I am continuing to make these little ornaments, adapted from
this great pattern from
Spool Sewing. I make about half a dozen little inside-out bodies at once, then flip them, stuff them and hand-sew them shut whenever I need one. I will be making these for years, I suspect. I adore them.

As the first birthday of little
b approaches, I am reminded of how strongly little birds resonated with me as I carried him. I had a gorgeous little
henna bird on my belly during my last week of pregnancy. My sister made a little bird mobile to hang over my birth pool. And I found myself singing songs about little birds
all the time, right through my labor and into his sweet birth.

Very cute! I was just a fair trade store, and they had mobils made with birds hanging from wooden circles, and thought of you. Maybe you can stay on a birdie roll even after the holidays! That way you can use all kinds of colorful fabrics....
