I've been absent from this space while (among many other things) I really, truly get the basement ready for the contractors. They are coming on Monday and I am both anxious to finish clearing the room but am also excited to begin moving forward to have a space to claim as my own.
I still manage to do handwork in my quiet moments. I made more birds.
These two are such characters.
Out of hemp cord I crocheted little nests...each one holds a tiny needle-felted egg.
One went to Morgan who sent me this delightful needle-felted owl that came with his own little birch wood perch.
The other went to Alison of Rumpelfeltskin, who sent me this lovely wool felt bird with heart shaped wings. Just look at how perfect her stitches are...and I love the cinnamon stick branch.
These were all made for Margaret's bird swap that she organized last month. More birds here.
Back to the basement...wish me luck.
