WOYWW 878 bird twiddles and beads

Hi all, I’m joining in with our weekly bloghop care of Sarah’s Craftshed. Many thanks for your good wishes. I’m sending healing hugs to all who are ill, especially our Neet. I’m starting to feel a bit better, the numbness in my face is mostly gone and I can make a little effort but any more and I’m completely exhausted. 

I’ve cracked the spiral chicken I think. It’s less than 2 inches in height. I’ve used dc crochet in the back loop for the spiral and have tried to give him a bit of a rooster tail. 

I can show you my beaded bird as well now, since Jan’s received hers. It closes for storage with a press stud. 

This is the back with a removable pincushion (press stud):

And this is the front with a scissors pocket, a central pocket and, on the right, a magnet needle minder and a book format needle case. 

It was a bought pattern from the Wishing Shed on Etsy. The creator has struggled with people copying her pattern and selling it for twice the price. Her pattern is here: Luna Crow The instructions and templates are beautifully clear. 

I’m still at odds with my laptop although the dishwasher has been put back on its wheels, yay! 

Bella isn’t keen on me beading as I need a tray on my lap. 

She’s been giving me lots of healing cuddles though, and she sends you all purrs. 

She’s found another way of supervising me, from the back of my chair. 

And finally:

I’ve a hospital appointment so may be round later. 

Happy WOYWW

Hugs
