I have a thing for nests...and birds...and lots of other things. But lately my mind and crafting keeps going back to birds and nest.
Yesterday I knew I needed to get some crafting done for my first craft show, that's only a month away now.
{beads of sweat forming at the brow with anxiety}
My daughter was under the weather for a couple of days, she then passed it onto me so I was out of commission for a while. I was definitely starting to feel the urgency to make a dent in all those "some day" projects. Well, yesterday was the day. My daughter was in a very agreeable and happy mood so I took advantage and worked while she played.
I pulled out some vintage baking tins I had snagged this summer. I altered some early in the year into Christmas ornaments but wanted to make something out of the rest that I could use or sell for Spring. Well, birds and bird's nest got stuck in my head.
The crazy thing is the following actually went through my head: "If I were a bird, what would I want in my nest." Yep, now I am imagining myself as a bird. That makes me officially crazy doesn't it? Oh well, my husband's been telling me I'm crazy for years. Anywho, I decided that if I were I bird I would love a nest make of vintage tea-stained lace, strings of pearls and bits of ribbon.
I really have nests on the brain. Next up on the list of "one day" crafts is burlap nests. I also altered some mason jars and made some postcard pillows yesterday. I'll share those soon.
Have a great day!

I then got out my trusty (but dwindling sheet music) and cut out some "Song Birds". I used my Tim Holtz tea stain distress ink and inked the edges of the bird. I hot glued her onto a twig and perched her in her nest.
