Anyhoo, here's my work for this afternoon. It's hot off the Q-Snaps (like, literally 2 minutes ago that I put the last stitch in! :P). I was lazy and used a button for the birds, but I like the way it turned out. I will probably stitch this again, and when I do, I will probably stitch the birds in the nest. :)
