You know, just messin' around with yarn and hook, trying to ease out yet another idea from the Tangle that sits within my Creative Mind.
Tis mighty crowded within my Creative Mind.
So much going on up there!
So many ideas!
So many projects desperate to see the light of day!
Today I just HAD to make this, just had to.
Had to see if the idea in my mind could come out into the world and work out.
I had a little go at it yesterday, but as yesterday was a rather fluffy-muddled day, it all went a bit pear shaped.
But today :: less fluff and less muddle and hoooo-haaaaa, we made progress!!!!
It's been a great feeling!
So in case you are wondering just what that strange flat round thing is trying to become, let me show you how it looks when it's folded in half.............
Does it look kind of Bird-ish to you??Sort of??
Yes I think it does look like a cute little hooky Birdy!
Just need to stuff it a little and stitch it up...add a little hanging device....
....and ta-dah!!!!
I confess :: I am rather happy with it.However, this is just a practice run really (yes, there will be more Birdies hatching out in the Attic very soon)
I might add a few beads to the hanging chain, and possibly do a little embellishing on the wings....but overall, I think the concept works.
I'm also thinking :: stuff a little dried lavender inside and these Birdies will make very acceptable Christmas presents.
You have no idea how unusual it is for me to be considering Christmas presents in October.
It has never happened before.
Not ever.
Quite exciting really!

ps appologies for the poor quality of the photos today, the weather/light levels here in my patch are very dismal indeed. In normal circumstances I would have waited till another day to share this with you, a bright day for taking bright photos. But damn-it I could NOT wait a moment longer!!!!xx
I am a new crocheter. I just stumbled upon your blog. I am totally in love with everything you make!

I love all of your projects! So full of life and light! I would like to try to try to translate your lovely birdies into felt with your permission. I'll be leading a group of ladies in February and these birdies would be a great activity for them. Thanks for all you do!

I keep coming back and looking at him. I think he is so darn cute. I love it. Previous writer was correct, I see these on Christmas trees. I love how you have him hanging on a knob. So cheerful.

True, it really was fun watching the bird come to life especially as I first thought : what is she doing now? Oh and I love that cushion of yours - I really do!
