This one I had sitting there for a while as I figured out what I wanted to do with it. I was doing a lot of knitting over Christmas and the needle book was cut out but I couldn't figure out how I wanted it to look.
Then it just clicked into place.
The leaves are sewn on, and then there are little embroidered seeds. I love seeds. Once the flowers are gone there are all kinds of new things to look at and possibly play with.
The weather has been pretty mild for the time of year but a lot of hoar frost.
This is a big local evergreen tree with frost on it. There was also a lot of mist this week.
A few days after Christmas a hawk turned up next to the bird feeder. That wasn't the kind of bird I was supposed to be feeding! It was cold that day so it sat on one leg and glared at me.
Not sure but I think it is probably a young Sharp-shinned Hawk. They eat small birds. They are really good at flying at low levels in and around trees. Possibly it tried to pounce on someone and missed, but sometimes they just turn up and lurk hopefully in plain sight. After a short rest it disappeared again.
This is why some weeks the sparrows are very twitchy.
