Hello Again, Just stopping by to let you know more of what I have been up to. Ailsa hasn't been too well so we haven't been able to get out, but I didnt just sit there twiddling my feathers I spent the day crafting!
Audreys friend has a Brownie Troop and they have asked Audrey to make little material bags and tie wraps for them to fill for mothers day, with what they call a little anti stress kit, although, I cant work out why mothers would need an anti stress kit, surely having children is just so much fun 
First Audrey let me cut up the ribbon to make the bags, I got a bit tangled up in it but after a while I got into the swing of things and in no time at all I had my bundle of ribbon ready to sew.
I was allowed to use the sewing machine as well but I was warned to keep my beak away from the needle, I wasnt too keen on this bit, I kept thinking that I was going to end up with a little bag stuck to the end of my beak, well I suppose you could have just filled the bag up with my food and I wouldn't have to bend down to eat, but the other Emus might have laughed at me, so I let Audrey finish the rest.
After all the bags were done I cut up the wire to make the tie wraps, this was a bit tricky too, because the wire was really springy and kept jumping away from me
The last thing I had to do was count the beads that I needed and then twist them into the wire, this bit was funny because the beads kept rolling away and Audrey and Ailsa were crawling around the floor picking them up again - I must admit to being slightly naughty at this point, because I kept pushing the beads off the table just so that I could laugh at everyone crawling on the floor, but dont tell anyone I dont think they noticed 
We have made 25 little bags, and the Brownies only need 24 so Audrey said that I can fill up a little bag and send it home to you.
Sending lots of love and hugs back home, I miss you lots but will update you again soon
