I've been "nesting"...


In the Spring I'm all about birds

and nests,

and garden-y things.



I found this little birdie in the twigs
 at a local floral supply company.

So today I played a little and made some nests,

for Easter gifts

and for my new space at Spring Creek.




These are just a few,

I sort of went "bird brain" making them.

(I'm a messy crafter!)

 

I always want to fill up any kind of "container".

An old ironstone berry bowl...


or dainty creamer...

(oh shoot, I'm a sucker for fuzzy chicks)



or my ironstone kitchen pitcher.


Hope you're having a sweet weekend,
full of fun and things of Spring.

We just missed a snowstorm,
it's heading for Kansas City...
sorry y'all.

love ya,
Debra

  5. Hi Debra! Your nests are wonderful! I gotta be the change in seasons that makes us want to go birdy! I've been making eggs and birds and anything else spring related that I can think of. We got a dusting of snow all day today on this first day of spring. Yesterday my kids played in t-shirts and today winter coats. crazy... Theresa

  6. Hi Debra,
    That little pink bird is adorable. You made me laught when you said you always want to fill up containers...me too. I just can't leave anything alone, it looks so sad without a touch of this or that.
    Those little nests are so sweet and I'm sure your customers will be grabbing them up.

    hugs

  18. Oh, Debra, I love the birds nests you made and the cute fuzzy chicks in the creamer- so cute. i have several little chicks from my children's Easter baskets and such fond memories of the little chicks in my Easter basket as a child. I still have my basket- now we don't really want to say how old it is.

    Now, the minute I click on your blog I start to smile and feel so good. You have a way with words and your personality comes out in your fonts and colors. I read somewhere that if 20% of what you do in a day is creative you are happier. I've found that to be true for myself.

    I have have been enjoying birds nests this year too and plan to post a blog with a beautiful flower arrangement that a friend designed for a Bridal Coffee at my home. It has birds nests in the arrangement. So fun. Spring is exciting with all the birds flying around. I had blue birds in my back yard this week and was so excited but the mockingbirds were chasing them away.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to write a letter. I need you to write my blog dialogue you have a way with words.

  37. Those fuzzy chicks get me every year! I but a set every year & about 2 weeks after Easter I am sneaking them into the garbage because they drive me nuts lying all over :) But I am sure I will pick up some again very soon.

    Your nests look great!!! I love the little eggies nestled inside ...especially in the creamer! You are as good as the birds :)

  40. Love your nests! I am into nests and eggs myself {for awhile now}. What a great idea to make and give as Easter gifts. I'm sure it makes for a nice change from the normally purchased pot of tulips or hyacinths!
