feathered friends

I think I have a new obsession...
The robin perched on my sewing machine is tweeting happily to the oriole below.

These little creatures were very easy to make. I found the free pattern here, http://www.spoolsewing.com/blog/2008/05/16/bird-mobile/
It's just two pattern pieces and they go together very well. Great for using up scraps from your ragbag which for me at least, is overflowing. The only tough part was turning and stuffing since everything must pass through the narrow part of the tail. I found the best took for the stuffing job was the end of a wooden spoon.
I have a ton of ideas for this to try out, a few more in actual bird colors and then I am going to make some crazy stuff! I will keep you posted.
