Your birds are absolutely delightful! Where do you get your inspiration...I guess from the birds arriving for Spring? I love them with the pretty beads in between. I could look at birds all day and never come up with that cute idea. Maybe I should go outside and look with the idea of trying to replicate nature into some type of fiber medium. I'll try that! LOL! But no matter what I might come up with I know I could never like it as much as your creations!<br />Love the new fabrics too....I am quite tired of yarn right now! LOL! Enjoy!
