Day #8 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Nesting Season, a very cute chart that I received from Sarah Beth of
Sarah Beth's Cross-Stitch Blog. I made a comment on how I liked her finished bird in the nest and she sent me the chart! Thank you so much, Sarah Beth! I will certainly pass it on to another stitcher when I am finished. I am using 14 ct Oatmeal Aida and it will be 3-1/4" x 3-3/4". I'm using a hoop because it's too small for a Q-Snap, but I took the picture of it in a blue heart-shaped frame that I found at a yard sale, which will be perfect for this! You can see Sarah Beth's finish on her blog
HERE. The chart is also in this booklet,
The Nestlings.

| Nesting Season |
From my
WIPocalypse list, I pulled out another bird nest design from the UCJC in 2012. This is
Bird Nest (No 2), a kit from
Yiota's XStitch. I started stitching the gray feathers on the bird and the light pink and creamy colors are his chest. Hopefully he will come to life soon!

The cross stitch kits from
Yiota's XStitch come with Madeira thread already wound on bobbins. I'm looking forward to getting another kit from her some day!

Both lovely pieces. It amazes me how you manage to make progress on so many pieces at once!
Lovely projects.
Oh my, what a cute little bird that is. And I have to look up the bird's nest on the Yiota site. Birds are always very attractive designs for, I just love them.
Both look very lovely!! The heart shaped frame is very nice !!:)
That birds design is just so cute, have fun working on it! Have a great stitchy weekend!!
I have always loved watching birds since I was a little kid. They are beautiful creatures. These pieces and going to be beautiful too. Great work.
I love bird designs and actually have Nesting Season (finished and framed!). You're right, that heart-shaped frame will be perfect for it!
Another great start and the frame is perfect.

The blue heart will be perfect for your little birdie.
