woodpecker

February 5, 2009

DSC_0026

With spring on my mind I made a little woodpecker.

She is affixed to a little wooden plank. I drilled three small holes at the top, as though she has already begun her work.

She is now listed in my shop.  There are lots of birds available, and many with new lower prices.  I hope you'll have a quick visit.

Meanwhile it is 19 degrees here today. Not very spring-like at all.

My friend, Beth, came over yesterday with her new baby, David.  He is six weeks old. I got to hold him and carry him around and oh my gosh, I love little babies. They smell so good. And their needs are so simple.
