Over the weekend I received a phone call from a neighbour a couple of farms over. She's moving to Coolabah next week and had 10 little chicks and 6 hens that she needed to find a home for.... I love chooks and jumped at the chance to turn my tribe of 14 into one of 30!!!! 
So I loaded the girls up in the car and we drove the 90km's to the neighbours to collect our new additions....Miss Connie nursed one of the chicks all the way home and insisted on calling it Polly.....
Polly and Connie spent most of the arvo together so when she decided that it was time for Polly to join her Mummy for a cuddle that afternoon I was very relieved....
Round 2 of the washcloth swap finished today with most of the ladies having sent their packages on time... It's great to see blog posts popping up, showing what swappers are receiving from their partners... Abby, Bec, Janice, Liz, Carol, Sue, and Tammy have all posted about the goodies they received...What would you all think about an Xmas swap??? Leave a comment with some suggestions and we might be able to organise something to get started next month...
Take Care :)
very very cute!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould love an xmas swap.
I posted about my swap goodies.
Oh how gorgeous Jodie. My son Lachlan loves chooks and was always wanting to hold them in the animal petting zoos we had. They werent that tiny though. Apparently my FIL used to have pet chickens too and they would follow him around the back garden, lol! Miss Connie looks as though she loves her chickens too. Yes a xmas swap would be fantastic. I did one last year where you included a little xmas ornament, but you could always include a little recipe or a treat, and knit a dishcloth or perhaps a pot holder in xmas colors, anyway just a suggestion. I would love to join in again as the last 2 have been fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe chicks are cute!! You'll never run out of eggs Jodie! I don't think I'd be up for Christmas swap. I already am in two other Christmas swaps.... and have to complete sewing for our Christmas gifts for friends and family as well!!! Am keen to check my mail later today and see if my swap has arrived.....!
ReplyDelete90KLM to the NEIGHBORS!! gee this country of ours is vast!
ReplyDeleteooooh chickens!
ReplyDeleteI have been watching these washcloth swaps from a distance, but I think if you do anotehr in December I could be very interested in playing :)
I'd like some chooks. Just need to work out what we need, build it, and then we can get some. Fresh eggs are soooo much better that supermarket eggs!
ReplyDeleteA christmas swap sounds good!
I would love a Christmas swap! I didn't sign up for the last one because we were doing one and I was so busy knitting for my little girl's bday! But Christmas would be awesome! And I will be in the states where mail is a little more reliable! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for the chookens, the moer the merrier. I'm still waiting for my swapsies and so is my partner by the looks of things.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh My too much cuteness in one swap.... How precious is connie with polly!! Xmas already!! Count me in!!
ReplyDeleteOh! Miss Connie is adorable with her little chick!
ReplyDeleteHaving been a city girl all my life, I wouldn't know the first thing about caring for the little darlings. The thought of fresh eggs is appealing though.
Ohmygosh! That first picture of Polly and Connie is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteShe looks adorable with the baby chicks!
ReplyDeleteOh yay - another swap. I have though about this one - how cool would it be to make 12 items. You keep one and then send of the remaining 11 in a bag with a prepaid satchel. In return you get your satchel returned with 11 different things:) So you would need 12 poeple in each group (does that make sense? More than happy to help if required:)
ReplyDeleteHi jodie,have emailed you and received no reply, so will try here, I haven't got my partners snail mail yet so haven't sent, help me please, I need to get it to her!!! Hope she doesn't kill me...don't want to stuff up the swap!
ReplyDeleteLove the chick pics... Tracey
How gorgeous are the chookies, we cant have them here, council rule about noise or something. Its cool that you said neighbour and 90kms in the same sentence, I cant even fathom that! I think a Christmas Swap is a great idea, I will keep an eye out when you post more about it.
ReplyDeleteCan I join the christmas swap?? I have been watching from the distance for a while and thought it was about time I joined in :-)
ReplyDeletePS Love the baby chicken, I only have 5 babies left here, Mr Kookaburra has been swooping down again :-(
You are a little like me I drive 50km to the next town for lunch twice a week!!
