I made this little string of birds for a friend's birthday this week. I hadn't made anything crafty for a good long while and it was fun to get the fabric and thread out for a couple of hours of snipping and threading. I'd forgotten how absorbing it is to lose yourself in something like this. I used wool embroidery thread for the details and added a bit more colour than I would usually use, as my friend is a colourful person. I was pleased with the result and luckily, so was she.
Next week it's my own birthday and I'm planning a week away in a favourite part of the country. I'm going to take my camera and sketchbook and see what happens. Back soon.

Lovely little birds. I'm reminded of your stitching everyday as your little brown heart hangs in my hall! :)
Happy birthday and have a lovely break!

These are charming, just as Sue says.
Have a lovely holiday :)
They are simply lovely, I do like the colours and the use of wool in them. Good to see you making things again. Enjoy your artistic holiday and be inspired. x
The birdies are just lovely! They wear such a nice mood!
Have a fantastic week and a wonderful Birthday, Sue!xx By the way, mine is next week, too.:)))
Happy birthday holidays!
Sue, your embroidery gives those little birds lots of personality...I do like the looks of their profiles, too.
I am doing so much knitting now, but also daily have a lingering look at my sewing machine, just to let it know I haven't forgotten all about it! Lots of ideas, just trying to find more time.
A very Happy Birthday to you, dear Sue! Have fun on your time away in a beautiful setting.

Those are lovely, almost naive, I could happily live with those.
Those birds are really lovely! Have a good birthday! x
