Look what I made...

You'd think with a pseudonym like Mrs. Maker, I'd be more crafty, right? This is the first knitted article I have ever made! For Christmas BedHead got a set of looms and an instruction book from Santa, and last night I thought maybe I should give them a go. Looked at the book, and two and a half hours later...a hat!


I actually made it with the intent of giving it to my wee nephew, but Peeper claimed it as her own.

P.S. Technically I didn't make this, but I did it! Not bad for a single mama of 5 with 2 jobs at the time, if I do say so myself.

On my mind...

Little chick love!

These are our little gold and silver laced wyandottes. Our very first backyard flock! They are already so loved. I actually had to tell PoopyPants to close the box in the truck because I was having a hard time keeping my eyes off of them and on the road. The kiddos were so excited, I let them miss school to shop for the supplies and pick them up. We are keeping 5 and 5 are going to a friend once they can be outside. Their names are; Silvermist, Poachy, Goldie, Omlet and Charlie.

And thanks again to Rhonda at http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com/ for introducing this great 'On My Mind' idea.
