An Old Creation With A Wintry Twist

Hello my dear friends,

I am slowly starting to feel a bit better. My cold/flu isn't gone just yet but it's not too bad anymore and I am so happy because I just hate feeling unwell, but then who doesn't? Thank you all for your well wishes, they really helped me feel better!

These past few days I have been crafting a little and I would like to share my 'newest' creation with you today. It is actually one of my older creations with a wintry twist ~ my little felted nests!

I really love my little nests ~ which is a free tutorial for all you lovely bloggers ~ so I decided to make a few new ones but gave them a wintry glisten for the season. I am really pleased with the way they have turned out especially because it gave me a chance to use my newest yarn/wool I purchased from Martha Stewart amongst a lot of other very beautiful yarns that I had bought in Europe years ago but never used.

So, why not scroll down and take a look and I hope you like what you see!






I love the different textures of the beautiful yarns and the effect they give!

And these are my wintry little nests ...


They are all a little bit different from each other.


To paint the eggs I used Martha's newest paints with a pearl effect ...


and a tiny touch of sparkly glitter.


I love the look of these nests, it's almost like they are built from frost and ice!





Why not try and make one of these yourself? They would be a beautiful decoration for your Christmas tree, or Christmas display and they are great little gifts!

Last but not least ...


this was my backyard on Thursday ~ very green and warm.
We almost had a record temperature for December here!


And this is my backyard this morning ...

hopefully this won't be the last of the white beautiful flakes!

I hope you are all well, looking after yourselves and life is treating you kind.

Have a peaceful and creative day,

Karen B.

  1. Oh the nests are so beautiful!! I would love to learn how to make them!!! Did I hear Tutorial!?

    We still have 4 inches from a snow fall about 10 days ago- so cold lately it's just not melting off. It is nice for the Christmas season though!

  3. The winter nest is so beautiful. Today I began searching for what to use to make a little one, and your idea of the silver is fabulous!
