My view going to the coop to feed the chickens this morning.
I have been patiently awaiting the first eggs from our Ameraucana chickens so I screamed with excitement when I discovered one on Saturday morning.
It is still exciting to go out and collect the eggs from the coop. It's one of my favorite chores of the day.
I have also been slowly making a dent in the Anna Maria Horner Loulouthi fat quarters that I got from Sew to Speak. At first I toyed with the idea of making a quilt but stuck with my original plan to make a wall hanging, pillows, table runner and tea towels. With the pillows and wall hanging crossed off my list, the table runner is next up. For the pillows I followed the basic instructions for a log cabin square from Patchwork Style and used a simple envelope enclosure for the back.
The chicken with a fro is hilarious. We don't have chickens around here in Southwest Florida, so it makes me excited to see a farm animal- I'm a dork. I love your loulouthi pillow and am so excited to see your table runner. I love those handmade things that adorn the house so simply that put your mark on the home. Those are the special [material] things to me.
