Pouting Chickens

Have you ever seen I pouting chicken? That is what mine are doing or they would if they had lips. Maybe it's more like sulking. It's because as "the man of the place" put it so well,

we now live in a
no-fly zone.

The clipping is now a 100% efficient. We had to remove more of the spry white ones wing and it worked.

So for the last 2 days the egg production has picked up. I was getting 3 - 5 eggs a day, now it's 8 - 9 eggs now. It should pick up more now that the young girls are now starting to lay. I have 25 hens.

I think "the girls" might be considering something like this

Off the subject but I'm writing this while watching my soap, All My ~~Problem~~ Children. I have watch this soap since near the beginning in the early 70's. I missed the first year. Now I know a lot of people do not watch soaps but for the ones who do, I can not believe they are taking it off the air. What is Erica going to do? And to think they are replacing it with another cooking show. My goodness there are channels for all of those cooking shows. I love to watch cooking show sometimes but come on now. OK, I'll stop ranting. I just realized I"m pouting/sulking just like my girls.

Till next time

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section 2 - 1' section Cut the 1" PVC into 4 - 1' section The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies. I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
