Thank you all so much for your nest building tips!!
I ended up adding a lot of things...
from moss to feathers, a few sticks and leaf fragments,
a purchased nest is tucked in the very center
and then one speckled egg.
I wanted it to have a natural look and feel ~

And you know what's funny?
I don't really like the color of the Rit dyed moss
now that it's dried...
but the coffee dyed moss looks wonderful
with the brown tones of the nest ~
and the smell?
I could hardly smell the coffee fragrance
after the moss had completely dried.

And here is my lovely desk after making only ONE...
I'll try to come up with something new to post about ~
I know you must be sick of hearing about these little things!

Hey Sweetie. I have been so bad about finding time to visit lately. I'm going to have to come back and look at all you recent post. This birds nest basket is gorgeous but I have to be honest Dawn...I'm never surprised by you. That's a compliment by the way, all your work is amazing and breath-taking!!! I love the shoe in the cloche, it's so precious.
I just scheduled a post about a very not so pretty giveaway but one I know you could use. I hope you'll stop by tomorrow and enter.
Hugs and love, Tracy :)

I knew you would work it out. Looks great and you'll be representing Georgia in style. Love it!!
The peat pot nest is scrumptious! I knew it would be.
Love seeing your desk ~ I have one of those green mats. It's a great work surface.
Your little table looks so pretty ~ someday my work space will have pretty areas of inspiration in it. I love the spoon with the paper nest ~ that's so sweet!
You were right ~ I needed a tissue while reading that poem. Thank you for sharing Nita Jo with us.
Love your little pots. Funny how you went back to the original idea of coffee. Sweet photo. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend. I'm taking 2 of my GRANDS to see Peter Pan at the Chidrens Theater. HUGS! Charlene
I never get sick of hearing about your creative trial and errors. I would never have tried to dye the moss. you rock! As for the table, whoever said less is more was nuts. More is wonderful! Thank you for sharing! ~Robin~

Dawn,
Loving your sweet little peat pot nest! I know what you mean about the coffee smell, I've used it quite a bit but luckily it does wear off...just needs time and fresh air :).
Have a great day!!!

Dawn, Thank you for sharing my post. The poem really touched my heart. I labeled it "anonymous" but would love to credit the author if anyone out there knows their name.
I loved getting to post a couple of the images you have been so generous to share with us! Your mother and child images always tug at my heart.
Blessings!

Dear Queen of the Peet Pots,
Love them! I think you've got your perfect recipe, now go make 1oo of them! LOL Thanks for the link to Nita JO, I'm bawling my eyes out. Lisa
Hi, Dawn! I love the nest in the pot. How did you get the paper onto the pot. That is a clay pot, right? What glue worked? I love putting nests in things, too, and was thinking of something like this with moss I collected from a river out here. I love the paper on the pot.
I love the baby shoe in the cloche!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it Clara's.
God bless,
Elizabeth
wow all those are so beautiful! you are so talented :)
p.s thank you for the hug... my mom passed it on to me.
Dawn, it was amazing to go to your blog today and see how the nest evolved. i love it- esp the wire. Thanks for sharing your table- check out my blog for todays pix of my "studio" (AKA- the CRAFT room)

It's always fun to watch the process. Glad to know that the coffee was just the thing in the end. (I'd not mind a little birdy barista!) Off to read the poem with my tissue in hand. Oh, btw, your project is wonderful!
I love your sweet nest and how it turned out. Thank you for sharing your trials and forging ahead. Lovely results. Happy creating...
Dawn, you final creation is wonderful..what a beautiful centerpiece to display. And I love your little vignette...those bronze hands are really charming.
Cindy
The nested pot turned out gorgeous!!! I love it and now I want to try to make one for myself.
