Birdies ready to sell:
I hung the wee birdies in a branch I cut off the lilac tree a couple of months ago. I think they like dangling about better than lounging around on the table. I'll have to take it apart to get it to the school gym for the crafts fair, but this is a good way to keep the birds' bills from getting smushed and keep the cat from clawing them out of a box and on to the ground for the dog to gnaw.
They did that to a body the cat flicked out when I was in Juneau. Pet cooperation is hard to hate, but fairly annoying.
The whole thing in front of a window salvaged from a neighbors' weatherizing project. Too pretty to put outside. 1/2 gallon mason jar...canning jars are the perfect crafts project container. Smaller ones are great beer mugs.

it's only just begun!


Winter scenery time is here again! Sunrise kissed the mountain tops at about 8:00 this morning and there's about 1/2 an inch of snow on the ground, yippee! So worth the cold ears to get to walk in the beauty!


Fall sales mean little felted birdies, it's time for Christmas crafts fairs!

Last but not least, it's time for cats to be inside near the woodstove or on the crafty table.
