oh...the dreaded first comment...What I love most about spring is the smell of the citrus trees blooming in my backyard...and planting my garden.
ReplyDeleteoh...the dreaded first comment...What I love most about spring is the smell of the citrus trees blooming in my backyard...and planting my garden.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and have enjoyed your cruise photos.
ReplyDeleteyes, you are crazy to take on completing 47 nests...but I hope mine is one of those 47! Or am I in the next group?
ReplyDeleteAfter the long cold winters Spring is a much loved blessing!
ReplyDeleteI love the new beginnings...
new grass, new flowers, a new season, sunshine, birds singing, walking bare foot,the smell of fresh cut grass and after a rainfall. Those are just a few things I love about spring!
Smiles,
Dolly
BRILLIANT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply mermaid heaven nests!
Am in pure love!!!
And as for Curacao... there over 25 years ago..
but beautiful....

what i love about spring.. is just the beginning of new life.. hearing the birds singing.. the little buds pushing out of the garden.. and even hearing the rain on the roof.. such comforting sounds...
ReplyDeletehappy spring to all :)
big ladybug hugs
lynn
I so look forward to your new posts, I anxiously wait to see your new nests! Wonderfull!!
ReplyDeleteHurrah, another chance to win one of your stunning nests. Have to admit to trying before and failing miserably, lol, but hey, perhaps this time is my time. Thank you so much for offering such a beautiful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course I am follower, a drooling one every time I see one of your nests.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I love about Spring? Hmm, so many things, but especially all the different shades of greens everywhere you look. From the lightest yellowy green tiny leaves to the richest deep greens, there are so many beautiful shades to admire. We were driving through the French countryside last week in beautiful sunshine and I am sure my son thought I was totally bonkers constantly shouting out " just look at those beautiful greens, such gorgeous colours! "
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you are mad to take on 47 nests, lol, but who wants to be totally sane? Boring! I just try and imagine the range of your feelings right now, the sense of accomplishment, the relief of having finished this mammoth task..... are you starting to miss the feel of the needles and the yarns already???
ReplyDeleteHi dearest Vicki,
ReplyDeleteas alwayes they are like a dream, your nests,--and so many---how are your arms, and fingers sweet ? :)
Your little corner in your garten looks so absolutely beautiful, and for the jewel birds I can only say :LOVE THEM--
As I`m the most happy owner of two nests, I will not be in your drawing, but I wish everyone else the best of luck-you will love to hold Vicki`s sweet nest in your hands.
Happy spring dear, and big hugs.
Dorthe
Spring...what do i love about it? I love that I can warm my bare arms in the warm sunshine (when it decides to be warm and sunny here in Lincolnshire).
ReplyDeleteI would cut off my left pinky-toe for one of those nests!
I am a follower, too!
ReplyDeleteand 47 nests? I cannot even commit myself to making 6 ATCs these days. Way to go! You may indeed be crazy, but your work is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOoooo! What I like most about Spring is the Robins hopping around in my yard and FLOWERS growing!! Is there anything else like it?!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm a regular follower of yours and I just had to come back to tell you how great I thought that opening poem was!! :-] You know I'm a poet...and I was impressed with you! Just talented 'all over the place'! Yes you are! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things I love about spring ,but the one of the first ,is hearing the frogs singing!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and really enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I love about spring? NO SNOW!!! THAT'S what I love the most. After that, seeing those beautiful little green shoots coming up through the dead leaves of the year before has to be tops. The little kittens coming out on the pussy willow branches is a biggie too. Of course, there is also the appearance of some of the most beautiful nests I have ever seen that heralds the arrival of spring.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a follower of yours. Happy Spring.
ReplyDelete47 nests....phew.....queen of the nest builders for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt just wouldn't be right for me to win yet another nest so, if Maddy Dear pulls my name, just pretend it didn't happen. I do wish to tell you thought that you are not numb and you are not dumb ... you just love to knit beautiful nests. My favorite Springtime love is the newness, the freshness and the happiness I feel surrounded by blue skies, sunshine, green grass, buds, flowers and chirping birds.
ReplyDeleteOf course I will post about your contest......
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki ~ my favorite thing about spring is mulch! Yep...I love the fresh smell of mulch around all my flower beds. I order a huge dump truck load, and it takes me awhile to get it all spread. This year I haven't started because another thing I love about spring is white picket fences...and I've been frantically painting mine--it's taking awhile!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower, too!
ReplyDeleteHi knitting Vicki! You are amazing...and yes, a little crazy to knit all those beautiful nests! And I know all the recipients will love theirs!
ReplyDeleteVicki, another fabulous nest, oh my you are so full of energy....wow! 47 nests!!!!! I love the birds, they are gorgeous, and the tea towel is stunning!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more of your holiday, I loved reading the last post and those photos are so wonderful!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B

Spring means "hope" to me. It's a beginning of warm days, neighbors stopping by, seeds popping,and best of all the laughter of children playing outside. No inside voices needed anymore.
ReplyDeleteOh Vicki I would just love to be the winner of one of your nest they are beyond beautiful...I love "SPRING" because of the new life it brings, the sweet,crisp fresh air the beautiful,fragrant flowers to look at ,it's just a whole new beginning of what God has given us to nurture and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHugz
Sandy
I would love to own one of your nests as well! Please enter me in the drawing and then pick my name ~ lol. Connie
ReplyDeleteI am a follower :-D I forgot to tell you what I love about spring. That would be everything - the birds singing, the trees budding, the flowers revealing themselves through the earth's surface, and the weather and how good it makes me feel, just to name some.
ReplyDeletegorgeous as always. oh my...they always leave me speechless vicki! (Now...onto a certain other theme you have in mind? :) J'adore these sweet and breathtaking creations. would LOVE to have a spring one of my own. I love "Le Printemps" because it is when everything comes back to life: nature....and my soul.
ReplyDeletei am a happy follower! :)
ReplyDeleteHi my dear Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI cant stop - jump there I am to join in your giveaway - you know I love your nests.... and I will post about it.
2.) I follow your since I found you *lol*
3.) The tea towel is simply wonderful
4.) You definitely are crazy to knit over fourty nests (but I can understand everybody who wants his own little treasured nest...)
5.) What I love about spring - every single thing - the nature waking up, the birds singing like crazy, the colour, the feeling - its such a good feeling to know winter has gone *sigh*.
Love & kisses
Myriam
Oh Vicki, those nests are so beautifull ,that you made so many is a fete in itself and you are not crazy just very talented and ......well yes crazy. Love your pictures of the daffodils in your garden, they remind me of the Lake District in England, what I love about spring is the spring flowers and the feeling of rebirth (being a labour and delivery nurse.),the earth refreshes itself once a year and its my favourite time of the year. Love this site, thanks ,Lynne
ReplyDeleteI love your nests and your incredible talent yes and your craziness to make so many,,,,also I love the pictures of your daffodils in the garden.They remind me of spring in the Lake District in England. I love the feeling of re-birth in the spring time ( I am a labour and delivery nurse),its like the earth is refreshing itself and it gives us all hope. Thanks for your blog Vicki, carry on creating..Lynne
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite parts of spring are the lovely fresh clean smells that drift in from an open window.
ReplyDeleteI also love the longer days and blooming bulbs.
Thanks for this generous give away!

Even here in Florida spring is different. Spring also brings us more rain. The grass and trees look so much happier for it. The Jasmine blooms *mmmmmmmm* and so do the orange trees, *achoo*. (And believe me, the fragrance of the orange blossoms definilty outweighs the stuffy, runny nose and sore throat the pollen gives me if I'm not taking my claritin) I love that the days are getting noticibly longer and that it is warm enough to go to the beach again. It reminds me that renewal can happen anytime, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most about Spring is that first warm-ish day when I can open all the windows in my house and hear the birds singing :)
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI blogged about the giveaway! http://calledtocreativity.blogspot.com/2011/04/giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize!! My favorite part of spring is the awakening of nature. The birds sing happier, the trees earn their leaves, and the flowers sprout their buds. (And it's not yet 100 degrees here in TX!)
ReplyDeleteYou were totally crazy to make all these nests! Haha And I would be just as crazy! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower! (I can't tell if I already was one or just signed up - but either way, I'm in there!)
ReplyDeleteI AM a follower....wouldn't miss keeping up with your life!
ReplyDeleteSo enter my name! I love those nests!
And here I am again.....
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about Spring? BIRDS!!! They leave our town at 8,000' every Fall and it's so QUIET here all winter. Now the Red-headed Finch's are back in full force/the bluebirds are nesting/the robins are chirping!
You are not nuts...you are dedicated! The nests are so pretty and I'm a fan of fiber (I have a ton of it myself), so can appreciate the tactile nests. And those birds....to die for!
ReplyDeleteOk, here is my 3rd entry.
I have all my limbs crossed!
Hugs
Jan
Ciao Vicki :)
ReplyDeleteYour "Spring Nesting" ex "Winter" ;) is sooo similar to "Twilight" movie when Edward & Bella are on a leaf green full of wonderful & colorful flowers...
I'm a fan of this Saga :))
Anyway, your nest is simply gorgeous!
Hugs & Smiles,
Mila :)
Just beautiful as usual! And those jeweled birds are to die for. I just can't wait to see your autumn nests - be sure to put me on the list for one of them - I just love fall colors. The original nest I got from you is still in my studio waiting for me to make a little birdie to put in it - one of these days LOL And don't you just love Anthropolgie? I could stay in there looking for hours. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteOf course you aren't crazy - exactly LOLOLOL I don't know if I could do that many of one thing all in a row though. Looking forward to more photos. I remember when I was a kid my grandfather had some kind of job in Curacao for awhile - he loved it down there.
ReplyDeleteMy response would have to be what is there NOT to like about spring. A time of renewal, new birth and the coming of life from all that is bare and grey. I always look forward to the wood poppies blooming, that is supposed to be the sign that all freezing weather has passed.
ReplyDeleteDeb
I am a faithful follower! Love every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteDeb
Now it is not the fact you created 47 nests that I find crazy. It is the fact you created 47 nests AND were looking forward to mowing the grass that I find crazy. You must be like a little energizer bunny!
ReplyDeleteDeb
You do amazingly creative work! I can't believe how gorgeous your little nests are! And yes...you must be crazy..to make 47 of them!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki
ReplyDeleteI would really love to join your give away again, maybe I´m lucky this time :-)
What I love about springtime is, temperatures rising, sun gets up earlier, farmers working outside, hanging my laundry outside, staying a LOT more outside, knitting outside...and I could go on,I just love springtime.
Hi Vicki
ReplyDeleteI´m a follower and I love those little birds nests. The colurs you use are my favorite.
Kis

Kis
Last comment from me :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are really a little crazy, making so many nests. But They are so beautiful and I would really love to win both the lovely tea towel and nest.
Have a nice day
Kis
Woould love to add this nest to the one I have,, they are so gorgeous..They remind me of the blue birds nest we had in out back yard when we were living in upstate NY..
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about spring is to hear the birds singing in the mornings.. and to have the windows open and smell the fresh spring air coming into the house.
ReplyDeleteSpring -- I love the flowers -- period.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway -- what a treat!
Greetings from Southern California
ReplyDeleteI added myself to follow your blog.

God bless you and have a nice day :-)
I think these are the best nests yet...and so many!! I just love them!! They keep getting better.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this one....I like anything to do with birds...could it be because my name is Robin??
Im a follower too.
ReplyDeleteI love spring for the flowers and their fragrance. Everything is in bloom.
Robin
Oh, what I love most about spring is when it is watching all the birds returning from their winter habitats and starting their nests. And it finally being warm enough to go out with a light jacket or sweater and putter in the garden among the emerging plants.
ReplyDeleteYour nests are gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway!
Helen
Another thing I love about spring is hunting for Morel mushrooms. It's like an Easter egg hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your give away!
Helen
Oh, besides being a follower (thus the two previous posts) I have mentioned your give away on my blog. http://hhcampbell.blogspot.com. Hope it helps get a few more followers for you.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Helen
P.S. I think you were a bit nuts.. okay mostly bonkers, to create 47 nests! Although if you really love making them, it's probably not as crazy as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Helen
I love your nests!! Beautiful! I love spring riding around with my husband on his motorcycle and smelling the orange blossoms!
ReplyDeleteI just posted about your beautiful giveaway on my blog!

wow! 47 nests! Can't imagine how much work that was. but they are so gorgeous! but yes, you were probably crazy to commit to it, crazy in a good way! the tea towel is adorable too.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I love your nest creations! Spring to me means blossoms on the trees and when the float down it looks like a wedding celebration!!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a follower of your lovely blog!!
ReplyDeleteI always think of spring as a new beginning - for the plants that didn't do so well last year, as well as myself - starting a new diet that I might actually stick to or whatever else didn't work well over the winter. Love your little bird nests - am a true follower, but don't have a blog.
ReplyDeleteLove spring for the promise of new beginnings! Love your birds nests and am a follower, but don't have a blog. Love reading about your exciting trips.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a good eye for color.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your photo's of Spring!! I am so ready here! When i look at your gorgeous nests I am so happy i have mine! So much work in everyone one. Love the sweet sparkly birds! Beautiful blog post as always!you know i am a follower!!

ReplyDeleteHaving fresh flowers in my house makes me smile.. thank you Spring for providing them! And thank you Vicki for continuing this work of love. So much joy is realized because of your work!
ReplyDeleteYour pics of warmer weather are gorgeous.. and 'thank you' to the Gardner as well!! Glad to know your nesting is complete.. so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love spring because a new mix if birds returns to my feeder. But to be toyally honest my favorite season is winter.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of these. Such a lot of love has gone into this creation.
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoyed the creation of these nests and I think you did, then no you are not crazy.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie says-
ReplyDeleteMy love of spring is that I feel extremely lucky to be enjoying another spring and the warmth and the sunshine with friends. During this year two friends will not have the pleasure and it does make my realise how precious every minute is.
how lovely to read your blog on your holiday, the pictures are amazing.
What I love best about spring is the smell...you can feel the newness in the air.
ReplyDeleteJude
I love to watch the birds in the spring.
ReplyDeleteJude
Spring is the "rebirth" of everything or maybe the awakening of nature after a long winter nap. Even with me, makes me perk up and get fresh ideas flowing. And if that doesn't perk me up, then these precious (no you are not crazy for creating them)nests do it for me! So much thought and time put into them. Very much appreciated!!! Absolutely love them!!!
ReplyDeleteSpring is the rebirth of nature. An awakening of nature after a long winter nap. Gets fresh ideas flowing in my mind. And if Spring doesn't get me going, these nests do, just gorgeous and inspiring. So appreciative of the time spent, and your creative talent.
ReplyDeleteThe bird nests are fabulous! So glad I found your blog! My favorite thing about spring is warm weather and flowers. chedeb5353@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI follow on GFC and would love to win!! chedeb5353@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI think you are crazy for taking on such a large task as making 47 nests!! chedeb5353@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteYour nests are extraordinarily gorgeous. Congrats on making 47 of them. That is an achievement! What I like most about spring is it is the time the earth reawakens. The flowers bloom and the birds return. Everything is bathed in beauty. Thanks for the opportunity. Theresa
ReplyDeleteOh how I have been lusting after one of your breathtaking handknit nests. This one must be meant for me as April 12th is Mr. C's birthday and May 25th is my dear departed Mother's birthday and she would be swooning over your nests.
ReplyDeleteSpring for me means renewed life, nature, energy, creating art and a fresh start after the long dreary winter.
Thank you for this opportunity to covet one of your fabulous nests.
Now I am returning because I simply must have another opportunity to be selected to give your beautiful nest a very good home. I have followed your blog and your travels and your nests for some time. Thank you again. Happy weekend...
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness,I just spent a half hour on your cruise pictures-they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about Spring---Everything! Especially after the last winter, it was brutal!
I love your nests so much! Please pick me!
Hugs,
Sherry
Ouch...47 nests in one lot is an enormous undertaking. However you did it and somehow I think you will be ready when the time comes for you to create the next lovely lot of breathtaking nests. Your summer series with the seashells was stunning also. Oh how I desire to have one of your creations. Thank you once again.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am a follower! The Gardener's turtle pics are excellent and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSherry
Spring reminds me of "rebirth"...everything is starting over...flowers sprout from the ground, leaves bud, bird nests are built & eggs are layed....Easter reminds us of Our Risen Savior..
ReplyDeleteYour nest is so beautiful...your talents are definitely God given.
Blessings, Tiff
I am a new follower & loved browsing your blog. Tiff
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you made 47 nests! I'd never want to see another one if I had done that!
ReplyDeleteSherry
What i love most about the spring -
ReplyDeleteThe fresh pure air, holding a promise of renewal, of second chances and new beginnings.
The chirping of birds - busy, busy, busy. And bees buzzing and butterflies flying.
The soft sweet flowers peeking from their buds, timid at first, but courage building, breaking free and bursting forth.
This is spring - and what I love most.
Jan of Fursdon House
Follower I am - of one of the most unique expressions of art I've seen in a very, very long time!
ReplyDeleteLove and Blessings, Jan
Crazy? Of course you're crazy! That's the best thing about you! Besides, just think how boring "normal" would be!!
ReplyDeleteMay God Bless, Jan
Vicki, Now, I've gone and posted a link on my blog. Thanks for your generousity!
ReplyDeleteSherry
Back again! Just posted about your spring giveaway on my own blog. I'm still amazed with these nests! Absolutely fabulous! Take a nice rest now, to gear up for the next go-around! :) Jan
ReplyDeleteI am awestruck by the beauty of your knitted nest. They are spectacular creations and would love to own one. Please enter me in your draw. Penny
ReplyDeleteCrazy of course you are, but what a sense of acheivement. When I was younger I preferred winter the crispness and the dark cozy nights. However now that I am older time seems more important and Spring is that much more welcome with the longer days. Why does the beauty of nature seem to grab you more when you get older? Simple spring flowers like the primula and cowslip are now amongst my very favorite flowers. Fingers crossed a exquisite nesty comes my way
ReplyDeleteI am a regular follower too, looks like all your other followers are here too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love the Fresh life of spring feels like a new begining.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Oh how I have missed your posts while we were away! Good heavens I can't imagine making 47 of anything Vicki! You are so giving to actually offer up another one of your beautiful creations. I much prefer the spring daffodils right now in your images since we still have a tiny amount of snow left in the shady nooks around here. Spring will be a welcome sight when it finally comes for us! Those bejeweled birdies are so precious too. Do you ever rest up your little fingers, you are amazing! xo ~Lili
ReplyDeleteHi Hope one of the nice are mine ,I have not heard from you ,Wish we had flower here it is still cold Laura
ReplyDeleteAll your nests are so gorgeous, but the one you are giving away is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say what I like best about spring. Being an advid gardner, I love that I can plant again and watch all the plants wake up from winter.
And I can't believe thatyou made 47 nests. I can't wait till fall to get mine!!
Vicki you have outdone yourself with this beautiful nest! It is lovely!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in your giveaway.

I am a follower already. The thing I love most about Spring is that everything is so fresh and new after the gray, cold months of winter. I just posted about our winds here in southeastern Washington and how ready I am for Spring!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this wonderful nest.
xo, Karen
Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI must say that I am amazed that you knitted 47 nests in such a short period of time. The work you put into them is phenomenal! Crazy...nah! Dedicated, yes!
I will post about your giveaway on my blog this Tuesday and will leave a comment when I do.
xo, Karen
It's so hard to pick a favorite part of Spring unless I just say "the flowers!" The fragrance of hyacinths might be a more singular choice. I really enjoy your blog and think your nests are just amazing!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can bring myself to say that you were crazy to commit to making 47 nests! Maybe just a little screwy!?! But, don't you feel good that you did now that they're done?!? I'm impressed and inspired!
ReplyDeleteI love spring! New life, budding flowers and trees, and feeling the warm sun once again. I am so excited to have a chance at winning one of your gorgeous nests. You are so talented Vicki.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! There's so many comments here I feel a little lost.... but I'm in springy heaven right now. If you check out my blog you can see how obsessed I've been about all the beautiful changes that are happening. My favorite springy thing to do is take nature walks, discover hidden clumps of bluebells, watch the robins hopping about, and working on my current springtime hooked rug. I've admire your nests from afar for quite awhile. It's so generous of you to include one in a giveaway. And the tea towel is just the cutest!

Oh dear! I don't feel right telling you you're "crazy". But, it does seem like an awfully big challenge to keep track of all these comments and give away such beautiful prizes. But, I'm very glad that you're not only generous to do this, but a tad bit crazy also! Well.... crazy in a good way...

I rarely enter give aways, because I just can't see them in my home...however, your nest is a thing of beauty. I'm so glad Dulcy let me know about your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I love best about spring is that the sparrows are back and busily building their condo of nests on our sunporch...watching them tend their nests and catch bugs and sing their songs makes my heart sing.
How unbelievably gorgeous are your nests! I adore them! My favorite thing about Spring has to be the beauty of the tulips and daffodils pushing through the soil to announce Spring is here! Megan supermeg1718 at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your nests! How ingenious a creation! I love everything about Spring! The smell of the green grass, the flowers, the birds chirping! Susan purrpage3 at verizon dot net

Your nests are absolutely beautiful, would love a chance to win one. My favorite thing about Spring is the tree frogs singing their song and all green popping out.

ReplyDeleteI posted about your giveaway on my blog, so would love a third chance to win.

You are not crazy, just determined. I admire you for getting them all done. I just love them.

Congrats on your winning the Peter Rabbit banner!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about spring- I look forward to the reawakening of the trees and plants, the births of baby animals, and warmer weather so that I can take long walks on the greenway paths our city has.
I look forward to seeing the crocuses in my garden. They are always the first flowers to bloom and help convince me that spring really is arriving!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower of your blog!

Spring is awakening to me. The birds are having babies, the squirrels are flitting, flowers are blooming, everything is greening up. Spring brings hope. I would love to have one of your wonderful nests. They are amazing!!!

ReplyDeleteSondra
I am sure that you are not crazy....obsessed maybe, but not crazy. But when you start creating it is sometimes hard to stop. And as I scroll through the pictures each nest is different from the next. You are an artist!!!

Your nests are so AWESOME! I love them...What I love most about spring are the new flowers...the smells and the awesome greenhouses full of flowers.
ReplyDeleteVicki, the nests are so beautiful-you have so much talent. The tea towel is also darling. The daffodils are such a sign of spring.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers that are blooming in the springtime.
Have a lovely eve.
Hi Vicki,
ReplyDeletethank your for your nice comment about my bunnies. The children love them and I have to produce one after the other *lol*. I look at that magnolia when i look out my kitchen window - isn`t it beautiful. I love it. Always thinking of you when I have my latte. Hugs & kisses Myriam
