Jane,

Your birds are so lovely, and I love, love, love Bob's ear and denim toenail.

But, oh my goodness! Your own waltz! Violin ribs! Toasted marshmallow style mushrooms!

So much goodness. Thank you for all you share!

Thanks for the link to Duncan Chisholm, his violin has such a beautiful tone - and your birthday waltz sounds like the most wonderful gift

A lovely October Jane! I agree with your top three bird choices, especially little Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (what a name!) But surely there must be a special mention for Red-Tailed Hawk!?

Be Bold Bob looks so wonderful and I do love a bit of needlecord! Can't wait to see the book and your Bob creation! : ) x

I love that you recreate your characters as 3d dolls Jane ! They are truly wonderful and the children must totally absorb your stories when you visit . So much in this newsletter to respond to - much admiration for both your fiddling and fiddle making too .

Congratulation on completing your Birdtober, Jane! My favourite is the burrowing owl. And I'm looking forward to meet Bob! It seems you had another fun and creative month.
