Pretty-in-Pink Galahs!

Happy Feathursday! Galahs (Eolophus roseicapilla) are common all over Australia. This avian illustration is signed by John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter for Gould’s Birds of Australia, Vol. 5 (1848).

It's nearly the end of sunflower season in my yard, but these visitors are going to enjoy every last minute of it.

They're pink and grey galahs and do not give any fucks about me or my cat coming outside to stretch our legs and greet the sun in the morning.

While my hand has been strained from too much knitting, crochet and spinning I thought I'd FINALLY finish my sewing project (a craft that doesn't require my poor hand to be a claw shape the whole time) This super cute skirted jumper and matching mask is now done, and I can free up my single craft table for some more weaving now!
