Flock!

Car seats and a little thank you!

After some grunting and talking to myself today, the three seats in my car all match, and I have 2 9m+ car seats to release into the local community via freecycle! Matty and Daisy have moved up to back-and-booster seats and Mary is in Daisy's which I shared the recovering of on my blog, sometime ago!



And this little chicken is another thank you gift - quite fond of chickens these days!

Hello!

My we do love chickens! Here are two of my doorstops, one will be for the girls' bedroom...

I have been ...

Putting Skinny-chicken the doorstop to work at the back door ... the children love her so much, they stop and pick her up for a cuddle ... the door closes!



Running up some fresh and funky bunting from some genuine found-in-a-loft fabrics ...



Finally using up some old press-studs on Jackets for Edward Tulanes! Wont get any more at the price, or that place! The half-pence coin was axed when I was around 12 years old. We collected them up in school for charity.



Covering a chair seat, and all of my small cushions with fresh new fabrics ... and then I covered a chair seat in fabric from a skirt that shrank in the wash!



Watched the Fuzzies admire the new colours!

To remember skinny-chicken ...

A new chicken door-stop to hold open out back door!



WE call this one skinny chicken. Like Daisy says, we will never forget her.

Chicken run!

it was time to stop squeazing in between the clothes pegs and have a proper chicken run - with a gate! First, we had to free the chickens, and they were all over the grass at once!



the two buff Orpingtons seem to be the gaffers on this project ...



but the black tails are happy to lend a had to Doug too - this one is off to look for a left-handed spanner ...



my camera is something of an attraction too, and i feel a bit wary when those beaks start to loom large in my veiw-finder!



Any work in the garden calls for lots of builders'(TM) tea - just ask Mary!



Looks like all our girls really like to play together! And that keeps the chickens from under Doug's feet - they didn't even quake when he fetched out an axe!



Our cuddliest-Chicken has a nice sit down with Matty and Daisy!



And the work is completed in one day - I just had to pick all the pooh off the lawn the next day, before letting the children out to play!


Thank you Doug xxxx

We love our chickens!

and today, they get a new fence and gate - going into see them will be much easier!

cuddle time ...

some times, you have to stop what you are doing ...



and cuddle a buff Orpington!
