Every year I decorate this tree full of edible bird ornaments. Click on this link for all the DIY ornaments: <a href="http://rebeccasbirdgardensblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-christmas-tree-for-birds.html">A Christmas Tree for the Birds</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure who enjoys the tree the most - me or my backyard birds!</div>

I added a new ornament to the tree this year! - It's a suet snowflake!<br />

I purchased <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078CQTYSB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">Silicone Snowflake Molds</a> from Amazon - $9.99 for 2. Then I made a suet mix from:<br />
<br />
2 cups lard<br />
4 cups white cornmeal<br />
1/2 cup flour<br />
<br />
Melt it all together and spoon the mixture into the molds. Refrigerate until solid. I couldn't make a hole in the snowflake without it falling apart, but it fits perfectly in a canning jar lid.<br />

We only live about an hour from the park and have visited there yearly since childhood. Never imagined we be dressed in character and selling our art! The staff was so hospitable, the weather was perfect and our neighbor vendors were the best! It was fun demonstrating our craft using hand tools, visiting with park guests and of course - riding roller coasters in costume! The best part was that our local friends could visit and our family could spent a day with us at the park!<br />

New this year at the market - Air Plants!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have super cute glass orbs that my customers can make a hanging terrarium using moss, sand, rocks, shells - then top it off with a variety of air plants. I also have wreaths, wine corks and an assortment of other ways to display these fun plants. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Air plant care: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place in indirect light – avoid direct sunlight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Water 2-3 times a week. Submerge briefly or use a spray bottle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a liquid fertilizer – ¼ strength – twice a month</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Today is the first day the cooler temperatures have finally made me realize autumn has arrived in the Ozarks. The leaves haven't changed their colors much at my property, but the walnuts are plenty this year and they're falling like crazy. I dread the freezing cold of winter, but I love the colors and slower pace of this season... </div>

Just listed a bunch of new large bird feeders, "The Diner" - to the Etsy shop! Many have antique ceiling tiles on the roof. - Some of them I left the original peeling paint (sealed it to protect it from the elements) and I removed the paint from a few of the other roofs. - I love the flower detail on the tin! These feeders are made of weather resistant cedar and feature antique hardware and a skeleton key. The roof lifts up to fill with a large quantity of birdseed. - Hangs from attached wire. Check out all the colors in the Etsy shop. GREAT Christmas gifts!! Follow this link:</div>

<br />
A small glass bottle hummingbird feeder ~ "The Sweet Shoppe"<br />
-small upcycled water and beer bottles, copper wire, decorative accents and a hummingbird tube adapter...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A larger wine bottle hummingbird feeder ~ "The Tavern"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n8nKy5EZKNA/V1B565GpluI/AAAAAAAAJpU/V_QGVB3NxIkQu-_ufquDGVgZl8QtJrKYACLcB/s1600/tavern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n8nKy5EZKNA/V1B565GpluI/AAAAAAAAJpU/V_QGVB3NxIkQu-_ufquDGVgZl8QtJrKYACLcB/s640/tavern.jpg" width="397" /></a></div>
<br />
A birdseed wine bottle feeder ~ "The Vineyard"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9frkaOvEjCw/UvHA6gUvOeI/AAAAAAAAHpc/e9WAVynwyDAqbT0Dsnw5j3LgWcipKDByQCKgB/s1600/blue2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9frkaOvEjCw/UvHA6gUvOeI/AAAAAAAAHpc/e9WAVynwyDAqbT0Dsnw5j3LgWcipKDByQCKgB/s640/blue2.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<br />
And now - an additional wine bottle hummingbird feeder ~ "The Viño" ♥<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7c5WEZmCEPg/V1B75eDIqfI/AAAAAAAAJpg/5DRcLTCWuHY8lA0qeimQgVPGgEoB6TB3ACLcB/s1600/Hummingbird.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7c5WEZmCEPg/V1B75eDIqfI/AAAAAAAAJpg/5DRcLTCWuHY8lA0qeimQgVPGgEoB6TB3ACLcB/s640/Hummingbird.jpg" width="482" /></a></div>
<br />
My favorite part of this feeder is that the flowers on the plastic base can be positioned to make a sitting perch for the hummers! -The plastic base is actually two pieces and can be easily cleaned. It also comes with a reusable paper funnel that makes filling the feeder easy.<br />

Jeff approved of the design, perfected my carpentry attempts and we came up with our new product - "The Greenhouse" ♥ Jeff added a barn tin roof and I finished it off with a vintage skeleton key!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These unique planters can be purchased locally at the Farmers Market of the Ozarks or online at my Etsy shop! Each planter has drainage holes and a back keyhole for hanging. Available in your choice of dark brown or cedar with 3 - 4 planting areas. Perfect to display on a wall, table or deck planted with succulents or herbs.<br />

Since then I've noticed that their yearly visit is <i>always</i> the first week of May. Last week I started keeping the feeders full of sunflower seeds and today - May 2nd - they paused their journey and enjoyed a meal!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
A few years ago I held a class for the Master Gardener chapter that I'm a member of on making bird-feeders utilizing natural sources, recycled materials and re-purposed items. Of course the best bird-feeder is what nature provides: nuts, seeds and fruit from native trees, shrubs and wildflowers (and native insects)... Here's my hand-out for my "bird" talk I give: <a href="http://www.rebeccasbirdgardens.com/p/creating-bird-garden.html">Creating a Bird Garden</a></div>
</div>
<br />
The DIY wine bottle bird-feeder that I demonstrated involved drilling a couple of holes in a wine bottle. Once you get the hang of drilling through glass, it's a fun feeder to make. Here's the DIY for that feeder: <a href="http://rebeccasbirdgardensblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/diy-wine-bottle-bird-feeders.html">DIY Wine Bottle Bird-Feeders</a><br />
<br />
A few years back I upscaled my wine bottle bird feeder to include feeder ports that are incorporated into the bottle. This glass bottle feeder requires drilling 2 - 4 holes into a bottle - which would be very difficult to do without a drill press...<br />
<br />
A lot of folks have asked for the step-by-step instructions on making these feeders. Here's the DIY!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1: Gather your supplies</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qBeg7NiHPl4/Vovis17IN5I/AAAAAAAAJgg/LdxbA-PDOcE/s1600/winediy1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qBeg7NiHPl4/Vovis17IN5I/AAAAAAAAJgg/LdxbA-PDOcE/s640/winediy1.jpg" width="422" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Recycled wine bottle and cork - *Tip - use a Mr. Clean magic sponge to get the label off!</li>
<li>Feeding ports - I haven't found a source to buy these separately. I buy cheaper or discounted plastic bird feeders and use the metal ports from them. K-Mart usually has one for around $15.00 with copper colored metal feeding ports. Or - you could buy a feeder with plastic ports and spray paint them any color you wanted.</li>
<li>Diamond drill bit(s) - Must be the diameter of the feeding ports you use. Some ports have 2 holes that must be drilled in the bottle for the port to fit. </li>
<li>Drill press - Pretty much required for drilling a lot of holes. If you want to try to drill the holes in the bottle without the drill press, here's a link that describes how to do that: <a href="http://rebeccasbirdgardensblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/diy-wine-bottle-bird-feeders.html">DIY Wine Bottle Bird-Feeders</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.lowes.com/pd_60023-18562-42001___?Ntt=gorilla+epoxy&UserSearch=gorilla+epoxy&productId=3776015">Gorilla Epoxy</a> - Available at hardware stores</li>

<li>Copper colored chain - Michaels Craft Store</li>
<li>#6 32 x 1/2" bolts and nuts - I use brass and distress or remove the shiny coating with muriatic acid (pretty caustic stuff - be careful or just omit this step)</li>
<li>8 Gauge copper wire - I purchase this by the foot at Home Depot</li>
<li>1/2" Copper clamps - Home Deport</li>
<li>20 Gauge copper wire - Michaels Craft Store</li>
<li>Decorative accents - pendant, charm, etc...</li>
<li>Wire cutter, needle nose pliers, screw driver</li>
</ul>
<b>Step 2: Drilling the holes</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ox-mZo0Scv8/UugWASulFcI/AAAAAAAAHn0/cnqgRnDed-w/s1600/drillbit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ox-mZo0Scv8/UugWASulFcI/AAAAAAAAHn0/cnqgRnDed-w/s640/drillbit.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div>
Mark the location of the hole for the feeder port. Secure the bottle on the drill press and slowly start drilling the hole with the diamond drill bit. Stop frequently and spray the bit with water to keep it from over heating. It's a slow process... <i>I have plastic wrap around the bottle in the photo above just to protect the label - it's not a necessary step.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clean all glass residue from the bottle and allow it to dry. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Step 3: Attach the feeder ports</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AvbMHRlIf7M/VovslbSpHGI/AAAAAAAAJhM/_BpaDv3RkcM/s1600/DIYWineHoles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="498" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AvbMHRlIf7M/VovslbSpHGI/AAAAAAAAJhM/_BpaDv3RkcM/s640/DIYWineHoles.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Secure the feeder ports to the bottle using the Gorilla brand epoxy (works better than any other brand) and allow this to dry over night. Goo Gone works well to remove any left over mess of epoxy.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Step 4: Make the hanger</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mZ9fQfCD5a0/Vovsuuy933I/AAAAAAAAJhU/GhOh9D76FUE/s1600/DIYwineclamps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="508" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mZ9fQfCD5a0/Vovsuuy933I/AAAAAAAAJhU/GhOh9D76FUE/s640/DIYwineclamps.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
Bend the 1/2" copper clamps to fit around the neck of the wine bottle. They'll be too small. I have to bend them quite a bit to make them work, but they look better than using a larger clamp. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Measure the chain to the desired length and cut with wire cutters. Position the chain inside the clamp and use the small bolts and nuts to secure the clamp and chain to the bottle. (See photos)...</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>Step 5: Decorative accents</b></div>
<div>

Use needle nose pliers to make a small loop in the 8 gauge copper wire. (Also use a cloth around the teeth of the pliers to prevent scratching the copper.)
