    Helping out the birds

    My friend Helen sent me an email today reminding me about helping the birds now at nesting season. I KNOW I’ve seen others in previous years set out a basket of goodies for the birds to use but for the life of me I couldn’t find any of their posts. Of course I may be mistaking one blog for another in my searches. I read A LOT of blogs!

    Anyway..in my search to find the sweet basket posts for Helen, I came across another simple solution.
    Since I had a nearly empty bag of lemons, I opted for this solution.

    I added:

    • yarn scraps
    • thread
    • ribbon
    • dryer lint
    • torn fabric strips
    • Spanish moss

    I took a crochet hook to pull some scraps partially out so they’d be more visible for the birds. Not sure if this is needed but I did it anyway.

    I hope to see some nests with some fun colors while on my walks this year!!

    Gothic Arch

    This was made from stuff I had in my scrap bucket.  I’m trying to back to making art but sometimes I feel as if I’m trying too hard. Maybe I just need to let it happen.
