Made some more - (and they're out the door!)

Twelve done - and fifteen more to go! (That's almost halfway-right?)

Just wanted to share some

pictures of the

latest

little bird nests

that were just finished.

In addition to the beautiful yarns,

these little nests

contain

bits of shredded paper,

ribbons,

and

twine fragments.

They each have little

leaf beads

that

dangle

down

the

front.

I counted as I made these nests

and was shocked to

discover

that each nests

contains

over 40

different yarns!

It was very windy here today

and taking these

pictures

was a real

challenge!

I caught one little nest
as the wind
picked it up
and
took it for a
ride!


They are so beautiful,
I almost hate to
see them go!

Recently, I received an email
from someone who
wanted to know
if
these little nests
could be used outside
for real birds~~~
so here is my disclaimer~~~
these little nests
are designed
for
decorative purposes
only.
(although, I am sure that some little bird would just love to live in one!)



Here they are, packed up
and ready to go
on their little
travels.
~~~
These little nests are traveling to
Germany,
Denmark,
New York,
Georgia,
and
Arizona
~~~



The weather these past few days
has been just
splendid!
So
I decided to move
the bird nest
assembly station
to my
front porch!
So Wonderful

to feel the

breezes !!!

On our recent trip to Atlanta,
I was lucky enough
to shop at
three
wonderful yarn shops!!!
~~~
These are my "green" purchases
for use
in the
little nests.
~~~
Those of you who purchased
bird nests-
will most certainly
see these
beautiful yarns
again!
~~~
(Don't anyone tell the gardener ---
there is almost $150 worth of beautiful yarns in this bowl!)
Shhhhh!
Top Secret!

My newest little find ---
just perfect for little bird nests.
These lovely little bluebird eggs
are really
"Bunny mix" M&M's.
(On sale now - if you can find them!- for about 75% off!
Aren't they wonderful?

~~~

I hope you are enjoying this wonderful and oh so welcome spring weather!
