My favorite weather is bird chirping weather.[T.G.]
I started my journey blog hopping in January of 2013, since then, I have jump started the creative process and embraced the theme by creating a mug rug for each hop...I've found this helps me to gather my thoughts and focus on the projects I want to create. The journey with the Birds begins with.....
 |
| Mug rug |
After admiring so many of my bloggy friend's beautifully created needle cases I made myself sit down long enough to create one and so far, haven't lost anymore needles in the couch. The secret is now out, "These are FUN to create!" said of course in my very best secret shouting whisper. :)

| Cross stitched Needle Case |
And suddenly, an idea hatched! An idea with a mind all of it's own....you know the kind.....The idea takes off unwilling to listen to any of your suggestions and suddenly you find yourself just 'watching' from the sidelines. Well, I am still watching as this project is evolving and chirping away telling me what to do each step of the way...
Once these little birds are hatched and home to roost I will be posting their pictures here. At the moment, they are camera shy and do not want to be "exposed" as a 'work in progress'.
An extra big tweet-tweet thank you goes out to Mary and Madame Samm you both have inspired, encouraged and cheered each of us to spread our wings and fly soaring like eagles on the winds of creativity!
One more chirp...
I have a giveaway this morning, one that is packaged and waiting for a name and address! This little bundle will come in handy for the Christmas in July Blog Hop. To be eligible for the giveaway, please answer the following question: what are your three favorite picnic foods? Winner will be randomly selected Friday evening, remember I will need a way to contact you if you are the winner. Thanks for stopping by my little nest for a visit. I'm spreading my wings to fly over and visit all of the other Bird Loving Bloggers posting today. Come join me, it's going to be loads of creative fun!
May your day be filled with joyful bird songs!
with Love as always,
Beulah

Sweet mug rug! We do a lot of cookouts at our home for family and friends during the summer and around the holidays. Our guests love our traditional Christmas dish of Frogmore Stew. Basically, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn...some call it a Low Country Boil. A favorite summer dish is a spin on banana pudding. And I get a lot of requests for cobbler and ice cream.
ReplyDeleteGreat mug rug. Fried chicken, pasta salad and brownies.
