In the Chicken Kitchen

Ok, its totally like the freaking Artic Circle outside, jeepers.
A small, somewhat baldish (mostly on the undercarriage) little dogue could freeze right to the sidewalk. That's why Marcel and I are laying low and observing the goings-on in the Chicken Kitchen, where its been an eventful day.

Because first, this appeared on the kitchen window, ok its not a chicken but we thought it was pretty and also auspicious.

And then~ when we were having our coffee~

It was shipped with love! Oh, how we love things that are shipped to us with love! Who can have enough? That's the thing.

Hmm. Can it be?

The curtain fabric for the Chicken Kitchen!

Mmmm. Chickeny.
Chickeny and kitschy! What could be better?
An Extra Bonus? Yes!
Because here is what else was in the box~

A smallish packet! With a lovely sticker! Who doesn't love stickers?
I haven't met them!

And inside~

Samples!
This is my favorite~

Because I dig those birdies.

In knitting news, I have overcome Sock Fatigue and am about halfway through the second, new and improved Trekking sock, with renewed enthusiasm. I made it a wee tad smaller and now I am thinking I may have to frog the first and re-do it so it fits better. To frog or not to frog. Stay tuned to the Knit-A-Log for developments.
I also have sewn one of the arms onto Joey's green sweater.
Pitchers to come.

Oh, and plus, before I forget! For your viewing pleasure, the shelves in the Chicken Kitchen~

Now that I have space for them I realize how few I really have.
Hm.
