Thanks. Don't have the hens anymore, but I'm coming down to Austin for the Funky Chicken Tour on the 7th! Working on moving my sq. foot garden to another area of our yard and making the old spot a permanent coop instead of the moveable one I had. I still have the little house that they'll sleep in, but need to build where they'll run around. It was just too difficult to move them daily. Especially with last year's heat.

I'll build it myself
So I've wanted a warping mill for a while, but I couldn't spend that much money on something I knew I could make myself for a whole lot less (about $50, including the hacksaw and some blades, and it's oak). I had to figure it out as I went and I still haven't made the stretcher bars that hold t...
Thanks Dave. My sons and I were reading it after I sent it to you and remembering her. We really miss her.....

A Very Special Pair of Socks
Thanks for all the kind words regarding my grandmother. She really was a great woman and well loved in her community. We shared the love of knitting. She was my inspiration for learning to knit in the first place. My very first large project was this sweater for her in 1989. About five ...
They're a lot of fun. They are like little hens now. About half grown.

I thought of that, but the only time I have to weave is when everyone else is gone! lol.

Backstrap Weaving
So I came across Laverne Waddington's Backstrap Weaving article on Weavezine. I'd wanted to give this a shot for some years now and she made it seem so simple, I had to try. Guess what. After spending bits and pieces of my day yesterday with dowels, cotton yarn and my dremel I produced my o...
Hope it helps! Let me know!
Peace,

Now Playing: No More Gusset Holes
I felt a little guilty bragging about my class with Charlene Schurch and no more gusset holes and not explaining the technique. Truth is, I had no idea how to explain it in words. Charlene's book does a great job of that already. This video might help but you really need to get her book. W...
Those hawks are horrible! I'm afraid of when the Martins arrive in February. The Hawks should still be here for a time. Supposedly we have Cooper Hawks all year, but I've only seen the SShinned. Our doves shriek in horror when I let Aggie out. lol.

I'm happy to report that Blue is with his new family in Washington. He did very well on the flight from Dallas. They have a couple of acres on a lake and there's a playful lab on the adjoining land that Blue loves to play with. I've learned that I am not cut out for fostering rescues. It ...
Dan's whole entire family except for one aunt are Aggies. Can you imagine what life is like for her? lol. She was actually at the game with us and she just smiled.

We'll be celebrating with turkey and all the goodies that go with it tomorrow. Today we're headed to Aggieland for the big Texas Aggies vs. Longhorns game. We have neighbors that bleed orange so the Aggies NEED to win! I I'm not allowed call that other school University of Texas. I married ...
Hey there,
Next year we should see if we can get her up to the suite! It was a full house this year. We're going to go to Austin for the Tday game next year. We'd also like to go to a game and sit in the stands. You miss out on a lot in the suite. It's not the same feel. Awesome during bad weather though! lol.
Peace,
Jean
Are you on Facebook? I just posted a bunch of pics there.

Hey there Tracy,
Yet another thing for us to talk about when we get together. I can't wait for Martin time!
I bought a Sparo-door trap and a ground trap for the House Sparrows and Starlings from PMCA;. I haven't seen a Starling here yet, but we have a ton of HOSPs.

Thankful Thursday
Aggie and I are thankful for our new backyard with all our new little bird friends. Lucky prefers to be indoors, but Aggie never wants to come in. This is her new favorite spot: I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that it's almost Thanksgiving when we are being blessed w...

Who Knew?
As most of you know Joe is my youngest of four boys. He's a peanut even though he was ten pounds at birth. The boy is a handful. He's not a bad kid. He's onery and FULL of life. He has a smile that always keeps him out of trouble and he knows how to use it. Whenever it's possible he has a ...
Hey Manise,
The growing season is just weird here. Evidently I can grow a lot of cool weather veggies through the Winter... spinach, lettuce, swiss chard... It's going to be fun experimenting.
I'm really loving learning about all the birds. I want to know as much as I can by the time the Martins come back.
Peace,
Jean

Carole had a great idea to have "Thankful Thursdays". I thought, "What a great way for me to at least post once a week during November." It's really hard to be thankful right now with today's events at Ft. Hood, but I am for one very selfish reason. Dan, who would have been in the thick of it, ...
