Spring Surprise -- a (very) limited new Woodland Bling nest

Deep in the woods~~




in the quiet
          echos of
                         darkness~~


no one ever sees the
   artistry~


the silent makings
of nature's most intricate
 works~


~~ except
for the dragonfly~
(who quietly watches and is amazed)
~~~

Knitting is more than just a hobby for me-
it is a true passion.
The art of knitting calms 
my restless spirit
and fills my soul with
 joy.
~
my knitted nests
are the result of this passion.




A lover of nature
and of "nests" of all kinds~
my knitted nest designs
allow me to creatively bring to life
my own interpretation 
of one of nature's most amazing creations.



"Woodland Bling" 
nest
~
this beautiful nest 
is part of my Designer nest series.





~while each of my Designer nests
are limited in production,
this specialty nest is very limited~
as there are only 6 nests
in this series.



this nest was created 
to welcome the long awaited
"Spring"!
(Honestly, I thought maybe it was not coming this year!)



 profits from my Designer Series nests
are always
donated to charity
~
the charitable profits
from these
"Woodland Bling" nests
will be donated to
the local food bank in my hometown.
~
"in my life, 
I have never had to live hungry,
but I know that there are those who do,
everyday~



the 
"Woodland Bling" 
nests
can be found here in
my ETSY shop.

(many thanks to my friend Mary
for always helping me to make these
nests so beautiful for you) ~

Some updates~
Your Vintage Spring nests are finished (!!) and will debut on my blog the first of May. I am now already at work on new designs for my ETSY shop later this fall. New hats and wraps are already in progress~

One of my lovely and generous blog readers (from France) sent me this cute little owl brooch in the mail a few days ago -- but there was NO name attached to the card or envelope.  I would LOVE to thank you properly -- won't you email me please?  Thank you so much for this adorable little gift and sweet card! xoxo


We have had a few warm days --- already I have been outside among our spring daffodils taking photographs for my upcoming Spring giveaway --- you won't want to miss this one! 

My windows are open (although it is a tad bit cool today) and the birds are singing their spring songs --- I am so happy:)
