Well they are a fine looking batch of mutts, plenty of varietyWow what a great night I had, very tired today, we did a lock in at our Church kids had a ball and me too!! so here are my pics of the babies and they are mutts this round,
I've got about 3 doz mutt eggs in the bator myself atm, plus 1 which will be a pure CL if it hatches just a pullet egg so small & I can't see into it very well so I'm guessing "Prince" figured out his job since none of the eggs from his pen on 10/12 were growing, but several from the other gals in that pen on 10/15 _are_ growing ; fingers crossed on that one special egg from Victoria
The bulk of the others are the final batch I'm hatching out for replacement flock for my friends who had the disaster a couple months back, some gifted eggs from a friend which will hatch on my bday, so I'll be picking a couple to keep as my own bday treat. @cathiesue I understand totally. These colors _sound_ really simple but wow were they had to shop for. I'm doing a floral on the pink, but there were a couple cute non-florals that were tempting. I bought extra fabrics to make a larger quilt & those blocks will be taking a little more leeway w/ the color plan. I expect everyone's quilts will end up shockingly different from this swap when all is said & done just because of the trickiness of these colors. I can't wait to see the pictures!!!
I'm finally healthy, & basically caught up (to include having in the past 2 days organised a babyshower for a young woman (19yo) due Oct 31, I had assumed someone closer to her would have done it already, when I emerged from my month long headcold fog & found out not I was pretty upset w/ ppl. She has had a hard situation since her early teen years, but she did come help me for a week on the farm a few yrs ago when my DH had to to out of state to deal w/ his grandma passing, & this young woman is doing the best she can, can't say as much for the "baby daddy" who proposed to her back in 2008 & apparently this week is trying to back out of even being engaged to her!! But nothing is perfect, and this baby will be here in a few days, so gathering a few women together to show her some kindness for a few hrs. really feels like the least I can do. She was already on my baby quilt list, the shower/potluck is just extra).
Now I'm off to go quilt on the blocks for this swap! Got to get them done ASAP !
