Little Bird

This little bird was a project that I started over a year ago, put aside and had never finished, until now. I am really pleased with him. The pattern is based on one from this book but with quite a few modifications. Although the pictures don't show it he is tiny. I have also individually cut out and handstitched every feather which as you can imagine was really time consuming but worthwhile as I love the finished look.

Apart from this I have been collecting cashmere jumpers from the charity shop, I am planning on making a super soft baby blanket. There is something about having a baby which seems to bring out the maker in me and after several months of not really creating anything I am suddenly full of new ideas and inspirations.
