You can never have enough...

morning ladies   We have rain clouds!  Now lets see if we have rain today.

Thank you so much for your kind comments.  I am happy with the Turkey Rug Stitch I used under the tui's chin.  It's an easy stitch to do but it does pay to make the loops longer than you need so when you cut them, you can also trim back to the length you need.  I ran my needle through the cut loops to split the single threads even further and then washing the piece fluffed it even more.  I'm also happy with the kowhai flowers.  In my first attempt I couldn't work out how to 'plump' the flowers up but this time I added some padding under the long and short stitch.  I'm still going through photos to help me decide on my next bird.

It's the Furry One's birthday today and he's 11.  So getting up there in age but still thinks he's a young dog when he chases rabbits.  We have some brisket bones in the freezer for him which he only occasionally has because of the high fat content.  But today he can have one.

Housework to do today, I have spiders to evict again.  It doesn't take long but it's not my favourite thing to do.  At least the ironing was done yesterday after I ironed my tui embroidery.  Seemed logical to do it while the board was out.

Thought I would post a pic of the Furry One seeing it's his birthday before I sign off.

   

Happy crafting
