Birds...lots of birds

I saw this as I was getting off the interstate by my apartment after yoga.



Crafty weekend: Finished bird project and paper flowers

I finished the bird project! It's pretty cute. I had some issues hanging it since I didn't think out the logistics of hanging something that is top heavy. But as long as no one breaths on it, it should hold the proper position. (The bird patterns and idea came from Spool Sewing.)

Since I had a few extra birds, I added this guy to the mix.

I also created what I like to call the wave of happy flowers. (Don't mind the crafty clutter and the prehistoric ironing board.) I'm not 100% on the design, but it works for now. Yellow flowers make me happy.

Super successful crafty weekend. I guess that's what you get when you take Friday off and watch daytime television while getting your crafty butt in gear. (Sidenote: the Regis and Kelly Halloween show was HILARIOUS!)

Adventures in sewing: The birds are DONE

The birds are done! The birds are done!

I still don't have the rest of the supplies I need to complete the whole bird project that's in my head, but I have 10 complete birds. Go me! (Some of them need a little cosmetic surgery, but I'll get around to that, or I'll just accept them as imperfect and be happy with that - I'm thinking option two.)

Free bird necklace

My present to myself arrived the other day! It's a birdcage necklace that I ordered from a designer in Ireland. I love it!

Birds flying free and birdcages are my current life theme. I recommend life themes to everyone. My last (and still applicable) theme was/is the lotus flower.
