Shhhhhh…….Secret Project

February 24, 2014thegrangerange.wordpress.com

I have a secret project on the go and although I cannot tell all quite yet I thought I would share these little birdies with you.

A few got out earlier and landed on the bay trees outside the front door!!

Here are the next batch waiting to hatch into colourful birds.

The pattern for these lovely colourful creatures is from a great friend to all in the crochet community, yes you’ve guessed, Lucy at Attic 24 is the creator of this simple but effective pattern. It is so easy and quick too so great for beginners.

If you fancy having a go here is the link.

I was just thinking about making a few more of these the other day. I fancy a batch of white ones with coloured wings.

Do you know, I whispered my way through that post – the power of a simple “shhhhhh!”
Beautiful birds – looking forward to hearing what they’re for.

Love the birds – wonder what the local wild birds (and cats) make of your colourful escapees? 😀

  Spring would be very welcome here, although we have not had a very cold winter here, just a lot of rain.
