"may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living" - e.e. cummings.
So as I mentioned yesterday, while Satch was napping I sewed a dozen of these birdies to put on our Xmas tree. I should also tell you that because I'm not very good at sewing, Satch thought my first bird was a dolphin. I don't know what I did wrong, but the first one I made out of vintage bark cloth scraps which was a bit heavy. The rest of the flock I made from scraps of vintage hankies that I had laying around. Still, when Robert came home yesterday he said, "What's with all the fish?".
Here's the free pattern!
Satchel's friend R is celebrating her 3rd birthday so I'm going to try to make her this bird mobile. Satch has declared that he wants one too, so I better get to work.
See you Monday!

I love the birds and I can totally relate to your sewing adventures (I too am terrible; in fact, sadly I just sold my sewing machine =(.
On another note, I just gave you an award on my blog. Head on over to take a peak! =)
i humbly thank you
I want to make some of those out of old kids' clothes.
I'vve got the striped pajamas sitting right here... no, I'm sitting on them.
What do you think about a red, gray, navy and white striped birds? Verticle, horizontal? Both? Diagonal?
Hm.
you are freakin' amazing and inspiring, as always. hope you're on the mend.
(still fondling that package, btw :)
