December Visitors in our Yard

These are some of our birds who frequent our feeders daily. We try to keep the squirrels at bay for them.... nothing vicious - just making noise at the windows so they will run off for a bit.

The Little Fur Studio has not been very active in the sewing area lately. Too much painting going on! I haven't sold many of my dresses on Etsy so I closed the shop! I continue to love vintage fashion and still have many more outfits I want to tackle. Someday soon probably! In the meantime - visit my other blogs on blogger listed below to see my painting in progress and visit me on Facebook!
