a tiny feathered-thing came to visit yesterday…
… he appeared in my sewing basket & wanted to learn to fly.
a tiny magpie with calico feathers & a red-breast
fragile rusty wire legs and small stitches brought him to life.
please hop on little friend…
we have much to do!
those bead-y little eyes watch me as I work…
nodding and approving & sometimes scolding as magpies often do...
no, please don't go ~
please stay with me a while longer?
I have yet to build a nest for you
a cozy little place where you can live forevermore ~
I'll weave it from raw flax & donkey-hair…
some sheep fluff and thread snippets
all in true magpie-fashion ~
Oh! I almost forgot to mention what this little bird has to say ~
fly on over to
to see what I have for you!
~ Blessings from the Farm ~
