Book, Wildlife

The April Technique of the Month Challenge at http://www.threecreativestudios.com/ was painted lace. I made a cuff then and had so much lace left over that I made this book. It is bound using the Bind-it-all. Then I decorated the spine with buttons, strips of fabric, ribbons, and yarns. My problem is that I like making the books but am not a writter, so they just sit around.
Sorry about the blurry photo, but it's hard to take one with the momma yelling at you to leave! The baby robins have grown so much. One was sitting on the edge of the nest and yesterday flew a bit. We've so enjoyed watching.

TAST, Wildlife

It is week 5 already in Sharonb's Take a Stitch Tuesday challenge http://www.pintangle.com/ This is the Knotted Buttonhole and is easy to work and vary.Look at what we noticed by the back door. Two robins built a nest. It is very close to the door that we use all the time. We have been using the front door to try not to disturb them but have to go by it to get in the garage. Sometimes they are there; sometimes it looks like they deserted it. I hope they stay, so we can watch them.See how well it is hidden from the outside, but if you look closely, you can see how close it is to the door.
