bird in a nest: Some Cush for My Tush!
http://birdinanest.blogspot.com/2011/02/some-cush-for-my-tush.html
Bird in a nest. Saturday, February 12, 2011. Some Cush for My Tush! I had some old red fine-whale corduroy from my grandmother's stash. I don't have many things of her's, but I charish all that I do have. I also used some of it to make a Christmas tree skirt which I decorated with some of her old shell buttons, and to make my girls their stockings with some more of her buttons. At a certain point I decided that they would just have to do (nobody would see them anyway), and I turned to stuffing the form.

bird in a nest: October 2010

Bird in a nest. Friday, October 1, 2010. So I'd like to introduce one of my chickens. Her name is Zoe, and while she's not the prettiest thing (Auracauna's make adorable chicks, but they look a little more like a relative of a vulture as adults) I like her. She thought I wouldn't notice her straining her neck to reach them! What's more, not a trace of their presence could be found. They didn't scratch or poop. It's like they thought I might not notice. Can you see the little chew holes the slugs left?

Bird in a nest. Thursday, May 12, 2011. Quiltin' for my Honey. So we chose a plain and random square patch design. After I had cut out all of the many squares, I made little piles, each with only one of each fabric (more or less) to make sure I kept them all spread out evenly over the quilt top. Good words for any father of 3 girls. The next one honors his culinary tastes, and the way in which he wants all of his birthdays and fathers' days celebrated:. I have 4 more to go before I can tackle this:.

Bird in a nest. Monday, February 14, 2011. These are for my sweetie, so that we may share many more tea times together. Four mini quilt coasters. I chose these rosey prints. And then later added some leaf green fabric to make a solid 4. (It was becoming apparent to me that these were to be a Valentine's day gift.) It was a really good way to practice quilting. Thank you, Flossie. I finished the binding by hand, wrapped them up for my hubbie. . . I put them with a box of his favorite cookies. . . Then I s...

Bird in a nest. Monday, November 22, 2010. Best Loved Doll Layette. When I was a little girl I had an old doll that my mother had had when she was a little girl. I LOVED this doll, just as she had, but this doll was UGLY! One of my favorite stories when I was little was The Best-Loved Doll. She came out looking like she had just been reborn. Her head was smooshed in! The little girls favorite color. PS The link for the free doll sling how-to is http:/ crafts.sleepingbaby.net/kidsling.html. Bird in a nest.

Bird in a nest. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Pretty Pink Princess Pillow. This pillow finished up a little over the top as far as cutesy goes! So I started a ripple stitch crochet pillow, only to find that I had nowhere near enough yarn! There must be some shamefully appropriate Murphy's law I could reference here in hindsight. But persistence paid off, I think. I now have a super girly pink pillow that luckily matches my room, because I'm a little too shy to put in on the couch! Bird in a nest.

Bird in a nest. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Happy 40th Birthday to Me! In one week's time, I survived a nasty chest and head cold, a nasty crampy visit, and turning 40! So while I haven't gotten my Hoola Hoop quilt pattern up, I did just take a lovely little quiz that let me know which Jane Austen character I most resemble. Take the Quiz here! Bird in a nest. April 2, 2011 at 11:22 AM. Happy belated B-Day.You are only a baby. I will have a major milestone of my life next weekend! February 10, 2012 at 3:55 PM.

Bird in a nest. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. A Simple and Soothing Homemade Facial Cleanser. The Herbal Body Book. I don't have to sit with my head under a towel and over a hot bowl of water. I can fold towels, clean the kitchen, or even something funner. It was like a walking steam facial because when I rinsed it off with cool filtered water (chlorine is drying) my pores were tiny! The oatmeal was so soothing and my skin was left clean, blackhead free and moisturized. (I am no spring chick and so my. I fel...
