Karan: Those are beautiful eggs. We use to have ducks and geese as a kid and we baked with them as well. Geese eggs are huge!!
Purr: Nice items!! I love that purse. That is something I have in my future projects for sure.
Happy Birthday Queen!!!! Yes...we are proud of our Queen of...
I ordered my cookies but I was good. I have gained a few pounds since Xmas. Depressed and cold around here leads to me eating more than I should.
I did get some scrapbooking done. Those of you having a problem I had a problem at first too. The internet is full of ideas and layouts and I...
Ummmm.... duh! I was showing my daughter the pics of her online and we noticed we forgot the other waddle on the chicken. For all concerned about our one waddle chicken hat she now has two waddles.
I hear ya Karan. I was up at 5 to work on that hat so I could see it done today. With 2...
Just finished it up! Thought I would share. I finally got the wings to look right. I tried a few different things and came up with those. I used the scallop stitch I used on my mesh hats. The better I get at crochet the more fun it is!!!!
Pics are a bit dark. Camera is acting up.
Sorry to hear about chickens. That is so sad. I still dearly miss my dear Lady Bird. She went way before her time. She'll never be replaced!!
I have been at work on my chicken hat. I am having so much fun. I threw the homespun down and grabbed some ecru white sport yarn. I hate...

I'm going to alter this pattern to make the chicken hat!! I think it will work. Leave out the hat and scarf and add chicken comb beak just like I did on the chicken I made. I have some buff fur and some homespun I...
Her she is!!! Fancy's offspring. I kinda just used all different patterns and just made stuff up. One of a kind. I don't think I want to make another for awhile.
Here is sitting with her owner. Sydney always wanted an inside chicken.
I'm not even going to attempt to read all the pages of posts I have missed. The holidays have literally zapped me. My brother just left yesterday back to Arkansas. Cleaning my house too. After I get it cleaned I'm going to take out everything from my kitchen cabinets and reorganize. I do...

That all sounds familiar (husband ruining kitchen stuff) My DH used my mixer to mix grout and ruined that along with another long list of stuff! hehehe
Maybe I should be glad my hubby doesn't do a thing but lay on the couch and watch football. He did decide to cook breakfast one...
Santa comes tonight!!!!! I woke up with a warm Christmas feeling this morning. I am so excited. My little ones are 6 and 2 and I love it!!
All you girls talking about your bators and hatching makes me jealous. I love hatching. I only did it a few times but I absolutely loved it. I don't...
All I can say!! Cute stuff...what a bunch of busy hookers! I had to speed read through all I missed because I'm really busy right now. Good job!! I've been working on a bunch of stuff for Christmas!
Mangled: I have one of those MIL and crazy inlaws coming too. I feel your pain.

mommahen: I would really appreciate that. That silly little chicken hat was my inspiration to learn crochet because I wanted to make one. I actually saw the real hat. I bought some chicks at IOwa poultry show from ChooksinIowa. She was wearing it that day. I was checking it out.
BTW...
Cute Cute Cute!!! Chicken!!
Speaking of chicken. Did anyone ever come up with a way to make that chicken hat? I still have the picture and I would love to know how to make it. I looked all over the internet trying to find a similar pattern and all I find is the drumstick viking hat.

Well, I can understand that. You are overwhelmed! i am glad you are not signing off from here! You would be so missed!
I just didn't want to let everyone down since they had been so great helping me get started.
Thanks for all the concerned PM's. I'm ok. Nothing is wrong. Actually things are going great and my crocheting is coming along nicely. I'm very proud of myself. I am not signing off the thread just the swap. I just don't know how I'm going to get all that done plus the projects I want to...
SE: those colors sound great. My daughter loves those colors. Her room is raspberry and butterfly blue. I have seen all those neat colors in sugar and cream and I even got a few on my yarn trip the other day.
Karan: If your in pain. WalMart has an over the counter pill that really...
Cold here too. I went to bed last night and finally got up and got dressed to check on the chickies at 11 p.m. I guess my mild obsessive compulsive disorder was kicking in because I was worried I may have left one in the run. I just had to go check. They were all inside.
Those are some...
