My quest to make nests has turned into something much bigger. At first when I started working on making 20 plus nests for Birdsong, each took me over an hour to figure out. As I moved on and figured out a few things they went faster and got cuter and cuter.
So, while I was at it, I decided to take some pictures as I worked and do a tutorial.
And since I'd gotten so many inquiries about the wreath class I am doing, I decided to add that too. And one of the things people ask me about most is the fairy crowns that I do. Since all 3 of these are done with the same basic ideas, I decided to lump them all into one Wire Workshop that I am calling, "Twining and Twirling".
In these, you get all my tips and tricks, hints and how tos. As well as patterns for the leaves on the wreath and down loadable French text to print and use to cut the leaves out of. Also to decoupage the bird in the wreath, or eggs in the nest with too.
There are lots of pictures, and instructions, examples, and ideas. And I'll probably be adding more to it as time goes by. If you are one of the hundreds of people (thank you, thank you, thanks so much!!!) who bought my dress form tutorial, you already know that as holidays came along, I did extras for the occasion and added them to the existing tutorial for no charge. I already have some ideas for Easter that I want to play with and will tell you about on the tutorial.
You can click on the button to check out the sign up page. The cost is $20 for all three workshops. They will be set in blog form, and are up indefinitely. As long as I have a TypePad blog, and I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon.
By the way, everyone who is attending Birdsong Two, has already got a free entry to the workshop to try it out. There are three spots left for our party at the cottage in April, if you are thinking about coming, this online workshop is a little bonus you'll get for signing up!
Because I like to spoil my "peeps".
...and we LOVE being spoiled! Whee, I can't wait to try it out! That is going to be my treat to myself for finishing up all my to-do's this week! (And motivation!)

Thanks, Karla -- I'm finally starting to carve out some creative time for myself and this might just be the time to do that. I'm checking it out!

Hi Karla:) I just ordered two pins from your boutique in agua and pink. Do you have anything else I may be interested in in these colors? Let me know I need to fill a jewelry box for a swap and your prices are in my range for goodies. Also you may remember I told you my son was going to Fort Leonard Wood MO for boot camp. He wants to know when it's going to get WARMER!! lol:) Missouri has got to be tough for a California kid!

This is proof that not all the best things in life will happen from a pre-planned To Do list. I'm glad you decided to take time for the unplanned creativity.
