morning ladies 
A fine but chilly start to the day so far.
Well at least he's not in pain, popeye. Mum did weird stuff while on morphine too.
This morning I'll whip up a batch of choc chip bikkies, might double the batch and keep some in the freezer. Out of all the baking I do, MrK keeps asking for them lol. I suspect they are his favourite somehow
Yesterday I stitched part way down the thrush's chest using chocolate brown. Today I hope to fill in a contrast brown and fill spaces with pale yellow and contrasting creams. Long and short stitch takes a while so only small areas at a time get done but it's worth the effort. I must draw some arrows on the thrush to guide my stitch direction as that saves a lot of unpicking. The thrush is sitting on a branch, and I thought I might use a very loose french knot for lichen similar to what I used on the kingfisher to add a bit of dimension and texture. This is certainly one of my happy spaces.
happy crafting
