Robin and me


 A combination of it being a very busy time of getting my vegetable garden going again and also of not being well for a while . 

I was carrying my needlework basket around with me everywhere we went , but just had no time at all to squeeze in any stitching .

I have had a couple of birds that have become quite tame and who would fly in for seeds and nuts . The Jackdaw who strangely visited every morning at around ten o'clock  , the blackbirds who come to me for grapes and a couple of Robins who love biscuit crumbs or suet pellets .

The Robins are very familiar with me ,always watching as I turn the earth in my garden , and hopping about my feet .

During the recent  coldest weather , one of the Robins has been coming to my hands for crumbs . 

My heart almost stops as he flies in to me . He is the sweetest little soul in the garden . With the sweetest song ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ

I did a little scribbly pencil sketch of him and later on I thought I might embroider it . 

 I'm still not sure whether to use crewel wool , cotton or silk . . . or even to just leave it as it is . 

I made a little start . . . but . . . 

I'm still thinking about it . 

         ๐Ÿ’โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ     Happy Spring to everyone . . 

                    or maybe it is Happy Autumn for some down under ๐Ÿโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒ™

             Whatever it is for you , be inspired !

Of Sea Monsters , Ships and Mermaids โš“

 

As tempting as it is for me to start filling this in .  I think I am going to hold back for now on that . I  think that just this simple outline will work for what I am doing .


This is for a family history project that I'm working on .


I need time to stand back and think about it . The other fish in my last project just wasn't right .
I think this one is more appropriate  . 
I think my husband's Great Grandfather would like this one .

Looking forward to doing something a bit different now for a while  .
