Birds of spring

As the weather warms up, I am waking up each morning to the sounds of birds outside my window.  Their song and the nest like texture of these little whisk brooms have inspired me to alter a few more...with a bird theme.
Just a glimpse of these little creations. They are not quite done.  I've got a table full of projects right now.
What's on your project table right now?  I'd love to hear!  Don't forget April is giveaway month! I will announce a weekly giveaway each Sunday, starting April 3rd.  Are you ready to WIN some rooster with a side of rusty and vintage?! Thank you for your follows and comments. xoxo
I'll be linking up to some great parties.  Come and join me! Just click below to visit and be inspired.

    Good morning Vicki! After the hard rain we had yesterday, the birds are out in numbers this morning! We have 3 feeders in our courtyard and my hubby had to fill them first thing this morning! I'm excited about roosters...and rusty! Happy April! ♥

    Well, those are just cute as they can be! Such a creative mind. Now I think I'm regretting telling Tiffany (The Cranky Queen) that she could get the last broom I found. Dang-it.
