Just packing a few handstitched and framed ‘chicken in a basket’ for the Pop-Up Emporium in the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre 13th to 14th November.
I thought a few finished beadwork pieces might appeal to those who find stitching the kits too much of a palaver….If they sell well then I might offer them on the website ????
Right, back to the packing – probably the hardest part of the show, but it should be a good event with plenty of crafty goodies to tempt me!
The children are finally back at school and I can get back to the ‘Spring Chickens’. Do I refer to this chap as a rooster or a cockerel? He doesn’t have a name yet but ‘Rodger’ and ‘Colin’ keep springing to mind – surely he deserves better? Anyway, better crack on as these chickens are booked on a flight to Australia before the end of the month. Meet them at ‘The Crewel Gobelin’, Sydney.

I don’t know how I managed to find a couple of hours to sew ‘Hen Two’ but here she is and I just need to give her a name – any clever thoughts? Fingers crossed I will find some time over Christmas for the other ‘Spring Chickens’.
Thinking about the type of house a chicken would like to live in. The sketching is easy, now I have to try and cunningly craft it from approximately 250 beads!
It is almost Christmas……. The cards have all been written and posted, the tree decorated, the presents are wrapped and I have spent a lovely afternoon watching the children perform their nativity in the village church…… Now I am thinking about beadwork designs for Easter! 
Chicken fans, any preferences for one of the hens? Please contact me with your vote!
