This weeks challenge at
Less is More is to use hexigons - a great excuse to pull out my chicen wire embossing folder. The stamp is from stampin up Best of Cluck. I stamped the image right on craft and then used prisma pencils to color.
As long as I had the ink out...I also made another one with my current favorite set : Stampin Up By the tide. That bit of string is from a bit of actual recycled fishing net - I just happen to have had it in my pocket ( really). I had just been netting my chicken coop so my baby turkey won't fly out and become a coyote snack when I'm not around. Want to see her?
Here are the newest editions to my flock, 3 chicks and a turkey (about 6 wks old now)
 |
| The barred rock (dark black and white) is Andy's, the dark Araucana is Carstens, and the light Araucana is mine, the rest are my sisters that I am chick sitting for her until they are bigger. |

| Normally turkeys are not pretty, but I think her spotted feathers are just lovely |
Daisy does a great job of watching the babies when they are not in the fenced area.
Thanks for looking!
I also finished another little project for this week - a messenger style purse/bag. I used two coordinating quilting cottons and then some craft weight liner in between. I used a magnet closure, the vintage button is cosmetic only. I even put a couple pockets inside. Pretty good for a girl who can't sew! I didn't use a pattern - just made it up as I went (I haven't actually figured out how to read patterns yet, soon!)
