Bee Happy Because of Beautiful Birds

Design - "Bee Happy or Bee Quiet"
Designer - Amy Bruecken Designs
Fabric - 30 count WDW Straw linen
Fibers - GAST & WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 10 June 2016
Completed - 25 June 2016

I changed this design a bit.  I omitted the section that said 'Or Bee Quiet"
and brought up the bottom border. As Krayola Kris noted these are wingless bees. I figure maybe they are big fat bees with their wings tucked in. 

I have lots of reasons to "Bee Happy".  Let me share some with you.

Lots and lots of reasons to be happy and sing a glad song!

  2. I loved seeing your Bullock's Oriole...never saw one before and it is so much fun to spy a new bird. Yes, babies are so cute in all their many forms. Loved your photos as always.

  4. Oh man!! A male Western Tanager--awesome!! Saw a couple of Summer Tanagers last time I went out a few weeks back... that was great, but no pictures. The baby Quail is absolutely adorable!1 Looks like it is on the concrete but unsure about it... You have such a great variety of birds on your property...thanks as always for sharing!

  6. I would 'bee' very happy indeed if I could see half of those beautiful birds in my backyard. I'm going to have to work to see Oregon birds since we live in the City now.
