A ode to two beloved chooks



For my sister, after her two feathered friends, Margot and Jacqueline sadly met their end.
Although Margot was apparently the more difficult one is life, Jacqueline ( the two toned one) proved to be the more troublesome in making. Although I can't really blame Jacq, i made soo many stupid and ridiculous mistakes I just shouldn't make on her and there was much unpicking and redoing ( I think 5 times). I think for me anyway the "better" I get at something the more likely I am to make these stupid errors, because I'm not needing to concentrate and it tends to be more mindless and perhaps you get a little cocky too. Have you found that ?
Or that last week just wasn't a good crafting week for me, 6 times dyeing a fabric, 2 reject bear heads and Jacq and her issues.
Anyway I hope she likes them. Hope Monday is a great day for you xo

Oh Jess they are just the cutest!
We have just borrowed an incumbator to hatch a few chickies with the girls. I love the idea that the girls will be part of the turing them and watching them for three weeks until they hatch. You might have to come back for another visit, for research purposes of course. X
