The 16th Night Owls Biggest Morning Tea is over for another 2 years. Considerable preparation goes into this event involving Night Owlers organising, sewing, knitting, baking and working on the day. It also involved staff from the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club; Raine and Horne and friends of Night Owlers who all provided their work for free. Without all of the above the event would not be as popular or successful so a big thankyou.
Many thanks for the extreme generosity of all who attended and supported the event. So far Night Owls has raised over $100,000 for the Cancer Council. We hope everyone who attended enjoyed the morning. See photos here. Anne Hunt made this great 'soup bowl cozy' and showed it to her fellow Night Owl friends at our 13 March meeting. What a great idea. No more burning your fingers after microwaving leftover soup or hot soup straight from the stove. You might notice that it has corners that you can use to carry your bowl.
Credit for this ingenious pattern goes to the Crafwarehouse.com. Please find enclosed the link for all instructions. Anne advises to make sure you you carefully read the instructions concerning the use of cotton only to ensure microwave safety. https://craftwarehouse.com/sew-this-soup-bowl-cozy-free-pattern/ |
