Hibernating

Sometimes I think I might be a creature that hibernates during Winter!! Today the sun is shining in Hobart and although it is still very much Winter there is a warmth in the air that tells us that Spring is not far away. When walking in our neighbourhood the divine smell of daphne and early jonquils permeates the air and even some of the prunus trees are blooming!

So this is a good time to start making more nests ready for Spring! We have been walking on the mountain and found some beautiful lichen that we are using in a nest we are building.

One of the lovely things about working with foraged and collected materials is the wonderful gifts from friends. We had a fabulous bag of feathers popped on our doorstep from a friend who has been saving the feathers from her feathered friends in their garden for us.
As Spring is on our doorstep we can't help to feel that Christmas will be close on its heels! We are going to create some nests with a bit of a Christmas feel about them so we will share those on this blog when we are underway with them.

In the meantime, where ever you are based, we hope that you are enjoying following our creative journey together. Please feel free to comment or ask questions on this blog - it would be lovely to hear from you.

Kindest wishes
