We got mail! A reader sent in these awesome pics of a red-bellied woodpecker!!! Madison spotted the red-bellied woodpecker while hiking a trail in Missouri! I haven’t spotted any woodpeckers yet so, this is so awesome! I do have a little confession, Madison isn’t just any reader….she’s my 16 yr old niece! I was excited when she told me to check my email because she […]
6 Weeks until our 1st Craft Show in Arlington!
We are about six weeks from our first craft show so, yesterday was another project day! We had pretty weather and we spent most of the day outside! My husband drilled holes and I measured chain, glued, and took pictures! Below are just a few of the feeders that we’ll have available at the craft show. We’re still […]
Our future Billion Dollar Birdfeeder Business!
Yesterday, we committed the whole day to working on our newest project…..bird feeders! We are making custom bird feeders out of whatever cute stuff we find including wine bottles! The hardest part of the wine bottle feeders is drilling the glass! So, that’s where my husband comes in the picture! This was the first time that […]
My Newest Bird-Brained Idea!
Wow! Where does the time go?! It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted anything. It’s been one thing after another! So, I made a little time to ‘pound the keys’ to share my new brilliant idea! (Yeah, that’s what my husband said too, “Oh boy, what now?!”) I’m going to make bird feeders!!! and […]
The Great Backyard Bird Count was today!

I submitted my count to the project and I was very happy since this is my first time participating! The morning started off at 6:45am with a blue bird sitting on the feeder closest to my window! […]
Addicted to bird-watching!
I’ve decided that I’m going to create a “bird sanctuary” in my yard for wild birds! I really love wild birds because there’s not a lot of commitment involved and I don’t think they should be caged up anyhow! Not to mention, I don’t have to clean a cage full of poop and seeds! I can put a feeder […]
"Clyde, you're a charismatic bird!"
I’m becoming obsessed with looking out the window in the morning and throughout the rest of the day to see if my feathered friends are stopping by my feeders! And they have! Bonnie & Clyde both stopped by this weekend to dine in my “tree-eatery”. The funny thing about Clyde, the Cardinal, is that he likes […]
"Simply Birdie!"
Yes, that’s right…..I’m feeding the birds! I picked up a small window feeder last week & filled it with a “Songbird Mix”. I had birds within a few hours! Then, I hung a platform feeder in a tree and we’ve had some chickadees and a male and female Cardinal. Cardinals especially like platform feeders and this couple […]
