They're Back!

Design - "Primitive Cat"
Chart - "Barn Cats"
Designer - The Prairie Schooler
Fabric - 28 count natural Norden linen
Fibers - DMC - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - September 2014
Completed 28 September 2014

I made a few changes as I stitched. I changed the color of the mouse from rust to light grey.  I added whiskers.  And I tweaked the pattern on the rug so that it filled the entire background in an even fashion.

Look who has returned! 

A male Black-headed Grosbeak.

I've heard them singing for a few days, and now there are a couple of males. 

They are very handsome and have a lovely song.
A wonderful part of spring migration.
Welcome back to your spring / summer vacation home!
