New Spring Nests are coming...

It's been the longest winter...

 gray skies have finally given way 

to sunshine..

 Our days are longer now,

birdsong and chatter fill the air...

 Retirement is a wonderful thing...

I'm finding time for me...

finally.

We've been enjoying some wonderful travels

and I've been able to find more

leisurely time 

for my knitting projects.

The "soon to be" arrival of Spring

means that it is

 "nesting" time...

The new "Woodland" nests

will be ready for their homes 

soon...

This is my first nesting creation

since my retirement. 

I'll be honoring that in a big way...

pulling out all the stops

to make this year's "Woodland nest"

EXTRA special!

I've collected some lovely vintage millinery

as well as other vintage treasures

that I've been saving 

for this very special 

celebration nest...

in honor of my retirement.

(43 years of Neonatal Nursing)

!!!

 This year's nest will be a showstopper

for sure!

 As always... there is a waiting list

for this nest.

~

Because this nest is going to be

 so very special...

I am extending the opportunity

to join the waiting list.

~

A few additional spots have been added

for those who are

 interested.

If you wish to be added

to the "retirement version"

list for the 

"Woodland nest"...

just email me.

Even though I'm not often here at my blog...

my promise continues to always post here first

regarding my nests and knitted wraps.

~

Because you ALL are my first love...

I will always post here before

posting availability on my 

Instagram account. 

 As a reminder...

this year's Designer nest will be a new

Breast Cancer Awareness Nest.

~

By now you know that the making of this nest

is a deeply emotional investment for me....

my way to honor our beautiful

Alicia.

~

The "Alicia" nest will be beyond

beautiful.

~

You may email me if you are interested.

There are a very few spots left

on the waiting list...

I love and miss you all,

truly.

(and very special)

"Woodland nest"...

Introducing the Woodland Spring nest...

Just in time for Spring's much anticipated arrival...
Introducing my beautiful "new" Woodland Spring nest...

After an extended absence from creativity...

I'm so excited to finally bring you a new nest design.

A fresh and updated look to the long standing favorite

Woodland Nest..

the true essence of Spring. 

 to celebrate my return to "nesting"...

the Woodland nest is getting a "redo!"

~

A glittered gold leaf vine

encircles the nest.

Accents of vintage glass woodland flowers,

vintage silk millinery,

and a tiny fairy nest with eggs

are all part of this new 

design. 

Only 15 of these beautiful nests

were created.

~

When I announced that after a long absence, 

I was returning to

my "nesting"...

with a "new version of this old favorite"...

the waiting list was filled within a few hours time.

~

Honestly, I never dreamed that my nests

 would be so loved. 

All of these nests are currently RESERVED,
except for ONE!!!.

there  is ONLY ONE extra nest available
 for sale at this moment.
That nest is listed in my ETSY shop
 as "NOT RESERVED".

~

Those of you on the waiting list

will find your nest listed in my ETSY shop

with your name in the listing.

(click on the link above to be directed to my ETSY shop)

~

For those who may be interested..

NEXT year's waiting list is currently available.

  

Some particulars about the nest..

Each nest measures approximately

 5 1/2 inches in diameter 

and is about 4 1/2 inches tall.

~

These nests are for home decor use only

and are not suitable for outside use.

 Traditionally,

this Woodland nest design

is created every spring.

This is the ONLY nest design

that is ever

 repeated...

(nests in my Designer series are not ever repeated.)

~ 

 Expect another updated new design 

for this nest next Spring. 

~

The waiting list is now open

and you may email me if you are interested

in a placement on the list.

 Many times I am asked

if someone may share my photos of the nests...

~

I want you to know that you may do so 

with my blessing.

You do not need to email me to 

ask for permission. 

You are more than welcome to share

my nest photos on any social media outlet,

including your own personal blogs.

Presentation is everything...

Your nest will arrive

beautifully wrapped in tissue paper 

designed by my talented friend Sue Kosec. 

(you can access her blog by clicking her name)

~

Tied onto every package

 will be one of Sue's amazing bird designs. 

Sue's tissue, tags, and birds 

are very much a part of what makes each nest

so special when it arrives at your home.

Working with my yarns again

has been exhilarating.

I am so grateful that you have welcomed

me back into this amazing community

of talented artists.

That you continue to love and support

my nest creations 

is so humbling.

Thank you from the bottom

of my heart...

xoxo

PS....

Another new nest is coming!! 

A new design in my charitable Designer series will debut in June.

As promised...(way too long ago)...a Patriotic theme nest is now in the works.  The Freebird nest will debut in mid June...(so that you can display the nest during your summer celebrations). 

I'll have more info about that nest in my next blog post...

but for now, that waiting list is now open and available. 

I will make approximately 25 nests, (half of which have already been reserved.) 

Remember that my Designer series nests are never repeated. Once that design sells out, it is gone forever. The proceeds from the sale of that nest will be donated to charity..(more about that later, also.)  I'll be back in a few weeks with more info about that nest.

xoxo
