Look I really an all of 15 inches tall.  No laughing at my fluffy pantaloons (legs).

I do this action when my human stretches her arms up whilst yawning or exercising. He! He! He!

Hetty flew and landed as shown – quite the expert at landing on a spot.  Looks quite arty in an ironic way.

Well I have finally started a cross stitch featuring the one and only Hetty.  I hope it comes out ok.  As is my normal behaviour – I have more than one project on the go so I will keep you posted.

Hi, just completed the Proud Peacock – such stunning colours.  It is on even-weave fabric not aida.  Took quite a while to do, but really proud of it.

The Egyptian Princess is half cross stitch on pre-printed fabric.  Rather like colour by numbers when painting.  Slightly easier to do than counting crosses all the time.

Hope you like

Hetty – very soggy bird – going to fly around to dry wings now!!

Hi, Hetty here – I’ve posed for some new pictures.  I think this one on the left shows my features the best.  I am a Meyer’s parrot and my ancestors are  from the African continent (I am British born).  I am smaller than the African Grey but my bite is just as good, though I do not impose such an act unless provoked or hormonal (it’s my age – I am a grouchy teenager after all).  I love sitting on my human’s shoulder and stealing kisses.

Well that’s my little Birdy Byte for today, don’t fly away I will be back soon.

Time for snuggles!  Peck Peck

Hi, I’ve just picked up stitchwork from the Picture Framers and I’m so pleased.  Here are two very different types of stitches.  The elephant (not my design – by the way – I just worked the stitches) is in blackwork and is in fact loads of octagons with cross stitches for effect.  The other uses cross stitches and straight stitches ( again not my design ).
