Awash in Stitches and Finches


Look at the goodies that arrived in the mail!
A veritable sea of stitching. Rabbits, and bees, and Christmas, and snowmen, and owls and new DMC colors too. Fun stuff for the rest of the year.

I've been awash in finches. 

The House Finches have been congregating at the birdbath...

..and the fountain.  Sometimes the confabs turn quarrelsome.

The same goes with the Evening Grosbeaks. 

The tend to arrive in large groups.

There are six guys and five gals awaiting a turn at the feeders.

Here's a close-up of three ladies.

Now the Black-headed Grosbeak can have his turn at the fountain.
I've seen three guys in the area.

And a couple of Black-headed Grosbeak gals.

  1. I like your choices, especially the Homespun Elegance chart. The grosbeaks are very distinctive birds.

    As for your new stash - love it all! But you are such a speedy stitcher, I think you'll have them all stitched long before this year is over :-)! It will be lots of fun to see them come to life.

  9. These birds are wonderful! Are the grosbeaks grosbeaks because of the shape of their beaks? Great new stash!
