birds

Birds are easy. Birds are cute. Just ask Etsy and it will point you to a gajillion crafts with birds. Who am I to resist? And who am I to resist this cheap comment?: Bird's the word. And even cheaper?: Everything's getting the bird.

Cards, onesies, pillows, backpacks, toys... Nothing is safe. I will bird anything. Then one day, I will get sick of it. It is just the way it is. That is why we don't see people decorating their kitchens with ducks (and dusty rose and country blue) anymore. Something this cutesy and this "cheep" (couldn't resist. Last one, I promise. There are still more where these gems came from, but I will refrain.) can't last. Maybe if I loved real birds it would be different. But to me, they are kind of scary (maybe that is Hitchcock's fault).

I am not scared of these birds, though. For now, I love them...

Best friend said she remembers going to the store to buy thank you cards right after she had a baby so I made her some.

Two birds on a branch, on appliqued bird on a branch, two birds in a cage...

The guest room is finally a guest room. This bird can welcome my guests. It is very happy next to its coordinating circles pillow.

Sister in law sent me a pattern for this last bird. I had a hundred things to do, so, of course, I made the bird. I used my favorite-for-now orange fabric. I started one with Eva to teach her how to sew but she got bored.

That's it. For now. Bye Bye Birdie. I know I promised. But, really, would you have been able to resist?
