...it's a bird! :)
Ever since a friend of mine had a baby (about a year and a half ago - lol); I've become somewhat obsessed with starlings, as the baby's middle name is "Starling". I have no idea whether or not they had a European starling in mind, or whether they even had a bird in mind (!); but a European starling immediately popped into my head.
So when I found that bark while golfing, literally the first thing that popped into my head was "I should stitch this and put a starling on it." So (eventually) that's what I did. :)
It will probably be the beginning of a new bird series focusing on the birds of Ontario; but in the meantime, I've got to finish this one!
Nearly there...
Talk soon!

As you may remember, I was working on machine stitching on bark a little while ago.
I've been doing more work on this project, including, as you can see here, some hand stitching. Although this is thin bark, it's quite difficult to get through by hand, (who knew?), so it's been slow going.
I work on it for an hour or two, and when my hands can't take it anymore, I put it away for a week or two. Lol I'm punishing it for hurting me! ;)
Eventually, this piece will be done - it will go faster if I stitch in the correct direction - unlike here, where the branch is going towards the bottom of the pip rather than the top. Oops!
Did you see the moon last night? It was incredibly beautiful wasn't it? That rusty red lusciousness will be the subject of many a photograph. I was going to run in and get my phone, but instead, I called to BSP to come out and see it, and we shared it with each other, instead of all of you.
Good Solstice and Happy Chanukah!
Talk soon,
As you'll (hopefully!) recall, I've now moved over to Kit Lang Art, where I have a new post up.
I said I'd post here up until September, but my BSP is having major surgery on September 1, so I don't think I'll post here again.
Please come and join me over at
And if you choose not to, thank you for all the years, and all the comments, all of your support as I went through my ups and downs and ups and changes.
It's been really wonderful.

over at Kit Lang Art. ☺
