DIY: Handsewn Bird Mobile

I Don't Need a Bird to Love the Music Cage
Let me start off by saying that this is not a birdcage. Although I wouldn't mind the sound of a little bird tweeting to wake me up in the morning (instead of my annoying alarm clock), this is something way geekier.

Earth, in all of its glory, is full of creatures big and small, brown and white, chirpy and snappy. Adorn walls with a natural wooden mobile, squirrel bookends, and a deco tree stand.

Is This Trend Over?
I've reported extensively on bird motifs in home decor, and I'm wondering if you think that this trend is over, or still alive and well. Regardless, I'm not taking down my favorite bird mobile.

The Scoop: Come Quick . . . The Bird Is Ringing!
Now sometimes I jump when my own phone rings, but imagine jumping when you hear your phone ring, only to realize that it never rang at all!
