Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Floral fabric Birdhouse

      So now that we have fed the birds and given them nesting material, I thought they might need a place to build that nest. I went through my Mother's stash of quilting fabric for inspiration and added some touches from the sewing supply stash of mine. this is what I came up with.........................


I used Mod Podge to glue the fabric, ribbon and buttons to a wooden birdhouse. I painted the base with a coordinating color, added a thimble on the the roof top and then gave the whole house a coat of  outdoor clear coat spray. I am so happy with the result I will be making more!

Check it out at LifeSeasoning on Etsy - I will be adding a kit to make this soon too! Happy birding!
