While this pattern required lots of color changes - a little light green, then a small dark green letter, then more light green - it was a fun stitch. The designer included a micro pattern of cabbages, and I added that to the bottom of my bunny.
I had the perfect dark green Pine Mountain pillow insert at hand.
The bird and the bunny garden ornaments approved!
Look who's returned! The upper left is a male American Goldfinch. The bottom right is a male Lesser Goldfinch.
First it was just a single bird.
Then two, now there are six or more.
It was also beyond exciting to see a rare visitor - a Black Phoebe.
These guys usually hang out by water - streams and ponds. But every once in a while one briefly graces the backyard.
Your bunny stitch is darling, Beth. How fun to have a Black Phoebe visit the backyard.
ReplyDeleteHi, I found your blog when I searched for cross stitch. I am really enjoying it because my Son is a birder and we love seeing what birds are near you. We live in Virginia. I gather you are on the west coast. Washington, Oregon or California?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to more posts.
A black Phoebe, now that is a new bird for me. I had not even heard of them! The gold finches are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeth: Your bunny pillow is adorable, the garden friend looks happy to have him sitting in the garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finch's they will arrive in Minnesota around the first of May.
