As a girl, growing up, we always had chickens, and it was my job to take care of them. I just don't enjoy getting flogged by a mean ol' rooster! lol Love your cloths and your hats!

People use regular sticks for that, but the bamboo is really pretty. Have a good Thursday.

You can tell they're very well looked after. Love the coloured eggs. I bet you'll love using your knitted cloth for your face. I have one and it is so soft. Knitting is much softer than crochet too. That pattern always looks good - I've used it many times too. I rather like the look of corner to corner patterns and am thinking about doing a baby blanket in the c2c which seems to be very popular at the moment. Hope you enjoyed your lunch. xoxDorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237217955755971642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-33766016861535871912015-01-28T12:51:48.621-08:002015-01-28T12:51:48.621-08:00What beautiful hens you have, they look so healthy...What beautiful hens you have, they look so healthy and, well, feathery.

I love the fact that her first one had that little bit of extra blue at the top.

I don't even have any chickens, but I still love my red spiral one that I have that's just like yours. The dishcloth (or facecloth) looks great. Such nice, even stitches. Enjoyed seeing some things in your yard. We have all kinds of things coming up too. It was nearly 80 here yesterday and it's supposed to be that again today. Your hats are darling!

Our hens have continued laying through the winter which has really surprised us. I hope they won't suddenly stop! Your wee hats are lovely and you're gathering up quite a pile already.

I never did have to buy any while my girls were on strike, as there was always one or two to lay. But now they are getting back into gear!

If we didn't have to leave home so much to see our kids I would definitely have a few of my own. Your hats for Taci are looking beautiful. I want to make some too, but first I really want to finish Dennis' sweater so he can enjoy it before winter is over. Your other pictures look like spring is definitely on it's way in Oregon. Is it normal to have this much growth in January?

I always have thought the bluish eggs that the Ameraucana hens lay are wonderful (I used to work for a bed + breakfast taking care of their chickens, etc. Love your new washcloth and yes, they work great as a regular washcloth. A friend of mine made one for me long ago and I enjoy it. What beautiful baby hats! What GREAT gifts of love for those families in South America! Your turkey tail mushrooms are fabulous--SO very cool! LOL--I am beginning to think it is spring Teresa with your rose leaves and the new blooms I am finding:) And, I have to admit, the ants I found yesterday in my kitchen. I WISH our bamboo was clumping not running--but we found out that the kind my sibling gave us is of the latter variety and now will have to take measures to keep it where we want it. As for other uses--we have a bench which was made from bamboo and you can make fences, etc. from them (we haven't made any of these but you can do a Google search for directions). <br />Yum, shrimp salad:)<br />Blessings, Aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-67773193849661403572015-01-27T14:21:49.772-08:002015-01-27T14:21:49.772-08:00Glad you are getting eggs again, I have never seen...Glad you are getting eggs again, I have never seen an egg with a blue tinge before so I found that quite fascinating.
