Along with quilts, I just love birdhouses! As with quilting, don't know what it is but can't seem to get enough. See a design or object and say "wow that would make a cute quilt or birdhouse" and there we go. Thought you might enjoy seeing some of my birdhouse projects. The one on the pole in the garden was made early this spring from scrap wood that I had. It is quite large. Didn't use a pattern, just designed and built as I went along. I am tickled to say that each hole now has a wren family living inside. Some of the ones on the deck were made from purchased patterns and some were self designed. The 3 latest ones, the angel, frog and bee were finished last week as gifts for my grandson's teachers and bus driver. I designed these myself. They are all functional biridhouses protected from the weather for outside use. I adore how the bee turned out, gotta make one of those for myself! Also designed a ladybug that will be adorable. My problem is there just isn't enough time for all the things that I want to do! Received my new Quilting World mag today and there are 2 more quilts in there that I love and must have. Husband says I need to take a "chill pill". I tell him I don't have time. What I need to do is figure out how I can live to be 100 and still be able to quilt and make birdhouses. Any ideas? LOL
