Parson's Wife :

I wanted to show this chicken potholder off! I haven't made it yet...but plan too.
Picked up this stack of cross stitch magazines....for $1, and it had this pattern in there...it's cross stitched...but also sewn. Really cute.

How do you like my soda pop bottle ruler?

Parson's Wife, I would dearly love to have a copy of the potholder pattern. I have some very old chicken potholders that a friend gave me. Her mother passed and Candee found them in her mother's things. They are darling and I'd love to make more without tearing these apart to see how they were made

Here's what I've been making lately. Keeps me from obsessively candling the eggs in the bator! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2037667#p2037667​

MissPrissy, I can't try your craft until my berries ripen. I refuse to buy any when I have all these cute little green babies in the asparagus/strawberry bed!

Jacie, your eggs are so lovely!
Everyone on here is so talented!! The dresses, the quilts, and all!!
I scrapbook, but my pages are definitely at an amateur level. And will prbably stay that way!

Just out of curiosity sometime when you have wool on your spinner, coul you take a picture? I have never seen that done and can't really imagine what that process looks like on that big spinning wheel!! I have trouble thinking of clumps of fur being transformed into a continuous piece of thin yarn!!

Now that is self sufficieny from the ground up!!

does woodworking qualify as "crafting" in this thread?

If so , I just finished building a row of nests across a 14 foot long wall in the coop. I have 10 new nests with removable bottoms for easier egg collecting and occasional cleaning.. the nests are only 18 inches up from the floor..

then above the nests I built a 14 foot long by 16 inch wide row of cages .. actually there are four cages with removeable dividers so that it can be four 41 inch cages, or one long 14 foot cage or 2 seven foot cages or one 41 inch plus an 11 1/2 foot cage..

each cage has its own recessed light and its individual light switch

the switches are mounted right on the 45 degree roof over the whole assembly..

I have 5 ducks and 2 goslings in a cage right now..

there are pans under the cages to catch any water or debri from the floor of the cage..

the cages have wire bottoms, but I have straw over the wire for the little birds..
