APROPOS


Today is the day.
Independence Day.
And it's apropos that I post this on this day.

I know you all know my friend, Vicki.
She's the ever-so-talented sweet girl
that knits nests.

Her latest Freebird Nest is spectacular.
It's all things Americana!
Please check out her blog
to read all about it
and look at her beautiful photos.

I, along with others, play (a small) part in her nests.
Here are the birds I created for this designer series.


She wraps my stamped tissue papers around the nest
and then ties the birds onto the package. 

If you are interested,
this October she will be releasing a very special nest.
Keep your eyes open - it's going to be fantastic!

WOODLAND SPRING NEST


She's baaaaaaaaaaaack!

I'm speaking about Vicki Boster.
If you are not familiar with her,
she is my friend from Kentucky
and she knits nests.
(Say that three times fast!)
Beautiful nests, I might add.

She was on hiatus for a couple of years
but she's back and in full swing!

This is her Woodland Spring Nest.
Click on the link below to read
all about her creations.



Isn't it absolutely beautiful?

Vicki knits the Woodland Spring Nests every year.
This year, she only knitted 15!
It's the only nest that she brings back every year
but she changes them up every time.
In case you might be interested in ordering one,
the waiting list is now available.
Please order directly through her.

I can't even remember how many of her nests
that I've helped get them to the place
where they need to be before delivery.

Every nest gets one of my birds.
These are tied onto each and every package.
This particular bird is in the brown tones
with teal and green on the flower.





These little square tags are tied directly onto every nest.
The nests are stamped in brown
and the eggs are colored with colored pencils.
The leaves also get a little coloring.


All of the nests are wrapped in tissue paper.
Tissue paper that I have stamped with a different nest stamp.
Because of the fragility of the tissue papers,
the eggs need to be colored with crayons.

And here they are:
nest, bird, tags and tissue paper. 

Now that I have your attention ...
Vicki creates designer series nests
that are never repeated.
When they're gone, they're gone!

Speaking of designer series,
the Freebird Nests, with a patriotic flair,
will be debuting in June.
These are going to be absolutely gorgeous.
I've already made my contribution
and had so much fun.
Something I've not done before!
