Toddler Woodpeckers

Design - "Honey Label"
Designer - Cedar Hills
Fabric - 28 count natural linen
Fibers - DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 9 June 2012
Completed - 9 June 2012

Isn't it interesting how different the same pattern can look when stitched on different fabric?  My mother stitched the above photo several years ago.  She used an 18 count cream Aida. 

I got to watch an adult male Hairy Woodpecker and newly fledged youngster at the suet feeder.

The toddler was perfectly capable of feeding itself...

...but it did not want to.

So poor old Dad...

...gathered up Bark Butter...

...and handed it off to the kid.

More?!?!?

Honestly! A parent's work is never done.

Loved the comparison on fabrics, it really can make a piece look different. This year was my first time seeing the woodpeckers feed their fledglings, it is so fun to watch them. I have a hard time keeping the starlings away from the bark butter, do you have starlings?
