baby birds in a nest

I made this last night.  It was a good way to use up all those torn strips of fabric leftover from making wings and it was fun to imagine the lives of these little fabric nestlings. It is now up in my shop. 

The chickens had to be picked up (by Charlie) and deposited in the enclosed portion of their roost last night at dusk because they didn't seem to know where to go.  Now they've figured it out and go in and out on their own. 

Roxanne drew a this picture in her chicken journal of the delivery. I love the comb and wattle.

And back to the make-along, Charlie pointed out to me that in the book Eric Carle's Animals Animals there is an illustration of an Emily Dickinson poem about a bee.  I thought I'd show it here in case it might inspire you as you work on your own project.

    They’re charming!
    (I’m working on my make-along. Promise!)
    That poem reminds me of one about summer by e.e. cummings. I’ll have to find it for you later.
