Behave or misbehave, it is always a toss up! Hehehehaha............Rufio is so cute, and Amber aint half bad either! :)
My bud Laura invited me to a bird making party with some of her quilter friends! My bird from the night is on the right, standing alone! WHAT FUN this was.....and the inspiration for these are Nellie's, visit her blog and see pattern and instructions...........she did an amazing job with this all! Debbie, that gal who went over it all with us, had all these birds in stages......sitting on the piano for us to see! Hehehe, they all needed wings, beaks ,eyes etc. Are they not already adorable!!

BEFORE and AFGTER of my chair completed! This was a rummage sale find for THREE DOLLARS! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! I sanded more of the white paint OFF, and I added some collaging to it, recovered the chair seat and painted some high lights of color....just a fun project. Now it can be sat on and is pretty to look at (to me:0).
Close up of collage with vintage ledger paper, fabric from the cushion,cheesecloth, buttons, metal embellishent says TOGETHER, and birds in the flowers.

OMG Patti! I love, love, love your little birdie. How FUN is THAT?! Wow. You and Laura should run your own class (I'll be your first student - hint, hint ...lol)! The pics of Amber and Rufio are adorable. Glad to see Rufio is doing better :) And your chair...oh my! What a TREASURE. I'm with Marilyn in that it was meant to be in your hands. Your house is going to be a museum of beautiful works! Have a wonderful weekend.
Love, Debbie K.

Now your birds are wonderful! I knew that you would have no problem with these critters and it is such fun to think of you and Laura and a pack of quilting pals getting together and creating these little darlings!!
I do so wish that we were closer- even a day away would be ok- SIGH!!!!
You did a great job honey girl!!
