Bird Alphabet

I’ve just finished another of the letters for the bird alphabet book. The letter F has a very sweet little chaffinch.

Now I’ve completed A to F, I’m nearly a quarter of the way through the alphabet. I’ve started G which has what I think is a female black cap. I’m still trying to work out what size to finish the pages as I could do with starting to back-stitch round the edge as I go, rather than leaving them all to the end, I could even start to stitch the pages together. Although the letters are around the same size, the foliage around them does make some wider, I think I need to have a play with the letter’s I’ve done and make a decision.

Here’s the first six letters of the bird alphabet…

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

    They are lovely. Could you skip ahead to one of the wider letters like W or M and finish that before making a decision on final size of the pages? You don’t want to decide and then not have enough room
