Shirts!

This past weekend we went to the Garland Street Fair. I got to see some t-shirts I designed for Blue Button Apparel. They printed them on a bunch of different colored (super soft) tees and organic cotton bags...and turned out amazing!

Running into friends that had picked some up - I of course made them pose for a photo!


Head over to their shop on Garland to pick one up (totally inexpensive) and proceeds help support this fantastic local print shop!

Chicken update

The ladies are at a month and a half now....

Lady Rene is getting quite the chub face - so cute! She is a grasshopper fiend. The neighborhood children sneak over and catch them to feed to her through the fence. Mimolette is such a little fatty, and only getting fluffier. She is a digger after discovering worms in a hole I made while transplanting clover into their pen.




The coop is dubbed the "Co-op Mansion". It is fully insulated with tin roof and a wall that opens behind the nesting box. It has a porthole window for light in the winter and a cleaning door (facing front).

Parades of children now come by to see them...it's as if we created a zoo in our neighborhood! We will be sitting in our kitchen with the windows open hearing little voices calling "Oh Lady Rene!"
