Summer Days Block 11- Home Tweet Home

It is another beautiful Thursday. I wanted to apologize that I did not post a Thursday Embroidery post last week. I was still down about having tech troubles, but on a happy note. I think I am back on track. 

Today is going to be filled with lots of playtime. The youngest grandbaby is out of school because it is Pre-K sign up day . So I see army men and legos creeping into my day. But come lunch time I will slip in a few embroidery stitches. 

One of my favorite activities is watching birds.

           

 I could sit on the porch for hours and watch the birdies visit the feeders or flutter back and forth from the birdhouses. I have a birdie right now that has built a nest on the column of my porch. I did not have the heart to tear it down. 

                           

Some of my favorite birds to watch are hummingbirds.  Do you have a favorite bird that you enjoy watching? 

           

My dear friend, Patricia sent me The  Needl'  Love Company  pamphlet which includes "Bird Watcher" . I tea dyed my fabric just before I left on my camping trip so I could start it.  This will be a good stitch to work on while relaxing on the porch. 

Today's embroidery doodle is Home Tweet Home

One more doodle for the Summer Days blocks to go and then I am going to have to figure out how I am going to set mine. Have you thought about setting your blocks yet? 

I am going to work on my  Sunflower Basket block too. Remember I made 2 of them . This one I am going to make into a pillow.

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will appear.

  4. Sweet little doodle for today! I love bird watching of all kinds!! Eagles and hawks when travelling or camping, so beautiful. Hummers on the patio, looking for flowers and juice, and I have a visiting woodpeacker that robs the hummers feeder and plays hide&seek with me!!. My favorite are the rosy0cheecked lovebirds that come for the black oil sunflower seeds, they are so colorful and so noisy!! Sounds of tiny parrots fill the air. Have a wonderful day with your grandbaby, sending hugs to all from Arizona/

    1. oh how fun, Mary. I love watching for Eagles too. We live near a small river and there have been a few in the last couple of years that nest nearby. I bet your woodpecker is a hoot . I did not know they would rob the hummer's feeders . How interesting . We had one peck up the rail of porch after carpenter bees. I did not know they would do that either. lol. Have a wonderful weekend. Sending hugs and love.
