Hens in the Making
























I cut out 17 hens today.  I think I will probably dream of the fine feathered gals tonight. 

The kids and I dragged an old card table out in the back yard  and I worked on hens, while they played nearby.   
It is the first day of a two week spring break and the weather is beautiful.  Perfect for hanging out of doors. 






Melena created this cleaver little bird.  She added a zipper to the back end so she could put in chocolate eggs or baby chicks.  

She took the zipper from a pair of old jeans and sewed in on to the back side.  Smart little girl.  So creative too.

Adorable chicks. Will they all have zippers? How old is this talented child of yours?
Will you be selling them at the May event?
Can't wait to see more made up.
A busy fun day in the sun for sure.

Melena is 9 years old and very talented. She makes up pattern ideas all the time, whether it is sewing crocheting or what.
My hens will be bigger with funny hats. I don't think they will have zippers. But you never know. Maybe a hen handbag is needed. (giggle)

I was thinking a bit bigger and with a strap..., for a child's purse. You could market any size. They are really cute.!
