Sewing and birds today.............

Well we can't get out of the drive at the moment. Gerry did go out and cleaned up a bit and started to shovel at the end of the drive but its a lot of ice. Hard to break up. He gave up. I did want to go to the quilt store but ah well. I finished off a pair of pillow cases for Teal. I had kitty fabric that I didn't know what to do with. Then it occured to me, pillow cases. She likes cats so that's done.

I did French seams to avoid fraying.

Then with two different fabrics I made a small bag, shoe bag? Toy bag? I don't know but it's quite sturdy because I did French seams on that as well.


I am thinking they would be good for wrapping Christmas or birthday presents. I may make a few of those out of fat quarters. They may come in handy.
In between sewing I shoveled a path on the deck to get to the bird feeders. I made some fat balls for the woodpeckers. This beauty comes every day. So as the fat was done and he was resorting to eating from the feeder I got to work.


I got all the feeders full and put out bread. Funny thing is they love the bread. I was very surprised that the woodpecker liked the bread and went for that even when the fat was available




The Starlings come in as soon as they see food. They have to have scouts. I know the Blue Jays do. I also know their cry of "shes got the food out guys" So this Blue Jay got his prize but a Starling wanted it too.

"I WANT THAT" says the Starling

The snow had began to melt back but it's back. The Bay has frozen over officially and more to come. I hope everyone thinks about the wild life. Feed those you can. Never mind the rules and regs........feed them.
So I wonder who scribbled on my recipe that was sitting on the counter? I was thinking of making bread. Hmmmmmm?

I really need to get back on my diet, but it's impossible. Money is very tight and in any case I cant get to the store. Oh we have plenty on hand, it's just I need fresh veggies and fruit. Ah well........worry about that later God Willing.
