    Oh I like Nester! He is well dressed, sweet smile, a man...ooops....PIGLET on the move and has a soft spot for BIRDS! My kinda guy! ;-D Come on over!!! (I won't even make you shovel and will hide the bacon....)
    Hope you're surviving this rotten weather; I gave in to making a chicken pot pie for dinner and will have to bake something for dessert.
    Look out hips, here it comes! Ah-hahahahaha!!!

    XXOO~~♥

    Oh yes...I like him, too! A proper, preppy piglet, that Nester. For as bad as the weather's been here lately, I'm sure it's equally chilly and harsh your way...sending you warm wishes for a wonderful weekend!!
    Tara :D

    Nester is quite a dandy and I do adore his pink birdy friend. I love his springtime colors during this month of gray.

    Him? Make a mess? No, sir, I don't believe it. :) But I guess everyone's getting a little stir crazy over there, being housebound because of all the crazy snow. That's it, Nester! Go hog wild! Yeeehaw!

    Hope you have a fantabulously epic and wonderful weekend, Miss V! XOXO

    he does look a little too dapper to be making a mess Vee, are you sure there wasn't someone else somewhere in there trying to put the blame on him? I love his rolled up pants, too cute as always! Hope the weather isn't too horrible and that you aren't waist deep in snow! Hugs and warm wishes sweetie~

    Ha ha , that´s great in German we say "You have a bird" or "it beeps in your head" and both means "you are crazy".
    I don´t wonder he made a mess in your head when there is a bird on his.
    I really love you ;0)

    well hey, what a great character, very charming debonaire, delightfully anthropomorphic (I had to look that word up) He's a lucky chap to have been in your head :)

    How can Nester cause a mess huh, Vanessa? He's so darned dapper and has such personality. Love all of the grand details..he's like a 2011 version of Paddington with a suitcase! : ) Love your creations and I thank you for releasing him so we can meet him. Wishing you peace through the move..you know I am always here so no need to ever feel belated or anything. I know you're a super duper busy mom (SUPERMOM!) so take it easy and I'm wishing you some personal time for saunas or a spa day soon. Take good care and big hugs to you and your family at this busy, busy time! xoxo

    Funny, he doesn't look like the kind of pig that would make a mess anywhere!

    Hope all is well with you, Vanessa. I see that all this terrible weather we've been getting hasn't affected your creativity one bit! Have a great weekend!
