My Speckled Hen

I don't know if you remember, but a little while before Christmas, Lisa (daughter 1) gave me this cross stitch as a present:
I was thrilled with it, and thought she should have saved it and given it to me as a Christmas present. She showed me the design she had used, and on the page was a picture of a chicken who looked just like this:
I gazed in delight, and Lisa said she would make it for me, and promptly set to work. Last night Mr O produced this from out of his bag:

Isn't it lovely? And quite a likeness. I am most impressed. And considering she has a five year old son, a three year old and a four month old baby, I'm surprised she finds the time to do cross stitch at all! Thankyou Lisa, I am delighted with it.

  2. Anybody who can produce cross-stitch without losing her sight has my greatest admiration.
    They're charming!

  3. She is very talented! Especially adding the fact she is juggling mommy duties while producing such beauties. She's my hero.;)

  4. We're thinking of having some chickens, so any simple info would be great - though I don't want them wandering into my kitchen, lol too much clutter as it is.

  5. Ooh! That's darling!

    Speckled Sussex are my favorite breed of chicken.
    How thoughtful of her!
