I found this flat wicker basket and filled it with a luscious spring bouquet. I love it ... and so does a certain expectant bird in the neighborhood. Don't get me wrong. I understand the nesting thing. I've never hatched an egg but in my younger days I had giving birth down to a fine art, so I understand wanting to feather one's nest and create a comfortable little home for a new arrival. I just don't think a flower arrangement on a front door is the place to create such a home. However, I can't blame my little feathered friend for wanting to surround herself and her little ones with flowers. In that way we are very much alike.
A couple of days ago a birdie of another variety, made its way to our home. Do you see her there in the branches?
I was visiting my favorite blogs the other day when I came upon a post at the DIY Dish. The post highlighted a video where Kim and Kris were hosting fabric designer Joel Dewberry. I was hooked from the get-go. I happen to love Joel Dewberry's fabric collections, so I watched the entire video.
On the video they demonstrated how to make these cute little birdies and offered a free downloadable PDF pattern that is found in Joel Dewberry's new book! {Thank you!}
I made a feathered friend that night.
This is one kind of nesting bird I don't mind in the least...
