Bird Love

I can't remember where I saw this idea, but it was this little bird pillow. Think Twitter bird, except soft and squishable. My room is mostly abstract/modern but it has some natural influences too. The picture above my bed is a kinda quirky branch/leaf painting. The colors of my room (brown, green, gold) are obviously natural colors too. I'm trying to balance the funky/modern look with a nerdy/vintage feel and the whimsy/fun natural designs. A lot to attempt!
I was inspired to carry out my idea after seeing these dinosaur pillows from See Kate Sew. I'm not a fan of dinosaurs, but seeing all the different patterns and ideas made me think of how much I could do with a simple bird pattern.
I plan to have a tutorial here this week, but I'll start with some pictures of the birds I've done so far. I found this really neat branch that I'm going to hang on the wall and my sister had an old birds nest she gave me to put in it too, so that's going to be uber-cute with my birds.

It makes me inexplicably happy to see my bird contentedly sitting in her nest. 

And this one is reversible! 

This one has a coarser/tweedy fabric that I think is really cute. 

Doesn't this make you want to sew your own bird?!
