*Make Something Monday*




Today I made a wool picture.
I love birds, trees and leaves as design elements, and, using wool pieces I'd washed in hot water, I cut some shapes directly from them. 
I decided to arrange these pieces on a square of wool and hand stitched the pieces down with embroidery thread.
A few beads added some glitz...
And now, it's ready to make into a little pillow.
A one day project, a little gift to tuck away for someone special!

  2. I am so into birds! I have liked them as design elements in the past, but I adore them now. My home is filling up with the little creatures! Love bringing the outdoors, indoors!

    It seems that my blogging has been sluggish. Just as soon as I think I have a moment to relax, something comes up that causes me to sidestep. It feels so good to be here today. I really love your heart!

    Oh happy day!
