Modern Bird Ornies!

Here are a just a couple of brand new birds listed in my etsy shop, with a modern twist...I just love them! The yellow striped one is "Henrietta" and the hot pink one is "Libby".

Work At Home Today...

Today is another day off from my other job, instead of relaxing, I am going to be very very busy working on more of my fabric birdies! More ideas are flowing in my brain, so they all have to come alive! I posted 2 more birds last night, but I need to make at least a dozen more to get my inventory up...Like the handmade house pictured? I made that almost 2 years ago, just for fun, but I will never sell it cause I'm too attached to it...I wish I could just shrink down to an inch and a half tall and live there! I would definitely be known for having a house that color, and maybe there would be no mortgage payments living in that kind of house! hehehe! My hubby is making me pancakes for breakfast (his homemade pancakes rock!!) So gotta go and munch on some hot cakes! mmmmmmm...yummy yummy!!!

So Long, Stella!

Early this morning as the snow was falling, I checked my etsy shop, and noticed that my dear friend, Shirley purchased one of the birds I had just made yesterday! So Little Stella is about to take flight to warmer temperatures! Thank you, Shirl! I know you will love her! Yay!!!!!! And also last night, sold 4 items to an awesome lady right in my home state of Kansas! (you know who you are!) My etsy shop is really taking off and I wanted to thank all of my blog friends for their love and support. And also to my mentor, Colette, thank you for believing in me. You ladies rock!!!!! Dreams do come true!!!

Blah!

Today is a "blah" kind of day, not much to do. I have today off from work, my hubby is at work, and my kitties are grouchy and need a nap...I did get some new fabric to work on more birds, so I will be working on a couple more today. It's a typical Monday for me, I hate Mondays honestly...It's lonely and borrrring...Good news though, I sent off a total of 4 fabric birds in the mail today, 3 to Texas and 1 to California! Oh how I love making those birds! Have a happy Monday everyone!

5 Days Countdown!!!

I am now reporting the countdown T minus 5 days until I receive my 2 darling zebra finches for Xmas! Woo-Hoo! I am so excited! I'm like a little kid again!

A Gift From Mom!

What a wonderful suprize!! I checked my mail, and there was something just for me! I love these out of the blue things!

There are so many more things I love, but this blog would run until the end of next week!

Make cookies, sing your favorite song as loud as you can, snuggle with your puppy dog, watch your favorite movie, read a good book, kiss your pet birds, whatever floats your root-beer float! As for me, I am going to the local antique store and hunt for a few vintage wonders!

My Favorite Bird

I have a collection of bird figurines, and this simple iron bird is simply my favorite one! This was actually on my bridal registry last spring, And I didn't think I would actually get it, but an old co-worker friend bought it for me, knowing how much I love birds...It was my most non-practical item on my registry. I will treasure it forever!

All In A Row...

Look at these sweet little birds! Every morning, I see a little row of these birds perched on a power line warming themselves up in the winter morning sunlight.

7 Days Countdown...

In exactly 7 days, I will be getting my early Xmas present from my hubby, not one, but TWO little zebra finches!!!! I am getting 2 females, since I don't want a male and a female to have babies...They will have a cute cage to live in, a water dish to bathe into, and I am going to pick some thin branches outside for them to perch onto...It will be so much fun!!!!

Thursday Finds...

While out and about with my husband, I came across these interesting items, even one was given to me by mother nature! (The big feather) I found it laying by my hubby's car in a parking lot) but these bird ornaments and the sled ornie (hubby picked out that one) all are going on our tree.

Curious Kitty

My cat, Sabrina was so curious about what was in the package, she decided to take a peek at it's contents after I opened it...

All The Way From Canada!!!

On my way out to run errands with my hubby, I checked into my mailbox, and there was a wonderful little package waiting patiently for me!!! I squealed (because it's from my dear friend, Colette) and I was so excited to open it! My husband watched attentively as I opened the package, and here are the goodies as follows: VERY colorful mushroom birds, 1 package of mini eggs, 4 big speckled eggs, variety of colorful buttons, large dove, fabric remnant, and best of all...a bird art assemblage piece-which is propped up in one of my hanging empty picture frames...(I have one whole wall in my office that holds nothing but her art that I have collected the last couple of years!) Colette, if you haven't received my package yet, it should be there very soon...Thank you Colette for the wonderful trinkets! Those birds are so very colorful, and when you get my gift, I hope you enjoy it!

Christmas SALE In My Minxden Etsy Shop!!!

Hey everybody! I just marked down ALL of my bird ornies (felt & vintage fabric) for the holiday season! They were all $5.50 each and now the all new low price is just $4.25 each, and if you buy more than one, you will get a discount shipping rate of only $1.20! I thought that would be a good business effort for everyone during the holidays! So hurry fast, these little bird friends need new homes and Christmas trees to settle into! they could run out soon!

What A Mess!!!

I'm thinking when I get off work this afternoon, I will clean and tidy up my office, since I spend half my time in there, I want it to look nice and clean.

CiCi On The Prowl

Here's CiCi getting ready to pounce on her sister (litter mate), Sabrina. They do this rough house thing every single morning, and then they crash and burn by the noon hour.

My Poor Hubby!

Well, I have time for a quick post, I got back from work and I was taking care of my hubby cause he is sick with the flu!!! Poor thing, he doesn't get the flu often, but when he gets sick, he's out for the count. I'm thinking of trying to make him sip a little 7up, and if he can keep it down, I can warm up some chicken broth...He's watching TV right now all covered up with like 5 of my comforters...I will be a good wife and take good care of my poor sick hubby...I love my hubby!

Lara The Bird

Hello everyone! Here's my newest bird addition to the vintage fabric ornie family...Lara the bird is born!!! She's simple, but very shabby! I just posted her in my etsy shop about 15 minutes ago, and if anyone wants to live with her...ACT FAST! These bird ornies are so fun to make, it takes me about an hour to make one (I'm getting faster and faster) The sun is finally out! I love it when the sun shines...So today is my day off, I will make more birds, and wtach the Golden Girls (one of my favorite TV shows), and wait patiently for my hubby to get home from work...
