Just back from CREATIVATION aka CHA!

Over the next few days I plan to share a few of my hundreds of photos I took while there!

One of the awesome features of the show was a little trolley they had that would stop any time you wanted to jump off and let others on.

 The trolley pictured would take you on around on the red route on the map below...

 

Here are a few photos that I took while riding on the back of the trolley...

THANKS!!

FaveCrafts Best Blogger Craft Event - MD hobby & craft

I was honored to be invited to the CHA Blogger Networking Party

hosted by favecrafts and Prime Publishing

In my swag from the CHA Blogger Networking Party I received MD craft & Hobby Chicken Wire and MD Metal Working Gloves! 

 

 

Wearing my MD Metal Working Gloves and wire cutters I cut a bout 20 inches off the roll of MD craft & Hobby Chicken Wire. On the roll it is folded in half, I didn't unfold it until it was cut. The square of MD craft & Hobby Chicken Wire was about twice the size of my finished nest, 9 inches round.

 

Still wearing my MD Metal Working Gloves I rolled the edges of the MD craft & Hobby Chicken Wire to form the nest.

 

Once I was happy with the nest I started adding fibers: ribbons, twine, yarn, gold string beads, rickrack and any other scrap fiber.

Birds take advantage of what is available... any scrap of fiber was game for this project!  The brighter the better!!!

Fill with eggs!! 

What a great Easter dinner centerpiece.

 

THANKS MD hobby & craft!!
