Poor Birdie!

We were walking home from church on Sunday and came across a very sad thing:


This wee birdie was lying dead on the foot path, probably having fallen out of the very tall tree above where it was lying.

The kids were fascinated at seeing the bird so close up.  We brought her home, respectfully wrapped her up, and buried her in a wee box in the front garden (where the dog can't dig her up and eat her!).

On a less morbid note, I thought I'd have a go at iddy-biddy crazy patchwork, using the tiny leftovers from my daughter's crazy blocks.

Pincushion!

only 4" square!
I've decided it will be a present for one of the many birthday-ers we have this month!

Have a great Tuesday!

  1. I can't believe how tiny the pieces are in that pincushion. It looks great. Maybe I should tell you when my birthday is. ;-)
