This is the Chicken Tractor Eggstraordinaire ~ where chickens work for their livelihood ~ and and the kids work for the chickens.
Here are some ~in use ~ pics ~
Here is a close-up of the new locks we put on the door, after we had our little toddler run-in.
Check out the snow ~...
wolftracks ~ well. I would like to tan the hides.... but so far, I have just put them into the freezer till I figure out the whole tanning thing. I will post pics ;-D We did our first litter ever, got 6 kits from our doe, & then slaughtered them just last week. We do still have a breeding...
hello to fellow rabbitiers ~ we haved raised a few silver fox, & love their gentle personalities ~ but, we also eat them ~ does anyone else here raise meat rabbits? Maybe this should be on another thrread? Also, I thought I found someone on here ( but now can't seem to find the thread!) that...
I haven't been able to get on, as it's been election time around here for a school levy/bond, and it's been a mighty hot topic ~ however, just wanted to let you all know I recieved my gift & I love it!!! I will post pics as soon as I can. Thank you!!
Mine is similar to paddocks, so I also...
greenfamilyfarms ~ I'd go strong green with yellow accents ~ maybe the corners in yellow, all edges in green. Or, ( hehehe, the fabriholic in me chuckles....) They DO have the perfect fabric for that quilt top at JoAnne's ~ yellow, blue, green & pink butterflies on a green background, and I...

Speckledhen ~ Actually, this is one of the things I like best about quilts ~ I have several from my great-grandmother that have spots where she obviously ran out of enough fabric to make that shape, to me it shows a major dedication to ~getting it right ~ rather than just putting in...

Thanks so much for the gift!!! I am so sorry for the returned package... but it was well worth the wait (plus I just sent mine out today so I deserve it). I love the "party in a box" theme... and the soap smells yummy too. Can't wait to try it out.
Oops almost forgot to add the...
ahhh ~ I must have gotten the address wrong, as the box I sent came back to me today ~ bock bock, could you please pm me my swap-mates addy again? I guess if it's not one thing , it's another!
Thank you!

Hi chicken jones ~ actually, it sounds like MuranoFarms knows way more about Button ( or they are sometimes called bumblebee ) Quail than I do. I just really want to own some ~ ;-D (I recently found out there is a guy locally that has some, so we are going to go that route.) As far...
I would reccomend at least three, because chickens are social creatures, and they need to have other chickens around them. Also, even one chicken will produce copious amounts of "chicken gravy" ( my kids terms for turds or plops) , which may not be very pleasant in a motor home situation. An...
WOW!! you ladies are so very talented!!! The yarns & quilts are just stunning! What treasures to pass on to your loved ones! And how on earth did Terry Lacey rate??lol!! Lucky lady!!! I have only hand-quilted 3 or 4 quilts in my life, I usually do the cheapo-deluxe tying, because it gets...

it's probably just their particular post office. I have shipped things all over the world, and had things shipped to me from all over the world, and some post offices are just not as careful as others. goldenlover, if I were you, I would let the postmaster know, sometimes it's just...
Absolutely fantastic Writer!!! You know, even just the basic skill of sewing a straight seam can be so empowering to a kid. Once they begin to imagine, just watch them go!! They can alter clothing, make useful things like quilts, & blankets, pillowcases, aprons, hotpads, ..... oh it's just so...
Sunny Dawn ~ wow ~ you were right ~ sewing up a lot of these hummers takes time ~ BUT ~ (especially if they last a few yrs!!) they are looking to be worth it already! If for nothing else than instant pots that can later be folded & put away compactly, instead of mountains of clay pots, then...

Me either!! I am anxiously waiting to see what everyone has come up with. Also, I am hoping that you guys will do the suggested potholder swap ~ I have been making a few fun ones in anticipation of it ~

I took pics of mine before I mailed them off to Erin. I...

Hey SunnyDawn, can you post a pic of these? I too got carried away with starting indoors, and now I have about 60 little guys that need re-potted. The only kind of landscaping fabric I've seen is sort of plastic-y ~ surely that's not what you made the pots out of? Or if it is ~ I...

ChevygirlBeth that is beautiful! My DH loves Kinkaid. What is the medium? Is it printed on fabric, needlepoint, hooked rug? I can't tell from the pic.
Everybody has been so busy! All your pics are beautiful and YES we need more pics for those of you that didn't post your's yet. All I'm...
