She has seen some winters, our Mother Blue. We were glad to see her arrive this spring and take her place in the Blue Bird Box, albeit looking battered. Her life has been well spent raising countless chicks and singing many summer songs. She has lifted my heart, our Mother Blue.
Mother Blue is made of muslin and other fabrics. She has vintage button eyes and a a lovely piece of vintage lace that falls across her primaries to sheild her from the spring chill in the air. She has a large bell on her tummy, to chase off the neighbor's cat. Mother blue hangs from a piece of waxed linen thread that is sewn to an aqua colored yo-yo. she has been coffee dyed , baked and her dimensions are 5.5 inches long and 4 inches tall without the hanging thread.
