If I had one item I would like everyone to see which is in my home that means the world to me has got to be my Stork. I have shown photos in my blog posts before but as Romantic Home are posting this event today I'm going to show it again. Here's the link romantichome.blogspot.com
Just for others to know. When my twin daughters were born my family gave me a White Stork which had a lovely display of real flowers. Of course within a few days the flowers died and over the years the paint had started to flake off and the fur started to come unstuck. In fact it all looked pretty unslightly. So a few weeks ago I decided to give it a make-over. I covered the Stork with new fur, gave it an orange beak made out of felt, wound wool around the legs and made it a new body full of ruffles which were crocheted. To top it all I crocheted deep pink carnations, light pink rose buds and green leaves. I'm sure you will agree it is a picture now.
I have always treasured the Stork and I'm pleased now it looks a lot happier than what it did. Here are some photos.
My Stork now.
This is what it looked like before the makeover.

Your stork is so cute! You did a great job of making it over. I love the picture of the stork with your daughters...sweet. Thank you for sharing, and have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat it so cute! It looks so much better now! It's so wonderful that you held on to it for all those years!! Thanks for joining in on Show and Tell!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks even better than it did originally! You did a fantastic job, and I love the sentimentality.
ReplyDeleteI also have twin girls, and they will be 16 in December. They were born at 27 weeks on the dot and were in the NICU for three months exactly. You would never know it now. (I also have two boys now to liven things up!)
Nice to meet you through Show and Tell!
