Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough

I've been in deep thought today about "Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough".  Is there an actual chicken in the bread pan picking out dough bits?  Do people allow chickens to do this!?  Where have I been in life that my chickens can do the hefty dough pickin' for me.  Normally dough is chucked into the yard for the chickens.  As much as I love the hoodlums,  no way am I allowing them into my half pristine kitchen to peck off my counter.

Anyways, Chicken sweater sales are tanking because of El Nino and the unusually mild winter.  I've been knitting and crocheting until my fingers are numb to get ready for next winter. 

I've also started dabbling in cat hats.  Yes, hats for your cat.  Wonderful feline friendly party hats, aviator hats, Viking hats!  The possibilities are endless.  Not that my cats are excited about becoming models.  In fact my arms are a wee bit mutilated from putting said hats on my cats :(  They have turned their backs on me and my wild crocheting fingers.

Magical unicorns

So this basically sums up the way my day WAS going.  Just sanding some buttons and turning some wood.  Being chill and creating wood art like the magical unicorn I wish to be. 

Then all hell breaks loose and I remember parent teacher conferences, house cleaning, LAUNDRY, and all twenty eight animals need to be fed, watered and cleaned. Orders need to be shipped and bills need to be paid. My magical unicorness shriveled into a treacherous centaur.  Half crazed woman with wild hair and half lame horse. 

This is nothing five Starbucks pods, A Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas T-shirt and a quality hair straightener can't fix though. Parent teacher conferences will end with smiles, laundry will be folded, pets will be hugged, orders will be shipped, the house will be clean and the smell of lemon grass will fill the air.  NOPE! We have dinner to cook, homework to check, dishes to wash, wood to turn....

I can honestly say any other way of life would be just miserable.  So here's to living life to it's fullest and turning the madness into something to smile about.  And the cat box will be clean!

Hot Chicks!

A few weeks ago I sent some sweaters to Mr. Scruffles Fatcat.  This big guy is always surrounded by hot chicks. I tried this with my cat and lets just say my chair was shredded and the chickens were not having any kind of sweater action. My silkies really don't mind the sweaters....

At least not my girl Foot Foot.  Rozz, my ADHD Polish, on the other hand....

Basically took off running across the yard like an angry child throwing a tantrum. 

I often wonder what my neighbors think?  Not that I care.  We are a very eclectic family of humans.  The Jimmy Buffet sticker on the back of my sons PT Cruiser gives them enough to scoff about.  Not to mention my Great Pyrenees, Alaska, dragging up God knows what onto their perfectly manicured lawns.  Just wait.  I have Tax money, pinterest and an itch to create a whimsical themed Chicken yard!

Almost invisible

Making tiny boxes is one of the few things that settle my rattled nerves and express myself through my hands.  Plus I love the odd looks my family gives me when I show them my newest addition.  "What do you put in it?" Well, NOTHING. Your thoughts and secrets, fam. I could fit my darkest secrets in this box and only I would know.  

Every woodworker needs a fireplace

Welcome to my world of Chicken sweaters, woodworking, and humor. I decided to start a blog to share my world with other chicken peoples around the world.  This is a work in progress, much like myself. 

I live in a small town in Tennessee.  It may be small but my daughter Marched in the Macy's Day Parade with the Munford High School Band. My son won the National Championships with the Munford High School marching Band also.  So yes, Munford is proud and we're proud of Munford.  We're about ten miles outside of Memphis so you get the best of both city life and country life. 

This is basically a chwog.  A Chicken and woodworking blog.  A blog devoted to all the new sweaters I make and all the new projects I design.
