This is my image of my Meyer’s parrot – Hetty.  (It’s still a W.I.P)

Hope you like.

 

Snuggles with my human friend and carer.

She (the bird) is such a poser!

Hi everyone, well it’s has been some time since my last mention of Lady Greensleeves but I’m sure you can see I have been fairly diligent and continued with the above as well as stitching my image of Hetty.

 

Hi everyone – I love birds and have a particular soft spot for swans.  One day where I worked there was a river close by and a railway line.  One sygnet mis-judged the overhead cables and landed in the yard.  I managed to calm the poor thing and sat on the concrete next to it for over an hour whilst it drank some water and recovered from it’s experience.  It is hard for a swan to take off from a hard surface, (they need to paddle the water with their feet), and after a couple of tries and quick flapping of wings it took off, circled and away.  I felt good, happy that I could help.

The above picture is a Twilleys of Stamford Design.  It needs stretching and framing. Must save up the pennies.

 

I loved stitching this, although it took ages, it looks antique but obviously isn’t according to my date.  It is stitched on evenweave fabric and I have modified the design slightly although I can not remember who it was who designed it.  I think it will need some stretching before being framed.

 

Hi everyone, above is another project I completed during my dinner hour’s at work.  I love jazz music and there is another image in process of a saxophone player.  They will look so good together when framed.  Hope you like

Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while – I’ve been busy and away on holiday.  The above stitch work is a project I have been sewing during my dinner breaks at work.  I have never added beads or ribbon to anything I have stitched before – so another first ticked off.
