I was able to finish this UFO this week. I think my daughter's love of birds is rubbing off on me. I used some of the special bits and pieces that I was saving for "someday".
I hung it over the chair that I use in the family room. Do you do that too....sit in the same chair so that it becomes known as "your" chair?
I used instant coffee to create faux stains and rust marks. 
I even found sheet music to copy that had a bird theme. 
Thanks for stopping by.

Karen, this is really beautiful! I love it!
Very nice. I like the birds as well. I do the same thing with supplies...I save them--save them for what?? I think all crafters do that, have a special stash they keep. Glad you put yours to beautiful use.
