I've got chicks..... their multiply'n

(can you tell I just watched "GREASE"...)

Hee hee hee!!

Well..... not only have I been CHRISTMASING all week, but I've been a little busy with
CHICKS all over my craft room, I mean area.... OK table.....

I got a WILD hair the other day...

got up at 4 am because I couldn't "SLEEP" until I drew it up...

THEN had a HECK of a time falling back to sleep

because I was SO EXCITED and just WANTED to RUN to the fabric store

right then, so I could get started!

BUT... I finally started counting sheep.... "CHICKS" and I FINALLY fell asleep.....

ONLY to wake again at 7 so I could
"PERFECT" my pattern,

TRY and figure out how much fabric I would need

THEN take a minute and meet up with my "NEW LOVE" Mr. Fab....

so I could start on my cute little CHICK-A-DEES!
Even with all the excitement,

I wasn't able to start working on them for another WEEK!
OH MY! Life is killing me sometimes! :)

BUT NOW!

WOW!
CHICKS EVERYWHERE!

So far...

12!

SO....

Are you ready?????

You better take a seat....
because you are sure to be SURPRISED....
because this is from
"If it ain't hot glued I don't do" gal....

SO..... SURPRISE!

WELL!!! What do ya think?

my little CHICK-A-DEE baskets....
HIS and HERS.....

AND....

I will mention...

NOT ONE ITTY-BITTY-SMIDGEN-DAB

OF GLUE WAS USED!

(very gentle pat on the back :) just kidding!)

ALL SEWN!

AND...some even by hand!!!

WHAT!?!?!

UNHEARD OF!!!

(Shhhhhhh- don't let my husband know...

Then he'll be all over me to get his JAR full of BUTTONS sewn onto his shirts....

agh.... THAT IS SO NOT FUN!

I just keep telling him I don't know where a needle and thread is....

DO NOT TELL HIM I FOUND ONE!

We can't be friends anymore if you do.....)

Can you believe it????
I know... not perfect... they have their flaws...
but for a non-sewer... not too shabby...
well, in a "non-sewers" eyes, that is....

I'm thinking cute little "girlie" chick needs to hold a egg or something...

Maybe if I get time, I'll venture down that road...

Maybe it will be a ADD on for next year...

I will say however....

The last ones were a lot easier than the first few!
(First one took FOREVER and even some UNPICKIN')

I finally figured out what and how to do it all....

Finally got a "order" of putting them together...

WHO KNEW sewing could be such a "THINKING" craft...

LOL!

Thank goodness they were patient with me!

The more they hang around though....

the more I think they look like a MINI-BIG BIRD! LOL!

Oh well....

I tried...

And hopefully, the kido's will enjoy them Easter morning...
(NO!!! I do not have 12 children.... but with all the "ADD-INS" to the family, spouses and grandkids... we're just multiply'n too! hee hee hee!!!!)

If anything... at least they will enjoy the "candy" that Mr. Bunny leaves...

IF they are lucky!

:)

Thanks to my sister for being a "GOOD SPORT" and cutting all the felt out...

while I "tried and tested" the pattern....

YEP! I relinquished 2 chicky's to her... hopefully it was worth it to her!

NOW.... back to Christmas-ing I go!

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
