There is a whole family of bluebirds living in a bluebird house on our back porch. I caught them this morning during their flying lessons with their babies! They're so beautiful, and I feel really blessed to have them living here. The eastern bluebird has been in danger as of late and their numbers have been dwindling for reasons you can read about here.

This mama and papa are calling and watching for their fledglings as they wait. So. Sweet.

See, I really have been working! This is one of my latest projects and is still a work in progress. I am making all new stockings for my children and have completed two of the eight! I am also working on this cute advent calendar! I am really excited about this project because it reminds me of when I was a kid and getting a treat each day in December before Christmas. I had a little motivation to get started early on these, as I taped a holiday show last week, and these were my projects for the show. If you're interested in learning more about the show, you can go here to read about it.

Now, on to more crafting. I have another other exciting project I've been working on and need to go pick up some more supplies. I hope to have photos soon, so I can show you what it is!
