BRIDES TREE SAL for MAY

The Brides Tree SAL challenge for• May: Bird or Bird in a nest - happiness and/or joy, confidence in the shelter

 I have chosen one NZ small native birds Yellow Breasted Tit. This tiny bird is found in the forrest on the South Island.The design is from a Maree Garstang leaflet " More NZ Birds and Flowers", I have had the chart for many years and although I have stitched it once before this time it is for me. Stitched on 35 count Permin linen with DMC Threads, I chose not to stitch the blue in the background.
