The eyes!
I got the center ready for its picture and figured "with all that handwork, I do not think Miss Bev would appreciate my leaving the wrinkles in" so over to my ironing board I toddle.
I am ironing away, feeling very satisfied that I have done no harm, when all of a sudden!
I notice that the birds have little black eyes.
hmmm .... I do not remember hearing the iron clicking on anything, and I frantically grab the little birds' heads to see if I have ruined something!
I feel that the plastic beads don't seem to be damaged, but they don't seem to be beads, either!
Hmmm ....
Can you imagine my relief when I turn the piece over and find that the birds' eyes are actually French knots !?!?!?
Now, you would think that if I know a french knot when I see it, that I would be a little more confident about what I think I know .... but, I am telling you! I almost had a heartattack, thinking I had wrecked the eyes of the blue birds, when those are my favorite parts of the center!
Thankfully, my panic didn't become full blown until after I realized I hadn't done anything wrong ... <g>
