If it’s too thick, add a bit of milk or vanilla.

BUT, I really didn’t want to waste any time running all the way back into town just for some nests.I actually don’t really shop all that often, so when I do, it’s kind of a big deal and not something I make time for everyday.

So, I kind of resigned myself to the fact that the nests would have to happen next year, and I’d have to come up with something cute with what I had on hand.And then I had a nest-piphany!.I took one of the packages of moss that I had bought to use as filler here and there and started to kind of mold it into a nest shape.

I think these were so successful because of the type of moss that I happened to pick up.It’s kind of got these long, twisty strands that lock together nicely the more you coax them into shape.

And it also happened to be the cheapest kind of moss at the craft store!

Here’s the label.. No fancy specialty mosses for me!This is special, just for you.

Sometimes you see pictures around this blog that make it look like we’ve got a pretty cozy little house around here and today you’re going to see that we have all kinds of ugly around here too..I wanted to show you how it’s really done and how really unfancy a process this is, so today, we’re keepin’ it real!.
