Birds . . .

One can always find peace with the birds.

I finished this one before

I went to the retreat

I always attend once a year in

Belton, Texas.

I have loved this pattern

from the time I saw it.

Couldn't wait to stitch it

and it was such fun!

I love these guys as I have always watched

birds where ever I am.

My oldest brother has land

and lots of birds that

share it with him, his wife,

two horses, three dogs, one cat

and 20 pair of hummingbirds every season.

He has two pairs of barn swallows that give

birth to at least three broods in

any given season

that roost on the front porch.

He has gotten books about them so

he can identify as many as possible

in this lifetime.

He has taken some awesome pictures.

Just today he told me he got a cam so he could

find out what is getting into the

bird seed.

It turns out it

is Raccoons!

Imagine!

Anywhoo, I did this piece and decided

I would add a button bird, he is the little

blue one

with the star on his belly,

completely forgetting I had

bought the worm that goes with

the pattern.

I had it all together

when I found the worm button.

Then I remembered I had bought

the worm button to go with the pattern.

So. . . I took it apart,

undid the whole piece, moved the

small bird, added the worm and

put it all back together again.

Yahoo!!! A finish!

God Bless you for stopping by to fly with my birds.
