Crochet "Chat"

Karan! Sorry about Itty Bitty!

I am sure you will be a good duckling mama!

Purr, you could go to the BST link for your paintings, copy the URL in the browser address bar and paste it into your Crochet thread post. You can also do this into your BYC signature if you want, so the link will always be there. Hope that helps.

Hi everybody, hope everyone had a good Fourth. I had no internet except at the library for almost a week,

problem with the cable company equipemnt. Finally got it fixed.

Sorry to here about the lost hen and the lost duckling. I know how you feel, I lost one silkie baby and the one OEGB baby, they got out of their pens and the dogs got them.

Been dealing with some other issues as well, and trying to get as much work done outside as possible while I can waiting for the cable people to fix their equipment.

Glad I could offer some help with the water wigglers.

Chuck! Glad to see you. Sorry to hear about your internet and your babies.

Purr, hope you don't mind but I tracked down your paintings and OMG I wish I could get them! They are GORGEOUS! I hope you don't mind, but I am posting the link for you here so everyone can see them. They are soooo lovely. I want the OEG for my kitchen and the silkie for my bedroom.

Everyone go look!

if you haven't already!!!

Psst, I might ask my DH for one for our anniversary...hmm....If you sell one, Purr, no worries, but I am in love with that silkie pic. I wonder if he would get it for me. hmm...

I sure hope the coop overhaul that my DH is working on so hard today will do the trick. I stepped into the coop for about 30 seconds and came back out with a creepy crawly on me. Darned mites! grrr...

Hate that feeling like they are all over you once you find just one.

Hi You all! Good to be able to see you again. Yeaterday I put up the fence around the coop and got a bit sunburned, so I am staying out of the sun today. Just a few more finishing touches and it will be done. I lost my blue frizzle cochin roo to a hawk the first week I moved. He did give me some babies, all males. One looks just like him. I lost a serama in a terrible rain storm. She drowned. So mad at myself for not building a roost for her. But I just couldnt do everything. I even got me 4 Buff Orpington Standard sized chicks for egg layers. (I think 3 are boys

} I am going to buy me 3 barred rock hens next week for egg chickens.

I am building my bantam cochin flock, silkies flock, and seramas. I picked up a black tailed white Japanese that was headed for the chopping block because of her scaly leg mites and I am healing her. Hopefully I will get a roo to go with her. She is sweet. The 3 week old Orpingtons are the same size as her.


I have a very small garden that was planted late, but at least I got it started. Still renting. Maybe someday I will own a bit of land and a small cabin or trailer. Then I can have all the animals I want.

Looks like my silkie flock is growing up mostly males. I dont know if you remember, But I had a black silkie male named Sylvester that died and his "friend" Hoppy has been alone since. Well I now have a blue silkie cockeral that is fast friends with Hoppy. They go every place with each other. No show winners there, but I gotta kkeep them, they are so cute. There has been no disease at my new place so I think the chickens were just too closely confinrd and stressed at my in town home.


I put all my crochet stuff in a huge box and in the next couple of months would love to get back into it. Where I live now is a lot cheaper too so I will be better able to afford stuff.

Hi everybody!

nice paintings purr!

sorry to hear of the loss of babies.

not much hear. put a few more things away. Trying to work on a afghan for the new baby coming in Oct. Parents decided on a sports one. Boy I tell ya, if that wasn't interesting looking for a pattern. Not to many out there with multiple sports on them. Think I found a cute one to do though.

thanks Ris it would have taken forever to figure out the link thing especially since I'm babysitting Moose he's 7mths old now time flies.
Sorry about the lost chick and ducklings and your serama Tiki.

Evening everyone!

Had a good time with my family yesterday but cut my finger really bad and ended up having a panic attack at the site of all blood. Typing is real interesting now. My posts will be less for awhile till it heals. Hate doing the hunt and peck thing. Cant find the keys if I look at the keyboard lol. Hope everyone had a good time!

 

[risurocket]

You're welcome, Purr. I still have my eyes on that silkie...

Showing DH soon and giving him the puppy dog look.

Wow, is the 7th one old Moose still living up to his nickname?

Ouchie, Algo. Hope it heals up fast. I know exactly what you mean about not being able to type while looking at the keys!

Tiki! Sorry to hear about your losses. Sounds like you are getting settled in though. Glad to hear Hoppy has a new friend. Good to know some roos aren't so aggressive with each other.

Hope everyone has a good week! Busy one for me with doc appts and running DD around.

Ris the photo of the Silkie is a little blurry its really cute in person.
