Bird Advent, days 23-25

I did it - just wrapped up my final 3 birds today - it's been a lot of gorgeous fun making these from the Snowbird pattern from Larissa Holland. You know, I wouldn't say that any of these stitch up very fast - I spent at least 4-6 hours hand sewing each one - but it's such a fun process that the hours really fly by.

Anyhow, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, surrounded by family and by everyone you love.

Bird Advent, day 22

Here's bird 22 - today I'll wrap up the last 3 birds of advent, and post them soon!

Bird Advent, day 21

One last lovely white snow bird for this Sunday.

Bird Advent, days 19-20

It is so odd, making these snow birds - I am so entertained by the infinite variety of little changes I can make, that I really feel like I could make these forever!

Bird Advent, days 15-18

Next to the green and pink birds, these are my favorites so far...

Bird Advent, day 14

Although photographing these is tricky, it's always fun to see the results. I'm really looking forward to snapping a big photo with all of them together...

Bird Advent, days 12-13

I wasn't ever planning to do blue and red - it kind of just happened, and I'm loving them.

Bird Advent, days 8-11

I completed these earlier this year - my favorite thing about photographing them as I finish is noticing all their little quirks and details.

Bird Advent, day 7

This all-white bird is one of my favorites so far. Maybe I'll make a few variations on this... :)

Bird Advent, days 5 and 6

I finished these two in January - my favorite part is still the black and white houndstooth felt on the back side - very cute, no?

Bird Advent, days 1-4

This year flashed by in record time for me! It's hard to believe I was making these beautiful birds 1 whole year ago, but there it is, the calendar, telling me what's what. These were made using the lovely Snow Bird pattern by Larissa Holland.

This holiday weekend I pulled out the birds, and started on these 4, half-finished and literally calling out to be sewn together. A marathon Gilmore Girls-watching later, I sewed these up and crafted another three.

Since I'm halfway there, I've decided to craft 1 a day for Advent - I can definitely crank out 25 of these beauties. Hope you enjoy them as I share them. :)
