nesting

I'm excited about my little nest ornaments in progress. I offered 5 of these last year in my shop and this year I'm expanding--I'll be offering 10. Yeah, I know--huge expansion. IF they all sell I'll be thrilled. If I have leftovers--no problem. Gifts! Half the fun is making them. There is just something so sweet about a tiny bird in a nest. Noah actually can not resist these wee mushroom birds. He gets kind of crazy over them. Last year I gave him a few and I wish I could show you the tree house he built for them! So adorable. Now that I'm thinking of it, I better throw a few into his Christmas stocking!

On a sparkly note: I feel an obsession coming on with Martha's glitter. I wasn't paying any attention to them when they first hit the shelves--but now! oh dear. I think I just may want them all. Part of it is those seriously cute bottles they come in! My new glitter love has inspired some Gocco stationary I want to make. Hopefully, hopefully--those and my nest ornaments will be in the shop by Sat. or early next week--then I'm calling it quits on the shop until after Christmas. I've got to get cracking on the gifts I want to make.

And I've been eyeing that Martha Stewart glitter...what makes it so fantastic? Is it JUST glitter? Or some glue in there too?

[meg]

is it the glass glitter she is always going on about? because it does look beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished nests. Where did you get those beautiful little birds (I'll need one to go in my nest!).

Hi Toni, you design the sweetest things! I love the little nest ornaments...they are so cute and the little birds are adorable. About this glitter, those little bottles are cute! I also love those colors. Martha has come out with the most wonderful craft line at Michael's... Have you seen the punches...I had to have the cute butterfly one, and I just may be looking to buy a couple bottles of glitter!

I am celebrating my 50th post with a first ever give-away, and I would love for you to be a part! So when possible pop over ok.
You and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving...

Hugs to you...

Love the little nests. As for the glitter...you have no idea how I grave a MArtha Stewart shop here in the UK... I am dreaming about the little kit houses...I have searched ebay and no one has them here...I love the Martha Stewart magazine and her stuff is divine...Ahhh dream on...
Wishing a happy thanks giving...

It goes without saying - those little birds and their nests are adorable.

Ooh, I loved these last year, but I didn't have any money to buy one with! Maybe this year!
