Small Motifs

Hi all! Or should I say Ya'll since I am southern. I've been working on some small motifs in different colors trying to decide which one I want to put on this pencil case I just got. It's perfect for carrying tatting supplies. It's made of a soft vinyl not hard plastic. I don't have any pictures yet as it is a work in progress and to tell the truth I haven't had time to take any pictures. I will soon though. Then the next thing will be to figure out how to attach the motif to the pencil case. Sewing it on probably will not work so it will probably be glued on and I'm stumped as to what glue to use. I'll have to research a little on that. That's all for now.

I have loads of blueberries and loads of birds getting a free feast which I am not at all happy about since I want my blueberries for myself. My husband put out a plastic owl to scare the birds. I told my husband that owl is not doing a thing to which he replied he's plastic give him a break and then proceeded to sing "if I only had a brain". Speaking of owls, I found this little clip that is too funny! Apparently it was made by a teacher to get his 5th grade class interested in owls. Take a look! It's a real Hoot! (Really bad pun, I know but couldn't resist).

I wonder if that's the same plastic pencial case I found recently? It's thin hard plastic with a little snap fastener on the front corner. when you unsnap it, you can slide out the inner box. I'm getting ready to decorate one and will show it when I'm done.

It doesn't sound like it since mine is not hard and has a zipper. Yours sounds great though! I'm always on the look out for a potential tatting carrier/holder. LOL

That video is HILARIOUS!
I'll have to show it to my kids!

We're planting blueberry bushes this fall. Sorry to hear the owl wasn't helping, but your hubby sounds like fun!
My parents had one of those plastic owls at their beach cottage, and birds would come and perch on its head!

Thanks for your concern, Tara, about Ben. He is recovering fine, and even was proud to show off his stitches at church this morning!
A hug for you!
