Blue 1

Blue 3

Blue 2

It rained and it rained, and then it stopped. The clouds lightened and some light pushed through, and the birds came back, swooping and calling.

All of this made it hard for me to settle down and work, for some reason. So I spent far too long hand-stitching this tiny bird pin. A bluebird made from linen and embroidery thread. With a little movable wing. 

I hope you're having a good Tuesday, whatever the sky might be doing above you.

    Me too! That moveable wing is just brilliant. The skies are very dark and gloomy above us – I’m thinking soup!

    how sweet! it rained and stopped, rained and stopped and on and on. Some brilliant blue sky replaced by some very dark cloud every hour or so. Hope it’s better tomorrow!

    Lovely little bird. I’ve had birds on my mind-but had never thought of a wing that moves – very clever.
