ReplyDeleteThanks Penny! Yes, it is an amazing story and I've been pondering how to put it in cloth. I love working on this big project and at the same time look forward to start some new little ones.

It's always good to know there is someone to watch over you!

Kaite...thanks! The wattle bird has a very interesting song...later on I'll play it for my doves...it will definitely spice up their day! More on the china piece later also. Plus the whales...it's all part of the "water cycle" and it's very close to done...photo soon!
