As I sit here looking at these little ducklings, I just have to smile. I do feel better when I am creating or making something with my hands. It's just the kind of person I am. Even sitting here typing this I feel like I am creating something to share with others. Often times you get in those moods, you know they kind I've been writing about because I've been in one, and you don't even feel like crafting or creating. This time I forced myself to make that little chickadee for my Annabelle doll. One thing led to another and I decided to make some ducklings for Easter. With the fog clearing in my brain and me feeling like the funk is gone, these little ducklings represent more than just creating. I feel better and feel like my ducks are back in a row!
I seem to be talking a lot about Tasha Tudor on my blog lately. It's because of the list I belong to and the good friends I have made there. We share so many fun things, I just HAVE to blog about them!
In Tasha's book A Tale For Easter, she writes about possibly finding a basket of ducklings next to your bowl of porridge on Easter morning. I wish I could post the picture here for you to see, but I am sure there are copyright laws I'd be breaking! If you have the book, take a peek. Tasha's daughter Bethany used to raise ducks, so I am guessing that page came right from their lives. Can you imagine finding a basket of live ducklings next to your bowl of porridge on Easter morning? I can't imagine anything more fun than that. Well, maybe baby bunnies! I did that for my kids one year. I love animals anyway, so I think I loved them as much as my kids did.

I love that piece in the book. Her drawings are so cute too!
She is my favorite author. I have many of her books.
I would like to illustrate books like her. I like to paint with water colors.
Your chickens are so cute!
