Beth’s project for Birdsong 3

Before our Florida getaway, Beth and Karla came over to do a practice class for Beth's Birdsong project.  She will be giving everyone a peat pot to foof and fill up with a few felty creatures.  While she will be making kits with everything needed to create three pieces to pop onto sticks and into pots, she'll also have plenty of extras. Cause she is Beth and that is how she rolls.

This is the potful that I made.

Here are some hearts she made.  She's providing patterns for hearts, birds, and flowers.

Here are a few that Karla and Beth made that day.  They can be stuffed, not stuffed, filled with lavender, made up of felt or muslin or lace, and decked out with lots of nice trims.

I wish Lori was close by so we could have a play day, practice class to prep for Birdsong with her. I can't wait to get my hands on her kit!!

Gifts are still arriving for the door prizes too.  Beth was way generous with this sampler apron she gave to us.

And Sissy is donating this lovely pendant made from a shard of china.  It brings back happy memories for me. My family and I had a craft day in Indiana once, and broke dishes together, then all soldered and made these necklaces. Sis enjoyed doing it so much, that she bought her own bench grinder.

Smashing dishes and sanding the edges using a big, powerful, tool is a task that gets out frustrations as well as creates something beautiful. So when the name of the power tool was misunderstood as "bitch grinder" that name stuck.   And still makes me giggle.

If you'd like to be a sponsor for Birdsong 3, you still have time.  Your link will be added to the list on the side bar till next year's new list for Birdsong 4 goes up.  And you'll make the Peeps who attend our party do a lot of ooohing and ahhing!!
