Stitching Sundays 26

One of my lovely blog followers, Anne, suggested I should make some bird decorations in Spring colours and I thought this was a great idea.  Although I have lots of Easter decorations, I don't have that many Spring ones.  So, before I move on to my next project (and I haven't yet decided what that will be), I thought I would make three more birds in Spring-like colours.
Here they are, two done and one left to make.  They do seem to look very different from the Winter ones, even though it is the same pattern and the same embroidery shape (give or take a bit of human error). It's all down to the choice of colours. So, just the yellow one to finish and on to the next project...

    1. Thanks, Joy. I must make some more felt - my stocks are getting a bit low now. I really enjoy it once I get on with it and I like turning it into things like these little birds too.

    1. Thanks, Chrissie. I have really enjoyed making them and could quite happily make lots more, but I am feeling that I need to start another project. Still not sure what, but perhaps a Spring tree embroidery decoration...?
