Cindy and Kathy surprised us all!!!


Cindy had made us all a "Chick Chat "made out of the fabric we got last year for traveling in the Hoffman Challenge. We have them around our necks.
A Chick Chat is a sewing chatelaine. There is a thread dispenser that allows you to pull thread off with one hand, a scissors leash for small scissors, a pocket to store them, thimble, and needle threader in. They are "darling".
In our hands are "Forkin Rooster Pin Cushion" to go along with The Forkin Family we are going to make. You guessed it...Kathy...she used the fabric from Hoffman Challenge for the body, beads for the comb, tape measure ribbon for the shank (leg) and large paper clips for the toes. She used Mike's hammer to beat and flatten out the paper clips for the toes just as she did with the forks.. If she keeps coming up with forkin creatures.... we may have to chip in and get her a hammer :<).
Cindy and Kathy had been conniving behind our backs to do this. We love them the animals and the girls. More later, The Ol' Blogger
