Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcycle Your Spring

Most of you are definitely in spring now and we actually are there also. The leaves on the trees will be bursting out soon and my "summer residents" of the bird families are back! Whooo hooooo!! They made it back up here. :)

Today I thought we would look at some spring items people make when they upcycle. And of course that means let's visit Etsy. 

Spring means it is time to get those gardens and yards spruced up from the long winter and if you need to add some lighting to them how about these solar lights from CheekyBirdy.

Of course one of the pretty spring flowers are poppies and look at how neat Rebeca from RebecaFlottsArts painted these poppies on window screens. How neat is that. :)

Time to put out the pretty spring colored flowers around the house. Now if you have a nice vintage cup and saucer you can make one just like the one from OliveandTrixie. I love all the pretty flowers in this one. 

Now if you are having a spring wedding or know someone who is this upcycled pallet wood sign from bluestrawberrys would work great for the gift table. Rustic weddings are really popular now and I think this sign would be great for one of them. 

It does amaze me what great ideas people come up with to upcycle items. Pretty neat. :)

Have a great week!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: How To Build A Birdhouse Video

I know this is a little out of the box on what I normally post about, but I was looking at all my birds the other day and waiting for the "summer residents" to show up and was thinking about birdhouses. We don't have birdhouses as most of our birds are ground nesters, but I thought for all of you that do have birds that use houses maybe you would like to see an easy way to build a nice birdhouse. I tried to find an easy video on it so I hope this one works for all of you. :)



Have a great week!
