| A selection of #BrilliantBirds |
The Brilliant Birds in the Yarnstorm in Rowntree Park, York, really were brilliant and we had loads of positive feedback about them. However, all good things come to an end so on Monday, Deborah New & I, with Lily's help, took them all down.
It went from this....

 |
| all packed up again! |

| the tennis court fence no longer has a tree growing up it... |

| and the birds have flown |
in a few hours with not nearly as much rain as when we put them up!
The Brilliant Birds go on sale on Saturday 26 August 2017 at the St Leonards Hospice Shop, 5 Scarcroft Road, York, YO23 1ND - do go and buy some - it's a great charity to support. If you can't re-home a bird but still want to support the project you can donate online to St Leonard's Hospice here - please mention Brilliant Birds.
You can still check out the #brilliantbirds on social media (twitter, facebook or instagram).
If you want to read more about the project, the details are here. Click on the links for information about the workshops we held at Olive's Nest, Rowntree Park Cafe, The Golden Ball and The Winning Post. Or if you want to see our mention in Craft & Design Magazine click here. However if your interest is more craft based you may want to check out the Brilliant Bird Patterns, read about the hula hoop woven birds, the big knitted owl or even extreme knitting a tree. You may also be inclined to read about the exploits of the Fairfax Court Yarnstormers - they have been great supporters of our yarnstorming projects since we began! And finally you may want to hear about the yarnstorm being installed on a very wet day in June - that's here.
Now don't forget that date for your diary - Saturday 26 August 2017 - #buyabird and support St Leonard's Hospice!
