Working Wednesday – Blue Bird on my Shoulder

I’m finally getting around to listing my new shoulder birds on Etsy. Of course, they are inspired by the Song of the South song, “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah“. It’s the ultimate happy song, right? My kids know the song even though they have never seen the movie (wish it was more readily available, I love it as a kid – and never picked up on racism).

These birds first appeared at the Studio of Awesome art walk in December, but I just never seemed to find the time to get pictures of them for the store.

Today is the day! I finally posted two birds (more to come hopefully) in the shop under “for the shoulder”

These birds are a lot of fun. The attach with magnets, so I had some on the Christmas tree, we wear them on our shoulder, the kids play with them everywhere.

This brown and white one is one of my favorites (as of now, it is not yet listed). I don’t normally have a lot of patterned scraps since I don’t really use patterned fleece… but I like how they come out when I use patterns. Since I make these from scraps, patterned ones will probably be rare.
