The Owl Family Diary

Today is a milestone day!
It's long been a dream of mine to be able to produce 'craft' items for sale. Following yesterdays absolutely miserable weather I was able to spend time playing with fabric. The latest trend away from plastic carrier bags inspired my design, and all made from old curtains or dressmaking fabric:

I posted a picture on a forum - and I have my first order!
This is really exciting - a great lift on a very miserable summer weekend!

Well I now have 2 lovely eglus, one purple one green, plus 2 new chooks - Bertha (a pepperpot) and Beryl (a gingernut ranger). They are 2 years old, compared to my original 4 who are now about 1 year old. They are huge! And of course they are terrorising my 4 (bigger and older equals top chicken)

Here they are sat on top of the eglu run - surveying their new turf (the other 4 are hiding in the shrubbery somewhere, wondering what the heck's happened!)
But they are lovely girls, especially Bertha (now renamed Big Bertha the Black). She doesn't like to be caught, but when I do manage to grab her, she sits in my arms for ages and croons! Just a big softie really!

Well it's been a while since I updated this - got a bit frustrated with it as I can't upload anymore pictures! So bear with me while I either delete some to replace with new ones, or change blog hosts!
