I'm talking about the birds I made as favors for the last Bible study luncheon of the year! It's always a big deal because we usually meet for luncheons once a month with our small group and only twice a year as an entire group. This time it's a free-for-all, decorate however you like. The pressure is on (even though the leaders all say don't worry about it) to make a beautiful table. And my added goal is for it to be CHEAP.
Somehow out of our Joshua/Judges study I got a bird/birdhouse theme in my head from the verse, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord," Joshua 24:15. I found this free pattern for birds on SPOOL, some fabric in my daughters scraps, and I was off making turquoise and gold birds! I wanted to add the scripture on them so I ended up sewing them onto sticks from my yard, and they just came to life! Add to that some borrowed bird cages and pretty table ware and I did it for $12. Mission accomplished!
Here's some more ideas for interesting tables from the luncheon:

I hope you continue making these birds (hint hint: Family Homemade Gifts for Christmas :) The table was beautiful! Great job!
I always love going in there to look at the table decorations! I had no idea that table was yours! Those are some fabulous birdies!
What lovely tables. Precious birdies! Now, go take a rest after all that loving, hard work! Blessings!
You are so talented. And wonderful. Love you!
When I was teaching SSS I always loved to sneek in and see what was done.
