One To Go...

Don't Mind The Resident Moocher

As requested, I'm sharing photographs of all three wall hangings together. Of course, I'll rearrange when I complete the autumn wall hanging in 2026, but this is how I've arranged these three for now.

Robins and Cardinals were hanging in my studio until I moved them into our bedroom. Now, I'll see them when I wake up in the morning, and last thing before bed.

Handsome thinks I should consider having custom shadowbox frames with UV glass made for them. I'm seriously considering it! What do you think?

"Song of Spring - Robins"

"Winter Song - Cardinals"

"Summer Serenade - Bluebirds"


Thanks to everyone for all the lovely and encouraging comments along the way. We'll start again next year, but for now, I'm going to take a break from songbirds and get busy on Christmas projects. I'll have something completely unrelated for next week! See you then.

  1. I really like Handsome's idea! That seems like a very wise investment to protect those lovely treasures. A person can forget how aggressively the light can fade the beautiful fabrics. I know I wasn't think about it, and now that I've read today's post I can't imagine not protecting them. However, it looks like you already have personal body guard sitting watch there on the bed 😄

    1. Hi Lois:
      I do, too! Now to decide on frame treatment. I'm thinking very simple. I noticed dust on the cardinals, so I dusted all of them off to hang, but I like them being protected behind UV glass even better. I'll have four matching shadowbox frames made after Christmas. Yeah. Handsome calls her our Welfare Client. lol Thanks for your feedback.

  4. I like Handsome's idea too. All the work you've put into creating them should be preserved and kept safe from dust which is the enemy of so many needlework pieces. I say go for it!

    1. Hi MA:
      I agree. It's a great idea. I'm going to order frames after Christmas to protect these, and I'll have the fourth made right away so I have it when I complete the goldfinches. Thanks!

  5. So beautiful. They look so good together.
    Good thing Claudette is making sure they stay on the wall and don't take flight.
    Handsome, the man's a genius, but we knew that anyway, I just had to put it in print.
    I'm so thankful that I get to follow along on this magnificent songbird journey that your have created.
    Donna, thank you for the joy you bring us with each and every post for so many years.
    Enjoy the weekend.

    1. Thank you, dear Shirley:
      I'm enjoying seeing them together now. Claudette...lol. Handsome is going to see this, and I won't be able to do a thing with him after he does. LOL I tell folks "I knew I married Mr. Right. I just didn't realize I married Mr. ALWAYS Right" hahaha. You're so very kind to say so, my friend. I'm so blessed to have people who care about what I share, and you're among them. I am so grateful for you, honey. Just about the time I contemplate quitting blogging, you come along and re-inspire me.
      Big hugs,
      xoxo
