on my work table : bright and happy things

little birds in progress

For the last week or so I’ve had lots of happy, sweet, festive things to work on.  It is a lovely thing that I hear from women who had my  caketopper birds for their wedding and would like a little bird for their child and so I’ve been making special birds for little girls. Two were for a birthday cake and had fancy party hats.

I had so much fun making the hats. I love mini and I love crepe paper – it is magic stuff.  I’m working on a little girl size version of the paper feather crown  and I’ll share the instructions for that soon – everybody needs a feather crown.

  1. LOve Ann! endless ways to do the birds! you will have to have hat patterns/instructions. On the tiding up book, I read it to and although I have not done it all ,what she said has stayed with me and I think about it each time I keep something or throw something out etc. I am like you in that I am older and have to much stuff and I really don’t want it all. slowly but surely… XXOO Cat

    Enjoy your notes and patterns. Especially your wonderful ships. But I before e except after c. Receive! Too many English teachers in my family.

  4. I just had a flash idea of a school of fish…about the size of your birds. Bright and cheerful and hanging from fishing line so it looks like they’re swimming. Would be lovely….or as a mobile. Something in the image of the bird laying down triggered it. A thought.

    • Thanks Karen- interesting – and I’ve had mobiles on my mind lately…….
