Spring Fever

You might assume that all I did this weekend was quote Loretta Lynn.  You would almost be right.  However, while Stevie had a real fever and cough (so sorry honey...that I gave you all my germs) I had a touch of Spring Fever.  And found myself longing for birds and nests and eggs.  And this post from my friend The Nester only made my fever worse.  I've had 'make sticks and feather' arrangement on my to-do list for 6 months.  When I saw her arrangement, I knew I needed to steal the idea and make it my own.  She encourages such thievery.   If you consider doing this type of spring project this week, I would encourage you to put on some flip flops and listen to this.  It helps to 'spring' you right up.

So I gathered my supplies:  some sticks, some feathers, a bird, some eggs, and a real life nest (although slightly damaged by my tree climbing children) and began my creating.  The industrious bird who made that nest.....used a pipe cleaner.   Ummm, I'm a little impressed by that.

This is my first project in an attempt to redo my bathroom without replacing the sink, the cabinet, the floor, etc.  Which I would like to do.  I want to paint it, but that may have to wait until the kitchen is done.  

I add some shells and lotus pods and some starfish....

and a little glass bowl and shells and eggs.

I love this little 'arrangement'.  When I folded the towels, I took them one by one into the bathroom.....so I could keep enjoying this little box of sticks and feathers.  More to come on the bathroom soon.

I also discovered tumblr this weekend.  I think I'm gonna love it.  It's also a Nester idea.  It's a place to store all your links, favorite ideas, favorite audio, etc.  And if you add it to your bookmarks bar, when you come across a link you wanna save, you simply add it to your tumblr list by one click.  Just thought you'd like to know!
