Tiny Wonders

You can see from the little embroidered daisy how tiny these two things are. Son 2 found this teeny, tiny little sand dollar whilst sifting sand in the sand pit (yes, at the ages of 11 and 13 they still get an awful lot of fun - scientific and imaginary - in the sand pit).
He brought it in and put it quietly on the sideboard, where I found it some time later. "What's this?" I exclaimed. "I think it's some kind of tiny sea urchin," he correctly replied.

I have never seen anything so miniature.
Son 1 then wandered home from a dog walk with this miniscule jay feather.
Tiny little wonders of creation!

If you're in the magazine swap and haven't yet contacted your partner, you should be able to find all you need in the post below. I've had a few emails to sort out problems - please don't hesitate to contact me if there's anything else to be resolved!

I just love the wonders of creation, large and small. :-) They never stop bringing me pleasure so it is good to see others amazing over them as well.

I haven't heard from my swap partner yet, emailed her yesterday, but it is early days yet.

Oh my goodness, such tiny detail. That dear stitcher must have squinted something terrible.

Pretty finds from nature are definitely best, aren't they.

It's so cute. I can imagine it stitched onto some needle work. Some embroidery threads wrapped over it to secure it in place. The little holes make it look like a button to me. Glad to hear your boys still know how to play - it's so important.
