Birdy takes flight!

FQ Name tag ready to fly to a new home !


Well everyone wanted to give the bird legs and who am I to resist overwhelming popular opinion!??


I had though of creating some beaded legs on wire but thought they might catch on clothing so then I thought of legs that could be detached - at that point I thought Nicky you are going too far!  The bird will just have to stay legless.


After all your excitement about legs I thought about them again!  And with some helpful suggestions from the lovely Helen I realised they didn't need to be made of wire!  


So here is the birdy with cotton legs as suggested by Helen and a bit of wing stitching as requested by Katy!


Now I said I was going to bling things up with a beaded lanyard.


Well my partner has two options


Daytime with matching fabric lanyard








And Evening with beaded number








Now just to keep it all tidy I thought a pouch was in order and here it is... 


Quirky birdy side up....



The whole package...




Twitter birdy side



Close up of twitter birds... and what could be hiding under those gorgeous buttons?  I wonder!  Or should I say who?







Well until she gets it I couldn't possibly comment....!  But you can guess if you like....
