All 4 of those tine little eggs hatched. And they are all out of the nest today. All lined up, one after the other. The parents are busy all day, feeding these hungry babes. I was thinking the little guy in front got most of the food.
So just a few minutes ago, while I was getting clothes out of the washer to hang outside, that 1st little bird flew off the shelf! I was so afraid it would get through the door to the outside world of horrible evil cats. So I got it to fly back away from the door. Now I'm afraid it is behind that big cabinet, all alone. Maybe it will make it's way back up to the shelf and it's siblings. hear it back there. I had no idea they were already so big they could fly. I feel like a protective bird guardian and can't let anything happen to them while they are in my care.
I hope they all make it in that big ole world out there.
PS: Now 3 of them have flown off the shelf. The last little one is still there.
PPS: Now they are all gone. Just gone. Not even a goodbye or anything. Gone. I hope they make it out there in the big world. Maybe they'll come back tonight. I think it's going to rain.

From my studio...
I've been working in my studio, making needle felted critters and woodland faeries and owls. I still have so much more to create for market this week. Gotta get busy! But this past week was really busy, with shopping for several days from Mrs. T's birthday weekend. So that's all behind me now, I can really get to work.
Some of the cute little Outback Owlies. SO cute! When I first started making them, they looked like Furrbies. Do they look like that to anyone else? I hope it's just me. Although the husband did say they looked like Furrbies to him too.
My silly bunny. Need to work on the moth I think. But these are not perfect critters. More whimsical I think.
My Suffolk ewe and lamb pair.
And this cow. I made this cow a long time ago. Last fall I believe. I kept wanting to take it all apart and make something else. But the other day, I just sat down with her and she became a Holstein milk cow. A total transformation!
And these are my Cotswold ewe and lamb pair, with purple collars.
You can't really see it, but the sheep standing up has curly wool and is so cute. The other is laying down, looking up.
And my first 2 little woodland faeries. I want to make some with wings, but need to figure out how to make wings. Maybe need to wet felt them to make them kind of transparent.
And today, I made a lime green owl with shimmery white wings. And a cute different set of ewe and lamb. I'll take more pictures when I make more.
I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for a whole new week.

Sharing a good blog post from a fellow blogger I like...
and it's about bees and flowers, 2 of my most favorite things any more. But lately, whenever I try to post a comment on their blog, it just disappears. There are a few more blogs where this happens too. Very frustrating. But go check out their blog. Too cute.
