I Am No Nester

I'm trying. Really I am. Last week the Nester posted a Christmas garland tutorial. Easy peasy! Looked like a cinch. I couldn't wait to make and hang my gorgeous garland....

After 4 hours of entertwining garland fingers and
fluffing this is all I've got.
I have such a LOOOOOOONG way to go!!
My birdies and feathers are standing by in the wings ready to take their place in my garland!

In other news, I've been busy, busy getting ready for DK's birthday (tomorrow) and trying to finish up all of my Christmas shopping. Still have a ways to go with these things as well! Basically I've been doing lots of everything but haven't finished anything!!

Good for you for making the attempt! I never even try to copy the Nester. She is magic I swear. But yours looks terrific - great job!
