Birds and Dolls

Hello.
How has your week been so far? Good I hope.
It's been a busy week here.
The usual working and visiting my Grandad in north east Yorkshire.
It's about 4 hours away from where we live in north wales luckily my daughter has always been good on long journeys.
Always nice to get away for a few days.
 
This week crochet wise I have jumped on the Attic 24 band wagon and hooked up five bower birds.
You can find the pattern here
They hook up a treat with clear and well written instructions.
 
I really enjoyed the stitching parts where I could personalise each birdie and give it, it's own character.
 
I wanted to show you my mantel piece because its made me smile this week having not one but two vases of flowers and my new dolls.
The nesting dolls were a bit of an extravagance for me, especially when I'm supposed to be paying for a wedding.
But...
I do love them.
So you may have just seen that I mentioned the wedding eek its getting close now!
Just over 2 weeks.
So if I do go quiet you will know what I'm doing. I'm hoping to keep up with things.
I will leave you with these chirpers!
Have a lovely weekend.
xx

In case you don't get time to post again beforehand, I hope that your wedding is wonderful and goes off just as you want it to, and more importantly that you have a wonderful, long and happy marriage!! xx

    Lovely to hear you've been to see your Grandad again FB and I trust he is well.
    Your bower birds are gorgeous, you've done a lovely job with them and I like your nesting dolls too - sometimes it's nice to treat ourselves to something we really want, and so you should! Your flowers are ever so pretty too. Gosh your wedding is coming closer faster and faster, you must be so excited. I do hope you share some lovely photos with us afterwards as I'm sure lots of people would love to see them - certainly I would :) Have a wonderful weekend lovely, xoJoy

    Your Grandad must have been so pleased to see you! We used to travel about the same distance to see my Mum and the smile on her face when we arrived was always so special. Your birds are gorgeous and I love your nesting dolls-they have always fascinated me too! Have a lovely weekend, Alison xx

    Yours are the first bower birds I've seen that actually make me want to have a go at making some of my own. They look great altogether.

    All the best for your Big Day! Hope all goes to plan and you have a great time.
