And we're back!

Been awhile, but we're back online. We've just added 10 chicks to our brood, and the kids are very excited!

Think Happy Thoughts!

I love StumbleUpon! Check out this website they led me to this morning... very inspirational site! Go HERE!

Got the itch!

The crafting itch, that is! Must be the weather... this time of year always seems to inspire my creative side. Etsy is really making me want to pull out the Mod Podge and get busy... hmmm, what to do first? (And if you've never used Mod Podge, I suggest you watch this video HERE!)

It's HOT out there!

Oh my poor chickens! I do believe they are molting due to the heat (we are in southeast Texas, and it's been over 100 for almost 2 weeks now!). Our oldest hen, Mama, has lost more than half her feathers (including most of her wing feathers). It's so sad... she looks so pitiful! I'm gonna try to get a picture of her and add it here later. We've had chickens for almost 3 years now, and I've never seen them do anything like this. The chicken coop looks like someone plucked a bird because there are so many feathers on the ground! All of them have dropped a considerable amount. I sure hope it's just the heat and that nothing else is wrong!

Cute craft projects

I am LOVING this site... OnePrettyThing is a website chock-full of craft projects (it links you to other websites). They have everything categorized by theme, so it's easy to find what you're looking for (just be sure you click on "categories" at the top of the page to get a full list of everything the site has to offer). My husband just surprised me with a Dremel tool the other day (I've always wanted one!) so this site will hopefully inspire me with lots of fun things to create. Hope you like it! Visit them HERE!
