  • Chocolate Nests

    Love that little hen.  :)  You'll see more of those as I post the rest of my Easter basket project here soon. Did a bit of baking today.  Well, maybe not baking so much as chocolate melting/stirring/squishing into muffin pans.  Does that count? ♥

  • Chicken Cop

    A convergence of two of my favorite topics.  :o)  Pretty silly, huh?  The idea came from a really random bit of conversation about chickens as stealthy police officers.  It made me laugh, so I had to draw it.  Hope it gives you a chuckle too! ♥

  • First Day of Spring

    Spring in Alaska…such as it is.  :)  Guess it will still be awhile before I can ride my bike!   It was nearly 50 degrees today though, so everything was melty and drippy.  A good sign that green grass will show itself soon. The chickens will be thrilled to get out & scratch around in the

  • Tiny Easter Crafts

    This is the first of 8 little Easter baskets I'm making.  Love those fuzzy chicks!  These photos were taken out in the snow drift that's currently disguising my front yard. For the last couple weeks I've been collecting small treasures from Etsy & Michaels in preparation for all kinds of spring time craftiness. Vintage metal

  • Starting to think “Easter-y”

    A chick perched on a chic!  I started sketching this girl last night in a cute spring dress and it just seemed like she needed a chirpy chick on her shoulder. Watercolors are my medium of choice lately.  I enjoy the process of "coloring" without worrying too much about the details. Then with a few

  • Owl City

    This is an image I've had in my head for awhile and I'm pretty happy with my first attempt at getting it on paper.  Have you heard of Owl City?  I started to say it's a music group, but really it's the musical project of a one-man-band, Adam Young.  He does a song called Fireflies

  • Egg-cellent

    Isn't this nifty?  I received this crazy-cool egg scale for my birthday last week.  Love it!  2 of my girls appear to be laying medium sized eggs, and one is giving us larges.  It's amazing that with just 3 hens we're keeping us, my mom and several co-workers stocked with eggs.  Once the chickens began

  • Beads

    My daughter gave me this cool owl pendant for Christmas & I've been looking for just the right beads to go with it in a necklace.  These big, chunky green ones seemed just perfect.  I like bold jewelry.  🙂 This clasp reminded me of a branch an owl would perch upon, so that was the

  • Flowers & Birds

    Compared to the snowy landscape I have at home, the flowers in Maui are so lovely!  I’m back now and spending time sorting through the 1000+ photos I took while on the island.  Love the girl on this florist’s sign.  Some of the flower photos were taken at the Maria Lanakila Historic Cemetery.  There were
