It is a rough life when you can roll around in your toys! Although they might just be ganging up on her here. Missy loves having a wrestle pile of soft toys. Her favorite wrestle buddy bit the dust recently, so in homage to Wrestle Possum, here are some pictures of Missy as she grew up with one of her favorite toys.
It is my second year anniversary on writing this blog! Hurray! I probably should have called it “Of Critters and Craft”, but the chickens are still clucking away, so we’re OK.
Since the traditional second anniversary is celebrated with cotton, I grabbed some cotton yarn from my stash to form my banner. I used a small bowl of water to wet the yarn, then wrung it out, which made it easier to form the words (especially the pinched parts).
I’m still enjoying blogging, and hope my readers get some chuckles and maybe even some inspiration to do their own handcrafts. Here is to another year!
My photo app very “helpfully” provided a look back on my food pictures. Except only one of those pictures is of something edible. I guess crafting messes with their algorithm. I never have been typical.
Not much growing in the coop, insects quiet, winter dreary, so I livened the hens life up a bit by putting their scratch in chicken toys. The balls are usually empty by the end of the day. The tube, not so much. The tube is harder to roll, and only has slits on one side, which may account for the lower use. I’ve had both kinds for awhile, but the balls have been used more (the tube was hiding in the back of the cupboard!) We’ll see as winter progresses if they figure out both devices.
When you haven’t spun in awhile, and open a new jar of vitamins.
Apparently I need to get back to spinning, because I really do have better fibers to spin than this. However, I feel like I need to make usable items from my spun yarn before I spin more, which is my hang up. I have several projects to finish up that are dragging on. So I guess I will spin the bit of fluffy packing material for now!
The spindle is one I made from an old button, a rubber band, and a steel mandrel (I used to make glass beads). I couldn’t find the spindle stand, so I used a serving spoon.
