Easter Blog Hop

Jo at Serendipitous Stitching is hosting this Easter blog hop.

My letter is:


I have chosen to share a picture of one of my favourite cross-stitched birds, a Graham Ross design of a kookaburra. I stitched this kookaburra way back in the 20th century  and it hangs on my loungeroom wall, where I see it every day. I am lucky to have real kookaburras visit my garden regularly, and I often wake up to the sound of the kookaburra's call.



To continue with the Easter blog hop, your next blog to visit is: Mary's

Happy Easter!

    Thanks for taking part in the Easter Blog Hop this year. Great picture for the hop, when we say Spring birdsong the kookaburra is not the first bird that comes to mind in the UK!

    Ahhh, I always wondered what a kookaburra looked like! My mother sang the song to me when I was a child. Have a joyous Easter.

    Nice to have the kookaburra inside and in the garden. Lucky you, sometimes I got the visit of a green woodpecker it's nice too. Thanks for the letter. Joyeuses fêtes de Pâques. xxx

    What a nice picture! It seems so exotic to have kookaburras in your garden! Here in the US, we know the kookaburra in the gumtree song so it is a familiar bird to us even if we have never seen one! Happy Easter!

    A lovely stitched kookaburra in a perfect frame. I have never heard of this bird but it must be a joy to have such a visitor in the garden. Happy Easter and thanks for the letter.

    Thank you for the letter! How lovely to have kookaburras in your garden!
    We occasionally see Greater Spotted Woodpeckers, and Sparrow-hawks, lots of smaller birds too, but not all at the same time!
    Happy Easter!
    Hugs,
    Barbara xx

    Such a sweet little Kookaburra, how wonderful you actually have a real one come visit you! I remember the Kookaburra song from elementary school too.
