My friend, Tami, hosted another craft day recently, it was great to catch up with Birdsong Peeps. And it always means the world to me, to see the friendship between these ladies, that started with Birdsong! That just made me miss all of the "Birdsong Ladies" (as Sugarwings calls them) even more.
Sooooooo…….. I'm most likely planning another one……. how about- "A Snowbird's Song" in November? Just in time to make an elegant necklace to wear with your little black dress at holiday parties, some table top festive pretties, perhaps a banner and a smattering of ornies for the tree?
I'm thinking November 10-11. More details when sign ups are set to go…..soon!
Crafting at Tami's workroom just drove home to me, what a gathering of arty, happy, creative types can do for the soul. Making things together with my Peeps brings me a sense of community, gives me soooo many new ideas, learned from others in the group, and just plain old makes me grin.
I miss doing that in my studio!
Our day was full of joy, laughter, and creativity. I was on a roll, pumping out one project after another. Here are just a few, this peat pot is decked out then filled with a bunny Tami gifted me with and is placed into a snow globe that I redo for different holidays.
More peat pots and baskets were decorated and filled, as well as the large blue egg with bunny inside, pictured at the top of the post, and this egg covered in old ledger paper and foofed with a vellum bunny and lace.
I've been making these sugared eggs too. Some, I've decorated with, some I've given away.
Do you want one? Leave a comment here or on my Facebook post and I'll draw a few names, and drop these little confections into the mail in celebration of hatching my Snowbird plans!
ps- There are a few sugared eggs for sale in the Boutique too.
Beautiful sparkles all the year round!

I envy you your wonderful group of close-at-hand crafty types. I can pull those together but I think it might take a little more effort. Everything you did is beautiful, Karla (but then, it always is!)
I love all of your creations Karla ….I’d cherish one of your eggs <3...Sue
Delightful. Love that they will last and can be used next year!. We always do the eating eggs. I always take too many photos, as a way to hang onto the beautiful colors. {well, and mud effects sometimes too LOL} Have a great Easter Weekend! keep smiling and creating!
Yes! Snowbird Song would be fabulous!
What state is your song bird class in?
Stephanie, we are in Lawrence, KS.
It would be that weekend in November that I still miss Silver Bella being held.
We have our own chickens and they produce blue and brown eggs, already colored! I still buy some white ones for the little girls to boil and dye, tho.
Thanks for commenting, Sue, and for the kind words.
I’ve had health problems but hoping that by then I’m OK enough to start doing classes again, I’ve always stalked u online and u make some beautiful things, will have to see how I’m doing by then, nothing terminal just recovering from a stroke.
I LOVE your sugared eggs Karla! My mom took great care with our Easter baskets, when I was a kid. She always found beautiful handcrafted chocolates and little windup toys. Your old fashioned eggs reminded me of my childhood Easter celebrations!
My mom used to make special baskets too. I remember the real sugar eggs with the scenes inside. They were magical to me.
