Kitsch . . . and even more kitsch

I'm always trying to capture the little robin redbreasts that seem to pop about our garden (all year round it seems!) - but to no avail. I eventually resorted to 'stealing' one of Little S's Xmas decs from the tree, just to get the effect you understand, hehe:) . . .

Here is our little fluffy friend in his 'natural' glittery habitat (he also 'tweets' a little tune when you squeeze him - just thought you'd like to know that!!)

Leading on from kitsch Christmas decs, my 'festive' binding arrived yesterday, and is more 'kitsch' than I had hoped for - it has a gold lurex thread through the tartan which is NOT what I wanted - ah, well it looks like the 'kitsch' theme is following me whether I want it or not! Here it is . . .

. . . never mind, I'm going to enjoy using it for some festive bunting - hope to show you the results later in the week!

Bye for Now :)

Hey Alison, how cute is that little Red Robin?......
I love the English robins they are so different from the Robins that visit here in Winter.

A nice splash of colour on a dull day though........

He looks right at home sitting out in the snow or on a tree branch surrounded by tinsel.

Shame the 'festive' binding isn't quite what you wanted but I am sure it will look fabulous on the bunting.

Hope you had a relaxing weekend,

Claire :}

he is a lovely little robin. I love your festive binding but wouldn't like the gold thread either.

Cute robin!! I'd love to have one in my garden, but I'll have to settle for the blue tits that have nested in my hedge instead!

What a cute birdie!

Mmm, I don't think I'd love the gold either, but hopefully you'll find a way to make it work anyway!
