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 πΆπ΅πΆπΆππΏ
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 .
π☀️π️ Happy Spring to everyone . .
or maybe it is Happy Autumn for some down under π❄️ππ
Whatever it is for you , be inspired !
