Making Home: (Almost Wordless) Wednesday with Addie

I have had a project in my head for a while now.

It really needed to get out !

If you read my blog , you know I LOVE my birds.

Even though we have had unseasonably warm weather here in Iowa,

I still feed the birds regularly.

Emily got me these wonderful trees for Christmas.

Even though she thought it was a weird gift suggestion.

( Bless Her Heart)

Notice the snow on my deck?

This is the most we've had.

That is NOT a complaint!

My idea is to take these little trees and decorate them with edibles for the birds.

I got a little inspiration from Pinterest.

Mine didn't turn out quite like these.

But.....

Plus....

My Big Helper and I had fun making them.

First we cut shapes out of bread slices.

Then we spread peanut butter on the shapes.

( birds and butterflies)

Addie got a little ahead of me.

Then we pressed bird seed into the peanut butter.

Our finished project.

Close up.

We poked a hole in them with a straw and I tied jute through it to make a hanger.

I have one more project in this crazy head of mine ( that must get out SOON )

before I decorate the trees.

Bet you can't wait to see what that is huh?

Stay tuned !
