Feathered Friends


A few feathered smiles for today!



I love this little chicks tatty tail.  I can imagine it was packed in the nest and the long tail feathers got in the way a bit!!


And our handsome robin...

Two smiles for your Friday - Linking up at Friday Smiles :)

    Great photos...we have had unusual birds around this year. Our robins are not that vivid color and much longer. This little guy is cute !! Have a lovely weekend.

    You take the BEST nature photos of anyone I know. Your birds are wonderful, and I like how you explain about the poor chick's tail feathers. Your robin is definitely handsome, too. Thanks for sharing these because I always LOVE your photos.

    Hi Laura, lovely photos ... this is a wonderful time of the year for the birds. We have two nests in our roof and I could waste hours just watching the fledglings leading their parents a merry dance with their demanding calls for more food. Your robin is gorgeous. Elizabeth xx

    Oh how wonderful. We're having lots of fledglings arrive live in our garden but we've also had some murders too. It's the tough part of nature I suppose.
    I think the robin might be my favourite bird, but then it would be like trying to choose a favourite child..it just can't be done!
    Enjoy your Sunday and congratulations on such fabulous photos.

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   At each stop on the hop there'll be a word to collect and a candy draw. I've got these

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead up in the corresponding g
