So sorry about not keeping you up to date yesterday…..I think Jenny, Blossom and I talked ALL the legs off their chairs and had such fun, we never got time to blog!!!! …and I was so exhausted last night, I hit the pillow and didn’t even know it! What an absolutely inspiring day…..I only wish you all could have been there with us…..our chatter would have been heard over the bats that are in plague proportions in Charters Towers!!! LOL It felt like I was right at home the moment I arrived at Jenny’s….such a beautiful house and family, the photos on her blog don’t do it justice!!!! Blossom helped me build my cage because we quickly realised more hands were needed!!!!!! With her help, we quickly got it to this stage….
a bit hard to see, but I decided to go with the round version. I used tea-stained calico to wrap my cage in….that’s where the fun began….. Let me just put it this way……I wish they invented a cool version on the hot glue gun….*ouch*! (I bet Jenny will show photo evidence!!!)
Jenny’s version went off on a different track….because she’s making hers for her house, which is a rental, she can’t add more hooks on to the walls so she decided to use a canvas backing (which you would have seen on her blog) like this….
here’s Jenny using her hot glue gun for the very first time……”watch those fingers, Jenny!!!!!”
not quite finished here but well on the way…
and you can see a picture frame version of her birdcage…..how creative is this woman!!!!!
We can’t wait to see what your birdy projects have turned out like. Make sure you send us photos and we’ll post them for us all to oooh and aaah over!. Ours are still ‘on the go’ but will surely be finished in the next couple of days and we’ll show you them, totally finished, real soon!!
All I can say is, these are two wonderful women….very generous of heart and truly beautiful people! I feel so blessed to have met them and can’t wait to ‘play’ with them again soon!!!!
