Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[ChickAudie]

If anyone is looking for a baby gift for spring or summer, I have these in my shop but will reduce the price for BYCers.
$20 for this adorable newborn dress

$30 for this intricate newborn sleep sack or nap time kick bag (this only covers the cost o the yarn, not my 50 hours spent making it)


You can claim something here or in Monroe

Oh my gosh Jess, those are so cute! If I could shrink my daughter back down to infant size, I would buy both from you right now!

Oh, thank you ChaeBird. You come over here with all this rain and you're yard will be as green as it wants too

Those are 100 year old Lilac trees in our yard! I cannot wait until they bloom next month, our yard is going to smell like Heaven, Lilac and Jasmine

Wow!! It sure will smell like Heaven...and look like it too. How lovely!

I can't wait to get yummy smelling stuff planted here, but it's on the lower end of my list of priorities.

If I had read everything I have about LH before getting her, I wouldn't have gotten her, but really, she's wonderful and I've heard this from other LH owners also. If you want eggs, I think LH's are a great choice. I have one white egg layer out of 8 hens, yet probably 1 out of 3 of my eggs are white. She's an egg machine. And the eggs are huge and perfect <3 I think LH have gotten a bad reputation. If flighty means that she can fly, then yes, she's flighty, but so what? She's a bird! She never leaves the yard or runs away from me.

Don't they charge for parking? Cash only.

They didn't last year.

They haven't charged at any of the gun shows at the fairgrounds there.

I should see if I can get some started, I sure would want to take some with me when we move!

those are very adorable. I could see those on curtains, but also adorning the neckline of a dress of scoop-neck top. Sadly, I neither knit nor crochet (but maybe I will be learning...?)

I was thinking hand towels you hang on the stove and the curtain you hang over the kitchen sink. Would be too cute. I know how to crochet somewhat. My grandma taught me when I was like 9. With 4 little ones I dont seem to have the time to pick it up tho.

Okie Dokie!! I will try them out then. I was just worried. Maybe that is all they meant by flighty, but I wasn't sure, so I was trying to stay away from them. Thank you for sharing your experience. When we had chickens before, I only had RIR and Ameraucanas that I raised from chicks. I did end up purchasing a flock of Serama/Araucana mixes who all looked like Serama, but laid the blue and green eggs. They were pretty cool and the roos had the longest, most beautiful tails I had ever seen. Anyway, what I was trying to say, I have never had any white layers before, so I had no idea where to begin. Starting from scratch is a little bit of a challenge when you have no experience with the different breeds and personalities.

Honeysuckle Hills: I would love strawberries if you have any extra. thanks so much!

Still haven't made it outside yet but when I do, I'll surely look for some strawberries for you!
I have Tristar and the new Puget Crimson. (I really want some Hood and Shuksan; that's why I'm making room!)
Your chicks are growing! I think I may have a couple boys in there, we'll find out eventually!
By the way, have you worked your last day? Are you officially retired?
