For My Flamingo Loving Sister

My sister  💕💕💕💕💕 flamingos.  She even takes a couple  of those plastic ones with her on vacations to stick out at her campsite.  On her birthday last year she received a pink bicycle that her friends had rigged up with a flamingo head at the handle bars and flamingo body on each side of the curve down from the handle bars. (I'm not describing it very well but it's hilarious especially with her on it with a flamingo hat on her head. )   So, I made her a couple of flamingo pillowcases for Christmas.   I'm not so sure my brother-in-law will enjoy laying his head on a flock of flamingos but he usually goes along with my sister's whims without complaint. 

And  these pillowcases were goal  #20

I also embroidered a couple of flamingos on a flour sack dishtowel and crocheted a scrubbie and dishcloth to go with it. 

Now I can cross flamingo-lovin' Deb off my Christmas to-do list. 

I Went to a Bridal Shower

My nephew is getting married in September. There was a bridal shower last Saturday for his fiance who evidently likes birds.  So, I made a couple of potholders with owl fabric I had on hand,  gathered up one of my previously embroidered owl dishtowels and a crocheted dishcloth as well as a couple of owl mugs, owl salt and pepper shakers...

... and added some kitchen utensils like a whisk, serving spoons, spatulas, bag clips, measuring spoons, etc. and put them in a basket as a gift.
