Quite Possibly the World's Smallest Chicken Egg, someone call Guinness!We're heading out tomorrow morning for a week long road trip. There is so much to do before we go that it's hurting my head. Ouch. It's a combo of business and pleasure, though I could surely use a week long vacation without the business part. I was really hoping to make it out to BeadFest, but it's not looking like that's going to happen. Sigh.
I'll have a few posts set to drip while I'm away...so check back please! Wednesday I'll have a fun teen craft project and Thursday is my final free project from my new book with a final giveaway!
I think we may have the world's smallest chicken egg! What do you think? This is from one of our new hens. They're still a little young to be laying, but I guess we have an overachiever in the bunch. Quel suprise.
It's my 47th birthday tomorrow! Holy crap, how they heck did that happen?! I like to think that my childlike sense of wonder (or my extreme immaturity) has kept me young. That and copious amounts of spackle, hair dye and a smattering of Botox.
Now there's a recipe for you.
Yay for architectural preservation!
I share a birthday with another crafty redhead, the fab Cathie Filian! Happy Birthday, sista!
Oh and...CONGRATS to Eileen Bergen of The Artful Crafter for winning a signed copy of Bead Chic, email me with your snail mail address at margot@margotpotter.com!
