Pins & Needles will be entering 2 birdhouses. One of which will be knit and the other needlepoint. Beth, Anne and I were in charge of the needlepoint. This only seemed fitting because we all like to needlepoint and Anne has a soft spot in her heart for birds. How many birds does Anne have now...8 or 9? The birdhouse was first made out of plywood and then we made templates to fit the sides, grass, and roof. After we stitched till our fingers were sore, Beth began to add embellishments. She thought, the more "stuff" the better and I could not agree more
At first, we were very sceptical about the whole idea. However, as the idea took shape, we grew more and more pleased with ourselves (we have to toot our own horns.....right?)
It was well worth the endless days and nights of stitching on nothing but the birdhouse. Just don't tell us if it doesn't get any bids.
Thanks, Beth and Anne, great teamwork! I hope the Princeton Housing Community has a successful auction.PS... I'm sure you are curious to now what the knitted birdhouse will look like, well, we are too.
When Kathleen unveils her creativity, I will hopefully be able to share it with you.

How creative and adorable! I love birdhouses and nests.
That is awesome and for a great cause to boot!
Great post, Shelly! Who would have thought that you could needlepoint a birdhouse? It looks great and I'm sure will get plenty of bids. Good luck with the auction. I'll be looking for photos of the knitted birdhouse.
That is so cool and what a great idea. It turned out lovely, lucky birds!
