Several months ago, when I was still living in jolly old England, I posted that I wanted to make something that was inspired by the song that The Leopard and I play (or sing) when we're feeling a bit overwhelmed and/or stressed about something. And let me tell you, that song got a fair bit of play in the last few months when we were both unemployed and living in The Leopard's parents' basement. So when I found (and bought) a little 2D wooden chickadee at The Paper Place this Spring, I knew it would be the perfect template for a little paper project.
It was a really simple project, but it took me a couple of months to finish it. The reason it took so long is that I couldn't decide which colour combination of paper to use and kept putting it aside until I felt more decisive. Hence, I now have a few several little birdies to us in other projects. I tried to use paper scraps whenever possible.

I used really cute ribbon made out of threads from Mokuba, another West Queen West institution.
A little bow at the end and we're done!
Now we have a little visual reminder that everything little thing *is* going to be alright! :) I can't wait to hang it up in our new place!
Sweet! I have the same chickadee, covered in paper from the Paper Place, in a set of 5 hanging in my window. They are suspended at different lengths from a sort of suction cup clothesline.

this is so cute! I'm helping my friend decorate a nursery for her bundle which is expected in January. I think we're going for a bird theme (or at least I'm pushing for a bird theme! haha) and this would be perfect!
