For Funky, Coco and Licken

This morning we found that a fox had killed our three chickens.

Now scratching about in Chicken Heaven xxx

Mama made Monday - going slightly (crochet) mad

My poor knitting needles have been neglected.

I can officially crochet.

Okay, so I seem to mostly crochet round things, but it's still crochet.

Here is my bear hat, which came out rather large - toddler size rather than baby, then I made the chicken. I know it's not Easter but I like chickens.

Finally I made the little earflap hat for a friend's baby. It is his baptism on Sunday, so I'm going to give it as a gift. Hope he and his mum like it; it's always rather nerve wracking when presenting a handmade gift.

Pickled eggs for Christmas

Now I know there is no skill is hard boiling some eggs and shoving them in a jar with some pickling vinegar, but here is my prototype pickled egg Christmas gift.

I've put them in a posh kilner jar...

added a handmade label with a picture of our chickens...

 

.. and tied with a ribbon.

Now, how many people do I know who like eating pickled eggs?
