birds and words #3
Many, many thanks for everyone who voted on their favorite option in my last post. Purple Martins (#1) won the popular vote, but after reading your comments, I'm leaning towards #3 or #4 as something my parnter might like best. I'd like to stitch Purple Martins for one of you and do a little name drawing to determine the recipient. I'll let you know when I can get to that!

The house part of Awake the Dawning Day is now under construction. I managed to put in the door and windows and part of the birds at the bottom.
(If you're just now tuning in to birds and words, I am stitching this Blackbird Designs' chart using the recommended Weeks fibers and R&R linen.)
Hope you'll also enjoy this little poem by Daniel Hall.
"Short Circuit"
For no reason,
all at once,
a dove and a jay
swerve and land
at opposite ends
of the clothesline,
and the clothes--mine,
all mine!--commence
to dance with reckless
love and joy.

And that poem! It's wonderful! Like fresh air in winter...
Your sampler is looking beautiful! I like the poem too - so cheerful. This has been so fun stitching "with you". Every time I sit down to stitch AtDD I think of the rest of you doing the same.
Enjoy your evening,
