Pink Bird

January 28, 2009

My sewing machine is fixed and back home where it belongs.  And it works so well now!  Wow. Smooth operating.  I hadn't even realized that it needed to be cleaned and oiled.

Last night Charlie was out late at a meeting and I made this bird.

I have been using the same color palette of yellows and browns and blacks for so many months now. I was inspired to make a little pink Valentine's bird.  I think she'd look lovely in a nursery or little girl's room.

She is up in my shop now.

We are snowed in again today.  We made Rice Krispie treats this morning.  Yum.

    So glad you have your sewing machine back! I think your little bird is a delightfully curious creature.
