Spring Birdie

I'm taking a class, Spark Your Spring, by Marjorie Romney-Aslett.  It's such a wonderful class and she teaches so many beautiful spring projects for your home.  I've been working on a few but finished this one!

Isn't this about the cutest thing you've ever seen!  Marjorie is so clever and her projects are so cute!  I used fabrics on the wreath that I got from the thrift store.  I bought a couple of bags of fabric scraps.  I think I'm going to get some more.  They are so fun to work with!

On Saturday, my brother cut down my sister's twisted willow tree.  I took the opportunity to get some for my spring decorating!  I think my brother thought I was insane when I pulled several branches to the side for crafting!  He just doesn't understand me!!!  They sell those at the craft store for $10 for a small bunch.  I probably pulled out a hundred bucks worth and mine were all hand picked!

Anyway, I made the nest using some of the twisted willow, wire, and my trusty low temp glue gun.  Thank goodness it was low temp!!!  I'll be making a lot more of these little nests with the branches I saved!  I added some moss to the bottom to kind of ground it to the wreath and added some shredded book paper that I sprayed with some different spritz sprays.  I got the little birdie at Michaels and added the little ribbon rose.  I think it's the perfect addition to her hat!

I'll have to wait until the rest are complete in order to share more.  I am decorating my white feather tree for spring.  I might share some sneaks of each project before I finish with everything!  I think I'll only be doing two more for now.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week!!!

Blessings,
Christine
