Meet Adelle, a bird by Ann Wood. I mentioned the talented Ann last year when I attended her show and brought home one of her horses, that I also adore. Almost a year later, I was finally able to acquire sweet Adelle who now sits at the helm of my ship, I mean desk. All I can say, she was the worth the wait ~ and the wait was not due to the fact that Ann only makes birds once a year, but it took that long for the timing of me to match up with the timing of a bird that was for sale that I could then purchase at super fast speed. Now that I am beginning my adventures with sewing, I realize just how much work goes into these little hand sewn creatures. And as with anything hand made, sometimes you have to be patient (a word and a concept I despise...) but it’s always so worth it!!!

My advice if you want one of these cuties yourself, is to sign on to Ann’s email list and her blog and get ready to pounce when they are released for sale. I’ll be back with a painting today...it’s been too long.....and thank youuuuu for the softie love!!!
