I mentioned that I love the DMC thread and Merry had a whole bunch that she isn't using more! See all those terrific colors? That's why I like for machine applique. I use a thread to match.
Thank you Merry!
Got home from lunch yesterday and found this little baby birdie in my back yard. There was no visible nest so the most I could do was to put him somewhere away from my dogs.
You can see a bit of his blue feathers coming in and the parents were blue jays really raising a ruckus!!
I thought this was the best way for me to transport him.
I put him inside this little veggie garden area where he stayed for quite some time. Porter was still interested, but he's a good boy when I tell him leave it!
When I got home from work the blue jay parents were coaxing the baby to the neighbors- not a safe place with their bird dog!
When Cory got home he spotted a nest and tried to put him back in. Unfortunately the little guy had a looonngg fall to the ground after about 5 minutes. It was suggested on facebook to get a planter and make a sort of nest, so that is what we did. It is a bit deeper then the real nest so he is still in there for now. The parent birds don't seem to know where their baby is, so we aren't sure what will happen. Our fingers are crossed. That is this weeks drama at my house!
Now, let's see those string quilts!
