Hello Friends!
First of all thank you so much for all your comments yesterday and for my owl the day before, he was fun wasn't he? I always love to read your comments and really appreciate them.
This Wednesday is my birthday and I had some early 'presents' when I checked out blog posts this morning...I had been a prize winner in two draws...some lovely digi images from Desire http://desiref.blogspot.co.uk and an original card by Patti at http://stationerystyles.blogspot.co.uk I love Patti's cards so am really looking forward to receiving it! Thank you!!!
Today, I thought I would share a couple of hens that I made recently: they are 'royal' hens, complete with crowns. The were made using a pattern by Tilda, which I adapted slightly from the original. I have made one more, slightly different and more in keeping with the original pattern, but I haven't photographed it yet, so will share it closer to Easter.
I made the little baskets to go with them, lined them with shredded tissue and all that needs to be added are so chocolate eggs (or real ones)!
....and finally, not a great photo, but here are our girls in their dust bath area, enjoying the sun yesterday. I swear our Black Rock, Cara always hides her face from the camera on purpose!
