"Grannie's Hens and Friends" Book

I mentioned in my August 2011 blog, my interest in my hen family and the friends they have acquired. At long last I have spent the time writing a story for children with colour photographs. It has been critiqued by my five grandchildren (ages 5-12) and I have passed the test! I am selling it from my email address, janoberry@gmail.com and the price is $22. It has a slight educational bent, in that the breed of each hen is explained and on a fun level they all have names which children can relate to.

Inside hobbies.

I spoke too soon about the weather.It is wet and miserable today so very inducive to more tapestry. This time "Clematis" which is lovely to work. In between I am making patchwork quilts with some lovely fabrics a friend gave me from a collection she had whilst a decorator. I am always very pleased with them (even though I do them the quick way) because it is the fabric that makes them so pretty and unique. They do well as auction and raffle items for my grand childrens' school.

The chicken family and friend

Winter is coming to an end with some lovely sunny days in between chilly frosts. It is wonderful to see the buds on the trees and blossom ready to burst open. I have been photographing today all my hens for a little book I have written for my grandchildren. Each of my hens has a personality, they have names and they have had checkered backgounds. They live in a chic
house with Flopsy, my granddaughter, Constance's rabbit who thinks he is a hen because he sleeps at night on a perch with his friends!!
