Sweel Little Birdies Shop Local Recycle

These fab coasters can be found at WesleyAsher's shop. They are made from a recycled wool sweater felt and then hand needle felted. I love the simplicity of the design, the blue brown combo and that they are made from recycled material. How many others great things can you combine to come up with a wonderful creation. I just think it is so great when something that is not being used anymore becomes someones new useful creation. Saves it from finding a landfill and gives it a whole new life. This is also one of my fellow crafters her the the great Northwest. Support your local community.

Why Was the Chair There?

For some reason there is a plastic lawn chair hanging on our fence about 4ft off the ground

And to our surprise a mama bird decided it was a great location for her nest

Here are her babies

I believe this is her or maybe it was Dad. They were quite vocal in letting us know we shouldn't have found the nest.

The first thing I thought when we found the nest is "why was the chair there". I can only think it was hung there when we were weed eating the area and we needed it out of the way. Then I thought how come she decided to make the nest there. It is low to the ground and we play in that area all the time. It is quite the beautiful nest and I do suppose the chair seems quite sturdy compared to the trees. I haven't pointed it out to the boys because I don't want them to touch it but I am glad we found it because I totally would have just grabbed the chair and not think twice about whats in it. So, from now on I will always look in chairs hanging from strange places.
