a tisket, a tasket ...

... look at my new basket. with wheels, even! isn't it fabulous? rubelin no longer needed them (yes, there is another just like it!), so now they belong to me. yay!

wait! what is that peeking over the top of my new basket?

why it's elfling's cheeky chicken little, blossom.




blossom was mortified to learn that the photo of her, that i shared the other day, did not show her best side. though i think her tush is mighty cute, i can, as a woman, understand.

her sisters are safely on their way to their new homes, by the way. elfling did try to get ahold of them, but i managed to thwart his thieving ways.

time for me to be off. i've much reading to get to before said thief wakes from his nap. have a lovely day (happy canada day to all you people up there!).

~peace.

prezzies for the soon-to-be

*

two of my natural kids teammates are about to have teensy ones: melissa of sqrl & bee studio , & donna of day of rest.

some of us on the team are throwing them baby showers. well sort of. we are spread out all over the world, so getting together for tea & party games isn't possible. what we are doing is making prezzies for their babes, & shipping them by a set date. our hope is that the gifts all arrive within the span a few days.



assuming they are behaving, & are not reading this post, i can tell you what i've made. well, made & making. you see, a certain elfling snatched one away from manlyman, & proceeded to love all over it. by love, i mean to say that he stuck it in his mouth, & chomp-chomp-chomped! giggling maniacally all the while.



there he is, my sweet doctor horrible, with a cheeky chicken's head in his mouth. i had planned on making a chicken for his birthday, but apparently he wanted a specific one. happily, i have more of this fabric to sew another for the shower.


these chickens are much smaller than those for sale in theshop. i like them, so may have to offer both sizes. the smaller hens don't have crocheted crowns. instead, i used red twill tape. i love how they appear even more rustic this way. i may even prefer it. hmm.


i'll show more photos when i've got them ready to ship. perhaps even links to what the others are making. what fun!

~peace.
