Spring Surprise -- a (very) limited new Woodland Bling nest

Deep in the woods~~




in the quiet
          echos of
                         darkness~~


no one ever sees the
   artistry~


the silent makings
of nature's most intricate
 works~


~~ except
for the dragonfly~
(who quietly watches and is amazed)
~~~

Knitting is more than just a hobby for me-
it is a true passion.
The art of knitting calms 
my restless spirit
and fills my soul with
 joy.
~
my knitted nests
are the result of this passion.




A lover of nature
and of "nests" of all kinds~
my knitted nest designs
allow me to creatively bring to life
my own interpretation 
of one of nature's most amazing creations.



"Woodland Bling" 
nest
~
this beautiful nest 
is part of my Designer nest series.





~while each of my Designer nests
are limited in production,
this specialty nest is very limited~
as there are only 6 nests
in this series.



this nest was created 
to welcome the long awaited
"Spring"!
(Honestly, I thought maybe it was not coming this year!)



 profits from my Designer Series nests
are always
donated to charity
~
the charitable profits
from these
"Woodland Bling" nests
will be donated to
the local food bank in my hometown.
~
"in my life, 
I have never had to live hungry,
but I know that there are those who do,
everyday~



the 
"Woodland Bling" 
nests
can be found here in
my ETSY shop.
~~


(many thanks to my friend Mary
for always helping me to make these
nests so beautiful for you) ~
xoxo
Vicki


Some updates~
Your Vintage Spring nests are finished (!!) and will debut on my blog the first of May. I am now already at work on new designs for my ETSY shop later this fall. New hats and wraps are already in progress~

One of my lovely and generous blog readers (from France) sent me this cute little owl brooch in the mail a few days ago -- but there was NO name attached to the card or envelope.  I would LOVE to thank you properly -- won't you email me please?  Thank you so much for this adorable little gift and sweet card! xoxo


We have had a few warm days --- already I have been outside among our spring daffodils taking photographs for my upcoming Spring giveaway --- you won't want to miss this one! 

My windows are open (although it is a tad bit cool today) and the birds are singing their spring songs --- I am so happy:)
xoxo

  2. What a beauty!!! OMG, I am so tempted, but I was so lucky to get on the list for the Vintage Spring nests, I would feel very selfish snapping up one of these exquisite nests as well. Sigh.

  3. Absolutely gorgeous, Vicki! The dragonfly is the perfect finishing touch and the colors of the yarn are just beautiful! I honestly don't know how you are able to do all that you do. My creativity has taken a big nose dive lately. But the good news is that in just two days, Spring Break will begin and I will have 10 days of freedom. Woohoo! Have a terrific Tuesday. Tammy

  18. This is the most beautiful, in my eyes, of the nests you've created. The dragonfly. I'm in awe when I see one. I stop whatever I'm doing to watch them 'til they're gone. Even when those around me think I'm silly. :-)

    The owl pin is lovely. Such a kind gift.

  25. Happy Easter Vicki and thanks so much for visiting and leaving some beautiful comments on my blog.
    I so appreciate you.

    Your bling nest is fabulous and the dragon fly is the bomb. I'm sure they will bring you some profit for your favorite charities...

    I hope that you have a beautiful Spring and that you enjoy that beautiful Owl pin. It's just so thoughtful of your blogging friend from France and I know that you truly deserve to be recognized for all that you do and you do it so well.
    Sending hugs and love,

  26. Hey girl, I am loving the woodland bling. I have a real connection to the woods and most weekends we go for woodland walks and hikes. In fact most of the wreaths we do have some kind of woodland connection. Hope alls well and that the Spring is being generous with sunshine.
