My new friend!

So here is my peacock! He hasn't got a name yet but I am sure somebody will come up with one soon. As I was blog-hopping a while ago I came across a post that recommended a book called "little birds". On the cover was a felt bird and as I love felt I decided to treat myself. Imagine my excitement when I found a pattern for this absolutely scrumptious fellow as well as lots of other lovelies! He has taken a few hours to do but it was lovely to sew something completely by hand for a change.

This is his face and top knots!

And a back view of his tail. The colours have bleached out a bit in all this gorgeous sunshine. IRL he is electric turquoise and purple, so very bright and not as muted as he looks here.

Thank you for stopping by and especially leaving comments. I have had lots of really lovely ones recently and it really makes my day that you stop and bother to leave them.
