Tuesdays are special , I get to quilt with my friends and we enjoy a meal together so I always look forward to this day but my treasure for today are the birds that have been frequenting our feeders lately ,I love birds and it is always so nice to see a few different birds so when this flock of Evening Grosbeaks landed I just had to grab my camera and take a photo , they are so beautiful even if they are a bit of a hog at the feeder .
I also love my new feeder "Feed the Birds" made by our friends Sharon and John , it looks great and the birds love it :-)So my treasure today are my feathered friends ,I am sure we will see quite a few now that the weather is getting colder but you will note there is no white stuff on the ground yet .I am linking up with the delightful Melody at
The House on the Side of the Hill .
I do have some sewing to share but I haven't had a moment to take photos but I will share this other project that I have been busy with , tomorrow our Wednesday sewing group is having a cookie exchange so here are my packages all set to go ,what is inside is a secret :-)
I wasn't quite sure how to package them and then came up with this simplistic country style of the brown paper bag which I stamped then used a hole punch and tied a ribbon through with a tag I printed from the internet . Fun to do. To get your own cute tags go here to the
Noble Wife blog
Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is going well.
hugs Sheila

ReplyDeleteSheila, I love your bags...too cute! Can you share where you found the tags on the internet? Love them muchly!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the bags for the cookies. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI love your bags for the cookies - very effective. I bet those cookies taste delicious too.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to make cookies last weekend but didn't get around to it - maybe this weekend I will :)
You did a great job with your bags! Thanks for sharing the birds. It's like spring here today, but we don't have any pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest bird feeder. What beautiful birds using it. Nice idea with the paper bags.
ReplyDeleteA great favourite with me too. I love your new feeder and looks like the birdies do too. I think your cookie packaging looks gorgeous. What could suit cookies better.
ReplyDeleteSheila they look fantastic,i am off to check this link out,thankyou.xx
ReplyDeleteI love the simple gift bags...They are great. Love the bird feeder also!
ReplyDeleteI love your gift packages. By the way, the quilt on my blog is by verna mosquera
ReplyDeleteWhat neat birds! I love bird watching too. Your idea for the gift bags is a great one, especially with the custom tags.
ReplyDeleteThe grosbeaks are beautiful, we get them here a quite often too! Love the brown paper packages!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeder...those bags look amazing...
ReplyDeleteI also love to watch the birds at the feeder. I have a couple set up and with the snow around they are busy spots. I have a friend that has a heated bird bath for them for the winter..... it's fun to watch them at her place shaking of the warm water after there bath.
ReplyDeleteI have not done a cookie swap in a couple years ... we are talking about getting one on the go again.
I do think if we lived closer we would spend a lot of time together my friend.
have a great day]husg
