Wool Bird's Nest with Wooden Eggs

My Wool Bird's Nest is available on Etsy.

The flowers are peeking up in my flower beds. The bird feeder is full and morning bird songs help me wake up as I walk around my neighborhood. My most organized neighbor has already raked his lawn and is watering today, and his yard will be emerald green for St. Patrick's Day! It seems like the perfect day to share with you my wool felt bird's nest.

I knit this nest with wool yarn---it looked like a winter hat for a gnome! I felted it in the washing machine, let it dry stretched onto the bottom of an up-turned sauce pan, and then I added wool yarn and roving embellishment. The wooden eggs were fun to paint, and I probably went a little overboard on the freckles...oh well...happy spring-like day!

Thanks for stopping by,

Spring is in the air--somewhere behind the snow that is falling!

The snow has been falling all weekend here in Westminster Colorado. It is a gentle snow, like powdered sugar that adds up over time. The bunny tracks in my backyard appear, are filled in by the snow, reappear in another part of the yard, and then--oh my goodness--it looks like the bunnies have been dancing with raccoon tracks! I've yet to see any of the creatures, but I am enjoying watching their footprints.

Spring is in the air though; I am longing for it anyway. I've got a hyacinth bulb inside of the house, and it is about 2 feet tall now, getting ready to blossom; so am I. I'm excited to hear baby birds in their nests, see daffodils pop out of my flower bed, and listen to gentle rain on my porch roof while I sit outside for once.

A lovely gal at eagerhands.blogspot.com included my Bird's-Eye View Pillow in her Spring is in the Air blog.

Here's hoping that where ever you are, be it warm or snowy, busy or serene, that you have a chance to nestle and soar today!

Warmly,
