The sky is falling

In the coming days we will be receiving via US Postal service our chicks. 6 cute and cuddly, fluffy little eggs producers.  I for one am very excited!!  We have been researching, planning, ordering, considering, obtaining permits, etc...  The chicks will be in the house with us for about 6 weeks.  (we are praying for a quick melt), and then out to the back yard, in the soon to be build coop delux!  The coop building makes me nervous, we are not by nature a "handy" family and it will be quite a project.  We have the plans, materials list, but...  well my husband tells me we must wait for the big melt to occur, I am thinking this project might take a few weeks and well chicks do grow rapidly.  I am not quite sure what we are getting our selves into but I am sure it will be an adventure.

Sewing

I like to sew. Started sewing about a year ago when I came up with crazy idea that I should make all of the gifts for friends and family for Christmas....  I had to jump in with both feet, and I have to say it was difficult.  I was in over my head and sinking fast... but I managed to pull it off.  By the time Christmas came I discovered something, I really liked sewing. Really liked it.  Since that time I have been sneaking away to my little basement "sewing room" (its cold down there) to lose myself every so often in some wonderful creation that I made with my own hands.  I am learning new things every day. Sewing blogs are a blast.  What a  great big blogging world it is!  Who knew?
