A Little Blue Bird

So, I was reading Erika's blog (where I won Holly, by the way - HOORAH - Holly is gorgeous and very happy here in her new home!!), and really liked the little birds she was making. I followed the link she provided and absolutely fell in love with this bird mobile!

Last night I cut out a bird using the free pattern provided by Spool, and this morning I sewed him up. I added some wings because I saw one in the Spool Bird Softies Flickr Group with wings and really liked how it looked. Here is how my little blue birdie turned out:



Now I just need to make a whole flock of birds and put a mobile together. The bird I made today won't be a part of the mobile, though, because my son has claimed him. Says he is going to take it to bed with him tonight. He has been carrying it around all day. Like I always say - he is my biggest fan!
