So, I’ve been so busy with things in my real life that I forgot to mention on my blog that I’ve been participating in a crafting competition, SYTYC. You know me, I love to have a good excuse to get some crafts done that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Here’s my project for the first week. The theme was Spring.
When I think of spring, one of the first things that comes to mind is baby animals. Lambs, bunnies, fluffy little chicks. So for this project, I decided to make something for my own sweet little babies. Something Spring, of course. 
Here’s a look at some of my inspiration. I love these paintings of wings by Albrecht Durer. Love.
I made both girls a new set of wings to transform them into little baby birds. I’ve seen the idea floating around Pinterest for a while, and I wanted to do my spin on it. I love them, and the girls do, too.
Now my little birds are ready all ready to fly.
Well, it looks like I may be out this week, and I’m not surprised, since the theme, knock-off, really isn’t my thing, but if you want, you should go over and vote. Voting goes until Thursday night, I think. There are some nice projects if you are into knock-offs.
Have a great day!

I love those – perhaps I need to make some for my twin grand daughters.
That would be great. I’m hoping to have the sewing templates up soon (by the end of the month), if your interested in following my pattern.
Oh those are the cutest! You have 2 lucky girls that can get beautiful play things like that, homemade! 🙂
Hi, What does knock-off mean in this context? In the UK, a few decades ago it was a colloquial (and Northern) and pretty crude way of saying you were having a full relationship with someone. Clearly, there’s an alternative meaning going on here. Do tell!
Cheers, Linda
Ha ha, that’s pretty funny. In the States, in a crafting sense, it means taking someone else’s design/concept (e.g., a dress, or a home decor item, etc.) and recreating it yourself, theoretically for much less $$. Thanks for sharing the linguistic tidbit.
