A little bird, with plumage brown,
Beside my window flutters down,
A moment chirps its little strain,
Then taps upon my window-pane
--Paul Lawrence Dunbar
Yesterday I noticed these love birds sitting on my balcony railing, warming each other to shun the rain drops from their plumes. My daughter captured this moment and the idea of the birdie series came to me. I thought of making small gift items with chubby birds.
This red one can sit independently and can be hung as a car mobile.
The fat sparrow was grabbed immediately by my daughter and she fixed it to her key ring. Not a bad idea!
I have a plan to make a whole line of birdies with printed fabric to use as wind chime. See, those young sparrows gave me such an inspiration.

During my stay in the US, I had made a laptop cover for my elder daughter. I did a light embroidery on the pocket of the cover. I found the fabric in my fat-quarter stash.
The second attempt at making a laptop cover for my younger daughter was a nice try. I did an elaborate embroidery of two dancing figures sketched by her.
I love making these kind of bags to serve all purposes. Hope to make many more for all needs.
The last is this remaining CD coaster. I have used quilt pieces on it. See, how bright it looks
I think monsoon brings lazy afternoons for everybody. So take out your magic-box and create some potion to change the dull time of the season.
