Well it is that time of the year again and my wife has me busy making up these again! She is going to be in a craft fair “thingie” this coming weekend and she is setting up a booth to sell her beaded jewelry that she makes and asked me to make up a dozen of Betty’s hummingbirds to sell. My wife rolls and makes up her own beads for her earrings and bracelets and has them in a couple of stores and a friend of her’s asked her to set up a booth at the mall.

Here is a link, for the new members who may not be aware of it, to the hummingbird that Betty shared with us a few years back and it has been a favorite every year for us. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/112706fotw.php

Here are some pictures of what I have made up so far:

Thanks so much for sharing this pattern, Betty and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!

Thank you, Warren! I certainly was surprised by this post!

Your hummies look great!

I got mine back out this morning. Thanks again, Betty! The one I have in my Christmas ornament is red, but Betty also made one for us in pure white that was the centerpiece of my wife’s bouquet at our wedding. Too cool!

Betty is pretty darned sweet (as well as pretty) for a Swamp Witch.
(BTW, the meal worms were delicious. Thanks!)
