Humming Along

Once upon a time I used to stitch big designs!  

Make that big and bright designs. 


Design - "Merry and Bright Santa"
Designer - Sisters and Best Friends
Fabric - 28 count 18th Century R & R linen
Fibers -DMC
Started - 13 December 1998
Completed - 28 February 1999

If there is a hint of daylight in the morning, there are Anna's Hummingbirds out and about.

Yet another bird.

I think this might be an immature male - lots of throat color.

A nice healthy bird.

I'll try to do another hummer census tomorrow.

I really enjoy your pictures of birds and wildlife. They are stunning! I just stumbled upon your blog today. Where do you live that you're blessed to see and take pictures of these lovelies? I enjoy seeing your stitching projects as well. What's the finished size of this one? Just curious how "big" and bright it is 😉. I love that you've documented the start and finish dates too. I always say that I'm gonna do that but never have yet. I'm genuinely gonna do that for my next project and I'll have you to thank for doing so. Thanks so much for sharing, be 🙏🏼 blessed and stay 😷 safe.
