Spring certainly is in the air! The daffodils are cheerfully blooming, birds are tunefully singing, the sky is a bright blue, pink and white blossom is brightening the branches and the blustery wind is much warmer! OOh and there's sunshine in abundance!
There are lots of spring birthdays in our family, so we have been a busy making, choosing, writing, wrapping and celebrating!
I picked these flowers made last year on my flower loom
and added a needlefelted middle to each.
Whenever a garland has been made to give away it hangs in our lounge until its ready to go - to keep it from getting squashed and to encourage it to hang straight!
However when it goes it takes its rainbow of colour with it!
Not being very good at making things for myself and after a very clever suggestion from Mr Random Wooliness a plan was hatched!
The flowers and birds were strung together with a note:
wishing Mr RW a Happy Birthday!
So now there is a very cheerful rainbow as a more permanent fixture brightening our room!
The birds are a bit bigger than most of the spring chickens and are all stash busters.
One camera shy bird flew the nest before pictures were taken.

Total big bird weight 32g.
The crocheted chain is also all stash wool 3g!
So 35g in all.
Lots of my creations involve hooking more than one strand of wool or yarn at a time. At the moment most of them include some of this beautiful rainbow from Sara's Texture Crafts.
Its so soft and makes eveything come up rainbows!

Ha what a lucky guy Mr. RW is. I'm glad to see a return of your cute little birds! Hopefully they spread that warm weather all the way over here!
That yarn looks soft even on the computer screen. I bet it's even nicer to the touch.
