Cricket my featherless chicken has been determined to be broody since she put in the time I'm going to give her a chick. She has no feathers to keep the baby warm though, so this afternoon I made her a maternity dress. So here she is sporting her new look.

RJLinkletter - I encourage you to join! I was just like you prior to the last BOOM always lurking, pondering and fretting at the same time 
I jumped in for Boom 22 and made 19 unique blocks, received 20 amazing blocks in return and had a wonderful time! The gals in here are super fun and the process of making for others, with their inspiration fabrics, is so very rewarding! I say 'Do it!'

RJLinkletter, there are four mailings in this swap: 1)fabric packets to Janice, 2) fabric packets back from Janice, 3) finished blocks to Janice, and 4)Finished blocks back from Janice. We use padded flat rate envelopes for the shipments, which now cost $8 each. So it now costs us $32 in shipping (domestic US mail) to "play". If you can afford 4 such shipments at international rates, I'd say 'go for it!'

Good morning. It's starting to warm back up a bit here. Looks like rain again much of next week but who really knows what will happen?
Kass, I've just got to make my chicken quilt one day and in honor of Cricket, some must have clothes! Cricket is adorable.
I'm still behind on 23. I cannot seem to make much headway. Every time I think I've got time, there's something else I must get done. One of yesterday's errands was picking up Mom's "cremains". Well, if you've never done that, it's a bit surreal. Terriamn, it's exactly as you say...reminders of sis...and not in a good way as I know you understand. Hugs.
Re:23, RJLinkletter, you are welcome to join (I'd love some international swappers) but be aware that the shipping costs can be expensive and there are customs fees and forms to think of as well as time delays. We've had a few international swappers and although they paid the costs, I thought it was cost prohibitive but they went for it. Let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me at [email protected]. I'm in and out a lot right now and somewhat off my game due to my mother's death but I will get back to you. Please just allow me a few days. Thank you!
Will probably be offline until Sunday. Later, Boomers.

Quick fyi re:Boom 23, I'd like to start sign-ups about July 1 with F8s due in my hands about a month later. I'm finalizing the schedule right now. I'll pm admin soon for the ok to post on July 1.
