Which is exactly why, when Lisa posted her reminder on Facebook, The first word that came to mind was 'well'.
The second word was 'SHIT !'
Needless to say, I had nothing done and about six hours to do something. For someone who is usually done a week in advance, this was a little terrifying. I also got red beads, and red is not a color I use often.
Well.
I think I managed to do justice to Shelley's adorable little owl.
I seem to be in a tassel mood lately...
Enjoy, and please visit everyone else, too !
