I’m nesting and nerding out at the moment. The hubby was out of town most of the week so I dove head first into Jellybean’s nursery.
Squee….there are no words so I’m just going to show you the almost FO pics of the room!
I must have some very picky birds in my neighborhood….
My contribution for local bird nests is going largely ignored. The only yarn that has disappeared is the 100% wool that was at the bottom. All the cotton, acrylic, and wool/acrylic blends are untouched.
I put this under my apple tree and I think I’m going to move it to the patio. Maybe my placement is bad, or maybe I have horrible taste in yarn according to birds, lol? It has been TERRIBLY stormy here in the Midwest and it could be weather related as well. Or maybe it has already passed prime best building time for chicks and chickadees? I’m not even close to a bird expert by any means!
Only time will tell! I’ll post another update in a couple weeks. Happy Monday!
While organizing my craft room yesterday I came across A LOT of yarn odds and ends. And a thought popped into my brain. Something neat I had seen on Pinterest and in other blogs. Why not snip the bits and peices and put in a cage outside for nesting birdies?
I grabbed a grilling/hamburger cage from the discount store…
And my bag of leftovers…
Fill cage with yarn and close!
I hung the contraption outside in our apple tree and viola!
Now I just have to wait and see if the little birdies take the bait…stay tuned…
