Hi, these two images are the works of art I am presently stitching.

The Lady is called Maude and is a creation by Jill Cater-Nixon and distributed by Classic Embroidery.  Very intricate but a delight to stitch.

The second image is my creation of my adored Meyer’s Parrot – Hetty.

 

 

So comfy!!!  Team Hetty – got my own T-Shirt now.

I just saw my first swallow, swooping here and there.  Summer has officially arrived.

Yippee !

Hi I’ve just set up a Tumblr account – go see HettyCharlieRuffles.

A sunny bank holiday – hooray – Hetty here and I’m taken outside in my cage as I am fully flighted you see – and if I fly too high I would be disorientated and lose sight of my fabulous human, for whom I have much love.  As you can see I was doing acrobatics and everything.  I know in the 1st image it looks like I have grown a bunch of feathers on my head, but I can assure you it is a shrub in the background.

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!

Bye  Peck Peck

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
