a paper piecing for a layout, card - or whatever takes your fancy. *Ü* Just right click on the image below and save it to your chosen folder.

Toot toot for now... have a great night... and listen out for an owl's hoot. *Ü*
