Sonya's Little Chickadee

 ***THIS*** has got to be the cutest EVER. I know we keep saying this--and we do believe we've seen the ultimate in 'cute'.  But then a customer brings something like this felted chickadee in to show us!

It's an original by Sonya and made with bits and pieces.  She's used the roving yarn we sell for the Cowichan style sweaters and it's working well, as you can see.

Now she's going to make a blue jay and an owl.  Can't wait to see them.

And Sonya? I just checked Etsy, and spotted a couple of felted chickadees selling for between $32 and $40...just sayin'. (Yours is cuter).
