20 Days Until Spring! (and a Flock of Bluebirds Has Arrived!
All week long I have taken all moments of free time to needle felt and replenish my Etsy shop with bluebirds!
 |
| My Bluebirds on Etsy: |
Then as I was browsing the craft store, I saw a package of alligator clips and thought maybe they would be good for the birds. Not sure which way is really better, but I went with the clips on this bunch. Which then created the need for feet...so I needle felted those.Prior to this flock, I had attached bendable wire feet that would allow the bird to perch on things. It was a four step process to make them: first, bend wire into shape, then cover with flexible glue, add flocking and paint. It would give the feet a textured look and allow for a little movement.
So after a whole week of bluebird....
......after bluebird....
................after bluebird.....
...I feel like needle felting some other type of critter. Perhaps a deer...or a skunk....or a bunny! :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...HAPPY FRIDAY!

I couldn't believe it when I was contacted with the awesome news that I won the giveaway from the charming blog called Thoroughly Modern Me.
In celebration of her first year of blogging, Tricia had her first giveaway and I was the lucky recipient of one of her vintage aprons from her Etsy store!
Please check out her adorable vintage inspired children's aprons. What a great gift idea, don't you think?
Instead of the usual toy that gets forgotten, why not an adorable apron!?

My Descent into Chicago
I was on a plane last Thursday, flying to Chicago, and obviously bored. What follows are the photos I took at different points in the trip. At times the clouds looked like solid landscapes, at other times the sky looked like an ocean complete with a shoreline. I also caught Chicago looking rather dreamlike, appearing through the clouds in a wispy, dreamlike castle.
