This is what the birdie looks like when it does have a belly; much better I think!
Here you can see the difference in size from above:
It's funny that yesterday I was rather pleased with my first bird and now I think that it's looking a bit odd. This often happens with the things I make, but usually over a longer period of time. For example, I was really pleased with this softie that I made a couple of months ago for Amber. When I look at it now I see quite a few things that I would change if I would make a new one. It's an interesting process and I think it's only normal that you continually want to improve the things you do and make.
The postman delivered another package today. I think he is starting to wonder why I'm getting so many packages. He was really chatty in a sort of annoying way. I really wanted him to leave, but of course couldn't be rude to him for fear of not receiving more wonderful packages...
Anyway, this package came from Lu and it was just stuffed with lovely things.
There were ribbons, buttons, beads, fabric and cute handmade goodies.
Also great fabrics!
It was all wonderful, Lu! Thank you so much for a lovely swap!!
I myself sent out F O U R packages today; hopefully they'll all arrive safely.

What sweet birdies. I'm envious of you sending out 4 packages, I need to make a large trip to the post office myself.
Yay for the blanket stitch!
You've done a beautiful job with it here!
I just love this process of learning to craft, developing new skills, seeing style evolve.
Yes, I have found it takes quite a few duds before you get it "right". But doesn't it feel nice the whole process!
And the softie you link to in your post is simply perfect in my eyes!
You have a wonderful style, keep it going!
Birds are cute, both with and without belly! :-)
