This Years Bird Tree - Happy Holidays!

This year's bird tree in the studio.
(we have another tree that is the "family" tree with all the kids ornaments in another room)

A few new bird ornaments this year.

The nests with eggs I made last year.

Sweet little glass ornaments that a I got from kateydiditglass on etsy.

Little bluejay peekaboo.


Presents are finally all wrapped, cookies are baked, and the children are nestled in bed with visions of nintendo ds and wii games in their head.
I'm off to sip a glass of egg nog and listen to a few christmas tunes while I wait for Santa to arrive.

Merry Christmas to you all and to all a good night!

Goodbye Funk

I have to admit I have been in a bit of a funk since Christmas. Have not felt like making anything, cleaning the house or studio, or doing much of anything. I suppose it's a combination of the post Christmas "blahs" and sheer exhaustion! Do any of you ever feel this way?
Had a nice surprise this afternoon to help get me out of this funk - my nest in branches necklace was featured in a lovely treasury that made it to the front page. Thank you Etsy administration (whoever you are!)
