Cluck-Cluck Everywhere

I love chickens, there is just something so fascinating about their simple habits.
We always had chickens of some sort around us, right from my childhood days to the days when our children were growing up.
Now I surround myself with chickens of a different sort, from trays to jugs and ornaments. These new items have just arrived in Granny's Cottage Shoppe. Now i need to finish my hand applique dish cloths -with chickens of course.

Hand appliqued bags

Here are some hand appliqued bags just finished by my friend Anne Hande. The linen bags are boxed and lined in lovely matching cotton fabric with inside pocket, buttoned handles and heart hand applique in crazy patchwork and edged in a little embroidery. The bags measure 16 inches from top to bottom and 11.5 inches across, great bag for all sorts of uses. Take a look at Whimsical's Wednesday wanderings for more bags.
