Spring Arrangement and Winner Announced

Today after getting much of my housework done I took some time to make a Spring Arrangement for our coffee table/chest.  It is in the family room where everyone hangs out.  I started out thinking that I would see if I could possibly make my own birds nest from things I found outside.  Well "power to our bird friends" because I gave up.  I gathered small branches and twisted and wove them into the shape of a nest.  When I got finished it didn't look to bad but had no bottom and I would have had to cut down all the bushes in my yard to do it perfectly.  :)  So basically what I had was a small branch wreath shape.

Ok, back to the drawing board we go!  I found a cut glass bowl that the wreath would fit onto.  It looked really really bare.  So outside I went once more.  I cut some hot pink branches from a bush in our yard and thought I would add these to the pathetic looking bowl.  (By the way, if anyone knows what this bush is please share with me.  I have no earthly idea.)  I added the pretty hot pink branches.  Still needed more to it. 

Next I shopped my house (that's so much fun to do) and found some hot pink Easter eggs and a pretty little ceramic birdhouse.  So I started making my centerpiece.  It turned out pretty cute I think.  Let me know what you think about it?

The chest belonged to Trucker's grandmother and has been upstairs in a bedroom for years.  I decided to use at as our coffee table and sanded it and re-stained it sometime back.  I should have taken pictures of it, but that was before my blog.  The baby doll quilt in the center was made for me by my Great Grandmother when I was about 2 years old.  That makes it around 45 years or so old.  I love it dearly. 

Yes, that's still paint on my floor from the painting of our end tables.  Someday (when I find the time) I will get that cleaned up.
