Looking forward to seeing what the 'chicken drumsticks' are for :)

It's sounding very ingenious!
Deborah- Mwahahahah (said in a ghoulish voice)...it's another 3-parter! :)
Rachel-Unfortunately, the idea was...but the execution?
Not so much. :(
Piękne kolory. W pochmurne dni na pewno poprawi humor.
Karolina-It's funny, because the felt photographed as purple in one light and blue in another!
Intrigued by this design. Looking forward to the next post.
Thanks, Andrea!
Chicken drumsticks eh? OK, I'll be patient and see what you come up with. I'm sure it will end up looking just great. Everything else has, so far. :)
Sandie-I'm afraid that in this case, your confidence in me is misplaced! ;)
