Yeah gramadona...there is plenty of time!

I know...all about the large group wanting one of each and I thought about that...we'll see...I'm thinking that I will take put the cats outside and line them all up on the floor in the den, then its enny, meeny, miney, moe..... :lol: Or it might be really interesting if I leave the cats inside to help me :roll: I'll get it figured out...you will all get fabulous blocks...how could you not?? They are ALL fabulous!

Ok, so I was thinking about making a strip of eggs, but the only problem is that when I try to make the eggs funky.... they kinda look like easter eggs :cry: Would that be ok or should I find something else.

Heeeheeee....they would kinda look like Easter eggs I guess. What if you make cut a little bit of the top off kind of jagged (like it cracked off) and put a strip of something else between so that it looks like a funky chicken being born??? Maybe the chick would be more funky than the actual egg shell?....just a thought...

Easter eggs!! Brookmarie I made a block that is a chick hatching out so they would kinda go together!! This has been such great fun!

All of these chickens are just terrific!!! You all have made them look so fun. Keep those pic's coming!

karen, what size was your egg block?

Easter eggs are still chickens in my book. Funky eggs like tie-dye or zigzag or spotted or whatever could be a fun addition.

I'm calling uncle and will finish with 3 sets. No "fresh eggs" from me. Sorry guys. There are too many projects waiting in the wings (pun intended) and I really want to do the next Boomerang swap too. Before that starts I must get these other things done. So I'll finish up my 3 sets of chickens and call it good.
