Homemade gifts

This is the tea wallet that I made for my dear friend's birthday. I was actually looking for fabric wallet patterns on the internet (which I did eventually find) but I couldn't pass up making one of these.

Eggs!

These are the eggs our chickens have been laying.

Chickens!

These are the latest additions to the animal population on our property. These little ladies are only 15 weeks old and as of Thursday afternoon we realized that 2 of them are already laying. One started laying last week (which was a big surprise) but when we got one egg in the morning and one in the afternoon on Thursday we knew that we must have 2 layers out there. Chickens, according to the books, can lay every 25 hours. We are delighted to have these chickens and eggcited to be getting eggs!

Ottawa

Ottawa is a beautiful place.

With some stunning architecture.

And a really cool candy store. We met a lion or two.
Chipmunk 1#Byward Market was lots of fun. Very tasty
At the museum we saw....

Man! this museum has a funky ceiling.
At the National gallery we saw.... a number of paintings by famous painters.

Sadly many of my pics are blurry.

Upper Canada Village was amazing!



Chipmunk 2# at Gatineau Park.

The science and technology museum was okay.

Breakfast faces

We have been having high fibre muffins for breakfast on a fairly regular [ha ha] basis these days. Check out these faces:

Happy Face and Monkey Face! Now those are mugs that are worth waking up for.

A fun little bag

I have been feeling a little crafty lately. The pattern for this bag is from Bend-The-Rules Sewing by Amy Karol.

I started it yesterday and finished it this afternoon. I like the sense of accomplishment I am feeling just now so I'm showing you the final product.
