OMG, you have me drooling all over the place already! The colours are so delicious, I am so looking forward to the great reveal!

Hi!!!!!!I can't wait to see more.....
Dearest Vicki,
I am so excited to see the nests in their entirety. These beautiful images were sooooooooooooooo enticing and too much of a tease! :) Your creations are extraordinarily beautiful!!!! What a fabulous shower gift they will make!
I do hope you are enjoying fair weather. We are readying for our first great storm of the season. We are promised winds, quarter-sized hail, thunder and lightening, and perhaps, twisters! YIKES! Not a bird is chirping on this unusually still morning ... surely, it is the calm before the storm!
I. CAN'T. WAIT. I want to see them all finished!!!!
Oh my dear Vicki you are such a tease! But at least you gave us a sneak peak. Oh my those embroidered and beaded half moons are so exquisite and of course I can't wait to see all that gorgeous yarn embellished like only you can do! I will be patiently awaiting to hear and see more about these charming twinkle twinkle nests. xoxo ~Lili
Those little yellow beaded moons took my breath away! What a treasured keepsake these are sure to become. Indeed each child brought into this world, so fresh from God, is a star. Thank you for your imagination, creativity and willingness to give beyond yourself by creating these nests for charity.

You're such a tease! Can't wait to see and read more about this new project. Cheers! Elaine

Dear Vicki
This all looks too wonderful for words~ I am happiest when creating things and I can see you love that too. You have a wonderful giving spirit Vicki. I look forward to seeing the unveiling! Every embellishment looks perfect.
Your day at the Island of Curacao has left me yearning for a walk through those streets and markets. Maybe oneday my Mr Darcy and I can wonder around hand in hand....
Love to you

Just beautiful and what an excellent preview! I love the yarns, embellishments, well, everything. I can't wait to see how you put it all together!
Take care, xo, Karen
This is such a beautiful post-I hope I know someone having a baby-That yarn is stunning
those eggs look like they could be eaten.
This is so strange I have not been able to comment on your blog for ages.
xoxoxo Penelope and Magellan.
PS what type of camera do you have?
Lovely, as always. I do enjoy my visits to your blog. I hope you'll stop by Katherines Corner. I'm having another giveaway! Big Hugs
Hi, Vicky,
Well we never got to meet up at the Fair in Maryland. My mom was released from rehab that morning. So I got to the fair around 11:00. Then my cousin and I were "on a mission" to get to the stuff we wanted so we could get back home again.
I assume you got there. I would love to hear about your trip and what you got. A comment on my blog would be fine. I did take pictures of my stuff. For 3-4 hours at the Fair, I was certainly able to spend money quickly. :-)
How utterly delightful, how beautiful! Thanks so much for visiting the Marmelade Gypsy (or actually, I think you came to Chopsticks and String, my other blog) -- it led me to you! I'm a knitter as well and while I'm in a bit of a slump, I love the inspiration! I will indeed be back!
Vicki,
These are going to be amazing I know. Love all the beautiful yarns & the star beads (or buttons) & the little cresent mooms & eggs...wow can't wait to see.
As for the charity. I'll bet I know. I'm just guessing of course, might be wrong. I'm thinking it's one that is very close to my heart as well because of my kids. We'll see.
Lisa
Hi Vicki,
I am sooo excited to see a new nest creation made by you!!
Can I put my reservation in for a "Pink" twinkle nest??
I have a new Grand daughter coming the end of October.
Let me know if I can reserve one from you this early?
Blessings, Love and Hugs,
Susan
