I crocheted a birdie today. :-)

My photo of my birdie is *not* good, I took it inside with my iPhone -- I'll try to take a better photo tomorrow.  BUT, it was fun to finally make a crocheted bird after thinking I'd like to do one for a long time.  


This one will be a gift for my older sister who just had a birthday - her nickname is "Bertie" but I call her "Bird".  Her real name is Roberta.  She's a twin to my older brother named Robert.  They were born in Oklahoma and were quite the excitement for the families.  They nicknamed them "Butch & Sis". :-)



The idea for this bird came from Lucy over at her blog - Attic24.  She dreamed it up and wrote up the instructions for us all.  

I haven't said anything this week, but I strained a back muscle a week ago Saturday and have had a really rough week of pain.  I've seen the chiropractor twice and am on the mend, but wow, back pain is awful.  

I hope you all had a great weekend!  Hubby got the whole place mowed yesterday and got out the tractor and mowed a big part of the pasture before he knocked a tire off.  Isn't it always something?  Today he did some house stuff, he's a great guy.

I've spent the weekend trying to mend and catching up on some computer things, cleaned up a full in box of email, did some volunteer graphic design and website work - and made a birdie!!  

Hugs all around!  Teresa

  2. Back pain is, well, a pain isn't it. I have a spot in my lower back, left side that I tweak a lot. Sometimes it is a little but sometimes it hurts to sit, stand, lay down..I hope your back mends soon.

  3. Great bird, I did this bird a few months back and I agree it was fun and easy to make, mine hangs over a door handle. I think I will make some more up and turn them into robins for christmas.x

  6. Hi girls! I'm off to another chiropractor appointment, then I need to find that heating pad. On the mend.

    I think I'll try a robin - what is the story about robins and Christmas? I've never heard of that one.

    Hugs, Teresa

  7. Can totally empathise with you and your bad back, mine has a tendency to "go" and has done for many years, touching wood here .......but has been pretty good lately. I gave up on chiropractors, osteopaths etc. started using magnets, arnica gel and a cold pad, also tried to keep moving, recovery time seemed just the same.
    Your birdie looks great. a robin sounds a great idea for your Christmas tree.
    Hope you feel better soon.
    Hope you

  8. Hi Carol, I think you and I are lucky that our sore backs recover. I just had a friend get surgery and that scares me! Hugs, Teresa
