Spring is Near

I put aside the sweater I’ve been working on, and the Brea Bag that I’m almost finished of, for a while. I don’t think I’ve posted a picture of that yet, actually. Here’s one of the panels:
The front and back are identical, I’ve sewed them together (it was too big with the divider part), I’ve bought a lining and strap and just need to assemble it. It’s Paton’s Canadian yarn in Wedgewood blue.
What I have been working on is eggs, and chicks. I think the chicks turned out better than the eggs, so I’ll post them first:
The pattern is Birds of a Feather by BitterSweet. I did one per evening, maybe two, and embroidered the beak and eyes.
The same designer also made the One Bag Egg pattern. For some reason I could not get my eggs like hers. They’re pointier, and of course I still don’t have safety eyes (I’m going to have to order them). But they’re kind of cute:
I made them with dishcloth cotton, the birds are acrylic.
Love the birds, and the bag, and the eggs! It’s all good! (Although I don’t know that bad eggs are, but hey, it’s made from yarn so it must be good!)
Those chicks are so cute! Also, it is interesting that when I saw the piece of your Brea bag my first thought was Manon! That Norah Gaughan has a distinctive flair.
I love the Brea - very pretty!
