Hi Sandra
Your drawing is probaly the Orion constelation. The three larger stars in a row are Orion's belt and the three smaller diagonal ones are his sword (all upside down to us in the southern hemisphere). It is probably the most easily recognized star formation along with the Southern Cross.

The centre "star" of the three (circled) of the sword is the M42 nebula. Through a telescope this will resolve into seven bright new stars. four in the shape of a trapezium and called The Trapezium with the other three in a line pointing towards it.

Just bellow Orion would have been Aldebaran

To the lower west of the this constellation you may have seen another fuzzy starcluster/nebula. This would have probably been the Plaides ,M45 or the 7 sisters a lovely open cluster with lots of nebulosity.

All these are well visible to the naked eye and will look spectacular even through a pair of binoculars.

The picture is a screen capture at about 7 PM tonight from Stellarium you should be able to recognise what you saw from this.
