Oh to Be Outside Now That April's Here

Design - "Happy St. Patty's"
Chart - "Little Cuties" Volume One
Designer - Val's Stuff  
Fabric - 30 count WDW Beige linen
Fibers - WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 29 March 2016
Completed - 31 March 2016

I managed to work in one more St' Patrick's Day stitch.  The "Little Cuties" chart has four designs - a snowman, Valentines, Easter, and this one.  I've stitched all four of the designs - so good value for the chart purchased.

On yesterday's post I neglected to set up the link for the Easter freebie from Le Chalet des Perelles. So here it is

I so enjoying watching and listening to the swallows.

Tree Swallows

Violet-green Swallows

Most mornings several Robins sing merrily.

While the Steller's Jays caw and croak.

Here's a handsome male House Finch.

This Robin got photo bombed by a California Quail.

Here's a quail couple.

Golden-crowned Sparrow

My White-throated Sparrow has left to spend the summer north in Canada.  Please say hello if you see him.  Now I have several White-crowned Sparrows as my Summer Birds.

I think they are quite handsome.

And I have a pair of Bushtits eating suet with some regularity.

  1. That's a cute finish. With all the new finishes you've had this month (well, last month now), you'll definitely have an Irish header next March!
