Kathy, are you sewing curtains yet? I got so lonely sewing down in the basement, that I moved everything upstairs last night! Well, Michael moved the big stuff. We have three empty bedrooms on a separate wing so I thought, why not? We rarely have guests anymore, especially a crowd. I took the smallest of the rooms, the one without a closet. The daybed is in there for a quick nap, plus a television. There is a bathroom across the hall and a built in ironing board four steps down on the stair landing. Who's does that?????

Looks like a great setup for a sewing room!

Hey Rinda! I think it will work great for a sewing room. I have been challenged since moving here to put every space to use. That awkwardly located ironing board is mine now! I wonder how many other people have an ironing smack in the middle of the stairs? I guess you never have to go all the way to the top or all the way to the bottom to iron a shirt no matter where you are in the house!

How are the Isbars Rinda? Of the 22 eggs I set, one is getting ready to pip any minute, the sole survivor to hatch day. I have another 14 incubating, mine and shipped eggs.

That is a rather interesting place for an ironing board.

I can't tell you how many times I've stepped back and hit the bottom step with a hot iron in my hand.

First "clean" batch was only 3 eggs and 2 blacks hatched. They are just over a week old. The point I lost them at last summer was 3-4 weeks so I'm not ready to call it good yet. I have another batch due next week of 10 all kicking good in their eggs. They will be the true test batch. I'm getting 2-3 eggs per day from 2 hens and 1 pullet.

Just finished updating my website for spring, here are some of the pictures I took this weekend!

Ameraucana flock



My FIRST Barnevelder egg!!!


the double-laced Barnies.



BCM eggs- they are a little darker in person than the photo shows.



The black Isbar cockerels are just STUNNING!


Blue Isbar pair


Cream Legbar eggs- the pullets are laying up a STORM!



Cream Legbars, of course!


Exchequer Leghorns. I have tried and tried to find a good source of these, had one but she fell through so these are just hatchery birds for now.


Jubilee Orpington Pullet!


Swedish Flower Hens


My pretty little splash Isbar pullet

She's my favorite I think.

Very Nice!

I like all of them!

They look great Rinda! My Isbars live once they hatch, they just won't hatch!

Despite Chica's best efforts, Louis is clueless.
