I Couldn't Help It

We have had our chicks for two weeks now, and they have grown SO much. From the beginning I had a plan to have three chicks, one for each of the Gurranimals. We had to wait for the third chick because we wanted an Easter Egger, an Americana which lays green and blue eggs. The feed store was getting a shipment of them on the 8th. So we made our way to the feed store looking forward to picking out our chick. When we got there we saw that they also got some Australorps. Yea, guess what we came home with. It could have been worse, if the kids had their way we would have brought home all 100 of the chicks they had! And of course three more sweet as could be baby black bunnies! So I think I showed some restraint in only bring home one extra chick!

So here they are, meet Tallulah Belle and Alice.

Look at how much my other girls have grown in two weeks!

Pixie Power Photo of the Month

Here's is the photo of the month for March.

Sorry, I don't have anything else to post. But there are new photos to come of a couple cute dresses I made for Sid.

Chicks

So, either this is the best and funnest idea I have had....or I am off my rocker. If you ask my husband, he would say for sure I am off my rocker. But thankfully he is very tolerant of my bright ideas. Good thing because he has to build me a chicken coop! I finally got some chicks.

Meet Boo and Omelet.

They are three days old in this photo. They were hanging out while I put their temporary home together.

Oh my, they sure are adorable!

Here they are are hanging out in their new temporary home. In about 4 weeks they can be moved into their new home outside. Hopefully my dear husband will be able to get it built!

I painted the sign to hang on the coop. I can't wait to see it all finished!

Gardening

I haven't been doing much crafting lately. I haven't been very motivated to sew, although I have a stack of things waiting to be made. I have been gardening though.

Here is one of my garden beds. You can see the corner of the other one, there are two of them. There are also pots all over the yard filled with veggies.

I planted peas, green beans, cow peas, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, purple bell peppers, white bell peppers, sweet peppers, jalapeno peppers, Anaheim peppers, papaya pear squash, radishes, zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash, soy beans, basil, parsley, cilantro, a few different types of tomatoes, rosemary, ruby red corn, white corn and pumpkins. I hope everything does well this year. I am excited to be trying a few new things that I haven't grown in the past.

Pixie Power Photo of the Month

It's that time already! Here is February's Pixie Power Photo.

Sid was awfully quiet, so I thought I should check on her. She was sitting behind the chair I was in and she found my tinted lip balm in my purse that was hanging on the chair. I don't think she's quite ready for make-up just yet!

Sneak Peek

I have actually finished this quilt but haven't had a chance to take a photo. So here is just a little peek, it was about 1/2 done when I took this.

PJ's for Ethan

Ethan already needed new pajamas. I just made him some for Christmas. That boy grows way too fast!


He had them on weird, they look puckered between his legs in this picture. But they really aren't.


They look right in the backside view.
