ends

What do you do with all the ends that you cut off? Someone in our crochet group shared this photo the other day, for birds to come and gather and make a colourful nest.

While I think this would be a nice idea and would certainly add colour and softness to their nests, my kids also have ideas of their own:

All mine go into a jar on the craft shelf,

even a haircut to make the hair the same length :)

the end result:

...with our native plants thriving and bringing birdlife to our suburban backyard, I am still tempted to get a hanging wire cage for the birds too. I'm sure the kids will share.
