The Big 5-0

My husband’s friend is turning 50 today and his wife has whipped up a little surprise party for him.  The party is at a lake so we’ll see if my children are interested in swimming/playing in water they can’t see through.  (My daughter’s first response was “Are you serious?” lol)

Look Who’s Turning 50

I love Kim’s owl for birthday cards.  I paper-pieced (and popped up) the poof on the hat, and paper-pieced the larger dots on the hat.  I tried coloring them but wasn’t satisfied with the color so my sure-fire way to get a match to the paper is to use the paper. 🙂
