Marika Makes: MSED: Bird a Day #90 Tiny Knit Chick

I got the pattern for this tiny chicken from Craft: Here is the link to the free pattern in case anyone would like their very own itty bitty chicky http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2011/08/project_excerpt_teeny-tiny_moc.html I altered the pattern slightly, I made mine wave "hello" and I didn't give him feet. I used some really nice wool/silk blend yarn that I had left over from some mittens that I never finished. I stuffed him with part of a cotton ball. It only took me one episode of Breaking Bad to finish him. Gotta bounce.

Progress Day

Even though I may not post a bird every day, I am usually working on at least one. I won't have a finished bird today but I wanted to share with you that I am making progress.

We'll see is this turns out at all

 And all that I am doing does not involve birds :) There must be a balance to life.

MSED: Bird a Day #85 Hooty Hoos for Sarah

Is this cheating? I made this owl sweater a while back for my daughter, Sarah. She reminded me of it the other day when I was struggling to come up with a bird. I still need to sew on buttons for the eyes and maybe after that I will post  it again! And no, it is not snowing here in Michigan...yet...that will be next week, ha ha.

Let me tell you how proud I am of this young lady. I get to because she is my daughter and this is my blog :). She is really smart, a great organizer and a self starter and never lets anything keep her from her goals. She may get knocked down from time to time but she gets right back up, ready to go again. And she makes one hell of a good strawberry cheese cake. You go girl!

enough pictures already!
