The "Shabby Nests" evolve~

"After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion.  And after ten years, throw it away and start all over again."

~ Alfred Edward Perlman, New York Times, July 1958

Every winter these little "Shabby Chic" nests 

are brought to life here in my

Sacred Yarn Room

while the concept remains the same --

the nests never are~

perhaps I dig a little deeper into the trunk

containing my Mother's collection

of vintage laces and trims~

perhaps I'll add some vintage

treasures that were purchased at my trips to the flea market

this past summer~

every artist knows that when you create--

you do it from your soul --

in the moment--

not by a set pattern

or directions

 every year,

my nests seem to change just a little~

when I look at them collectively,

(one from each year--)

I can see how over time that they have

evolved~

to me--

they are the most beautiful this year,

than ever before

and yet~

there are still more beautiful laces and trims 

waiting to be brought to life 

~

my Mother's collection of laces and trims 

is an amazing legacy that

I am sharing with you 

through

these little nests.  

I know already that next year's nests

will be both beautiful and unique

in their own special way -- 

and--

they will be different

somehow, someway~

the "Shabby Chic" nests

are not a part of my Designer nests collection.

(those designs are never repeated)

~~

these Shabby nests are made every winter

for those who are on the current

 waiting list.

~

the "Woodland" nests are also made

every winter.

~

~~In fairness to the beautiful 

"Woodland" nest --

that nest will have it's very own 

special post later this

 spring.~~

In my next post -- I'll share with you a little variation of the Shabby Chic nest --

the beautiful "Shabby Treasure " nest~~ 

Just keepin' it real~

I can't stand this winter anymore.  If it snows one more time I think I may just go crazy here in this house!  If I could be here at home all day and watch the beautiful snow falling without having to worry about getting back and forth to work -- that would be wonderful.  I could totally get into a snow covered winter -- but the reality of things is that I have to leave for work at 5:30 am -- and the roads can be miserable at that hour.

 I need Spring. 

NOW!!
