I took some pictures of my chickens on Monday. Our rooster, Rudy and the ladies are getting old, but they are still pretty. Here is Rudy. He is a Golden Wyandotte. He gets prettier every year and is gentle as can be. 
I never did name the ladies, cause they all look alike. They are Rhode Island Reds and about 5 or 6 years old.
Rudy takes very good care of his ladies. 
My little chicks are growing up. They are right at 6 weeks old now. 
I just love the feathers on the little banties' feet. Aren't they cute? 
I really like this little lady. (At least I am hoping it is a lady. I have 2 of them, so surely at least one will be female.) 
I want to get a case made for my little tiny walkman. I have an arm band left from an old MP3 player. I plan to make a case that I can slip onto that band. Then I can wear it when exercising, working in the garden, sewing, or whenever. LOL I also need to make a case for my SIL's GPS. I promised him a case last Christmas and still haven't made him one. I fixed one for Kevin's and that kind of jogged my mind. (Or rather made me feel guilty.) Maybe I will work on those this evening. I put the binding on the teapot quilt today. I think it turned out pretty good for all the booboos the poor thing went through. LOL First there was the deal with the borders not fitting. Then when I was almost done with the quilting, I snipped the thread too close and cut a small hole in the border. I could not believe that I did that. I have never done that before and hope I never do it again. So what could I do? I took some pink DMC floss and did a small satin stitch over the hole. Can you see the different colored pink just above one of the flowers, next to the border, about in the middle of the picture? I don't think it is even very noticeable. 
Here it is all done, except for a hanging sleeve. I'll get to it later.
Of course, we need to see the back. 
I have so many projects that I would like to do, but I also have other things that need to be done. I plan to spend at least one or two hours every morning that the weather allows working in the garden. Kevin reminded me that he is in need of some new summer shirts. I already told you about the cases I need to make. Also our son, Jon, would like me to make him a laptop case like his dad's. I need to finish quilting the disappearing nine patch and the Savannah Star. I have a whole tote full of flimsies ready to be quilted. So I have plenty to keep me busy for the next few months, but I wouldn't want to bet that I won't give in and start a new project soon. LOL That is just the way I roll. LOL I already have 72 - 2 1/2 inch strips cut for a project I will be following from another blog. I'll talk more about that tomorrow.

While I was there and had my camera, I decided to get a picture of the quilt I made for mom 4 or 5 years ago. It was one of the first quilts I made. I didn't even know how to put binding on it. I just wrapped the backing around to the front. LOL Mom must like it, as it is on her bed every time I visit. (grin) It is a Log Cabin Quilt. I really enjoyed doing this one, so I think another log cabin will be in my future. 
Here is another view of it, a little closer up. 
And of course, we have to have a picture of the back. It didn't come out very good. The flash washed it out. This was a beige colored cotton sheet. I hand quilted it, of course. 
I took mom to the cemetery to put flowers on graves. She has a lot that she puts on. Afterwards I took her by the store. She bought lots of groceries. I guess she plans to do a lot of cooking this weekend. (grin) Her birthday is Tuesday, but since I can't be with her then, we used today to celebrate. She has a stray mama kitty that she feeds. Her mama cat has 3 little babies. They are about a month old and as cute as can be. I picked one up and it hissed at me. LOL I never even thought about getting a picture. Sorry! I got home just in time to fix something for dh to eat and get him off to work. He has a 3 day weekend, so he was very happy. (grin) 
Here is a picture of the teapot flimsy. I have been quilting away on it. I only have about 1/4 of it left to quilt, then I'll add the binding. I may get it done this afternoon. This is a Thimbleberries pattern called Tea Time. It is in my new quilting book called 'Pint-Size Traditions' by Lynette Jensen. This was so much fun to work on. 
Doing these little bitty projects helps to break up the bigger projects. I am still quilting on the Savannah Star and the Disappearing Nine Patch. I will eventually get them done. I have a whole tote full of flimsies that are ready to be quilted. I also have at least 4 quilts that are in various stages of piecing. I guess there is no hurry to get them done.
