I seem to go in phases with themes - last year, I stitched quite a lot of strawberries. Currently, it seems to be bunnies. And earlier this year, I had a thing for a week or two about blackbirds!
This was a super quick stitch - I did most of it during one evening at a local stitch and bitch group. Most of the other girls knit, but I'm not a big knitter - it puts too much stress on my arms and shoulders and really increases the pins and needles feeling that is my permanent companion anyway.
I stitched this using Gentle Arts Sampler Threads and added beads for the corn the blackbirds are eating, rather than stitches.
I'm either going to frame this, or make it into a pinkeep, I think.

I love that little design. I'm gonna have to find it. Using beads as the corn was a nice touch.
I love the design, and your substitution of beads is inspired!
Very cute finish Nic! I love blackbirds. They nest every year in our conifer hedge and I love watching them.
