Dangling birdie

I made this birdie to replace a dangling knitted heart hanging in our back room. The heart was put up in February 2010 when we had our Valentine's pancake party. The kiddies have loved pulling and swinging it over the months. It was looking a little tatty and with a potential house sale looming it was time for something new.

The pattern is from the wonderful Attic 24 website. There are loads of great patterns on the website and it has really helped me get to grips with crochet.
