These songbirds from Ramie are awesome!! They are so cute all perched on their little swings. Their little feet are ribbons. And the colors are so pretty.
There are beads on the edge of their tails. How creative she is. I can just see them coming alive swinging and singing. Yes, I'm excited over these. I love these birds.
And she added 2 spools of lace, we both think they must be vintage; some teas and herbal medicinal teas that will go to good use; and some quilting magazines that have some very pretty qult patterns of which I have already chosen one that I am ready to start. And that's not all folks, a McDonald's gift card, how sweet is that!!

(I tried over and over and over to upload the other pictures, but something's not working), but believe me everything is fabulous.


Thank you Ramie! This is a great package, I love it...

April's theme and partners!

April ornament: Songbird ....a small bird that lives in the forest or meadow.

(Not water fowl or raptor...) Think of Cinderella's little bird friends that made her ball gown!


April challenge: embroidery or some other type of embellishment

April activity:

Hang a bag of bird nesting materials in a tree near a water or food source.
Be sure to include brightly colored bits of yarn and other sparkly things to attract their attention!
Some good materials are dryer lint, bits of hay and raffia, ribbon, grasses, feathers, and fabric selvages in small pieces.
I use an old onion or tomato bag and just weave a piece of yarn through the top to close it.

Extra activity: For those who created a Fairy House, this is the perfect time to plant
seeds around your fairy house to create a fairy garden.
