My Creative Space

Sometimes plans don't work out like you planned. Tonight was originally planned as a Brown Owls movie night but Mum had been offered free tickets to a show for the Adelaide Festival. A tough choice between Owls and the theatre but I decided I'd go to the theatre.

At 6pm though plans changed again, we were unable to get the tickets and it was too late to make it to the Owls meet so Mum and I found we had a free night to spend together.

We spent the evening learning how to make Kanzashi flowers from Kanzashi in Bloom and watching Handmade Nation.

Here is the brooch I madeNot too bad for a first attempt and I'm hoping to do a Brown Owls workshop on them in April.

Sometimes plans don't work out liked you planned but it's those times are sometimes the most fun! This time it was great - I found time to be a bit creative!
