i stumbled upon this sweet stamp set over at hobby lobby the other day, and immediately fell in love with this fabulous gingham birdie. and the fact that i had a 40% off coupon burning a hole in my jeans pocket made the decision easy that this little cutie was coming home with me!
after we got home, it was time to get acquainted with each other, so i stamped the image onto a piece of scrap fabric.....
and then i gave him some much needed legs (they're long and lean, just like i wish mine were.....) and a wing that was a former tear-shaped shell button, along with a black bead for an eye. but no gingham birdie is complete without a happy garden to wander in, so i stitched some colorful french knot flower buds to make him feel right at home.
and now that we're good friends, i might even show this little birdie where my chocolate stash is......well, maybe.....
hope you have a great weekend!
