Kauai chickens ~

Rooster with three point comb and hen with two ~

She is 1" smaller ~

 

Inspired by the roosters and chickens on Kauai, I went in search of a tutorial for chicken pincushions. There are many but none exactly like I wanted. So, because of all the crafty people on the internet, I was able to use some of the techniques for making quilt blocks to make these cute little guys!

One can not have enough pincushions ~ right?

Oatmeal Graham & White Breads ~

One of February's bread is the Oatmeal-Graham bread. A good healthy dose of whole grains and perfect for a cold, rainy afternoon. I promise I did not deviate from Ms Hensperger's recipe this time. I have made her white breads before and I like that they can be done all in the very same day. 

 

 

I love how the yeast foams up and rises while never flowing over the sides.

Perfect structure....looks like a latte.

On my cutting table is a new tote for dd #3, more flags and the scrappy trip around the world. I also have been thinking about the next SDMQG meeting. We are supposed to bring a pincushion to swap with the other members. I have time. Any suggestions from you dear readers? Would love to hear from you.

Have a great week
