However, they are playing really nicely with one another, and I've done all the chores (that I want to do, anyway, hahaha)
So, I actually took a break from sewing this weekend. I know! Unbelievable!
It's nothing serious, I'm already itching to get back into it. However, on Friday, I did manage to finish this top. It's the same one as the brown top that I posted about last week. This one, is a gift, a birthday gift. I don't think this person really reads my blog, and if she does, well.... surprise :)
She's about the same size as me, so this should fit her quite well:
You can't really tell from the picture above, but the fabric is quite gorgeous:
Oh, I also wanted to share some pictures I took of our bird feeding adventure this morning.
There is a trail near my house where we go to feed the birds. They are mostly small chickadees, and used to humans. So much so that they will pick seeds off human hands.
I wish I was a better photographer. I've been trying to read up more on photography, and picture composition. Most likely, I have to keep on practicing :)
Big girl is pretty happy to have the birds land on her hand:
My little girl is not too sure about it:
Checking out to see if the beautiful lake has frozen over. In February, we like to walk across this lake to the other side.
We saw a few of these beautiful bluebirds too, but we just piled up seeds on the ground for them. I think we truly did not want these to land on our hands, they were quite huge:

Yes, I could see how a BLUEJAY landing on your hand could be a little intimidating! Those things can be quite ferocious! LOL (Seriously! Those beaks are sharp.)
Lovely pics, Mama. :-)
Is that a bluejay? Lol... shows you how much I know about birds :)
Cute top! Makes me want to sew something, but shirts still intimidate me. Maybe I should just stick to mending/tayloring what I've already got.
Yeah, I would keep your distance from the bluejays, too. Nice pics!
Umm...if that's a blue jay, it's NOTHING like the enormous jays we have around here :) I'm sure yours is quite safe :)
Such a cute top, and a lucky friend!
(I hear you on the photo stuff- my husband couldn't believe I'd taken nearly 5,000 pictures so far this year...got to keep practicing! Watch for my post tomorrow, I think you'll like it :)
Photography is a constant learning experience. Two years after getting my DSLR, I still suck. Hahaha
Love the photo of the little girl with the bird. I know how she feels. :D
@Trish - I've seen some of the things you've made! So I wouldn't discount those tops that easily :)
@Bored & Crafty - You do take very beautiful (and artistic) photos, so I think whatever you're doing is working!
