I made this little sketch last night - I clearly still have chickens on
the brain. Will it ever end? Who knows... there are worse things, I
suppose.
I'm so glad it's the weekend! This week has been tiring. Thankfully, chicken lock-down was successful in keeping all of the chickens safe last night, but we didn't trap the coon yet. I'm wondering if the stink the skunk left in the barn has anything to do with that. *grin* We'll keep trying! He hasn't redeemed himself...and he never will. I'm that mad.

Another excellent composition! How fun! I love the spotted dog and chicken. Please don't ever get tired of the chickens. They crack me up (no pun.)

I love that cute little blue doggie! He is so talented! You are too funny! I feel bad for your chickens...hopefully they don't mind their lock-down too terribly.

I'd like to be inside that head of yours when the ideas start clicking. :) Whoever would have dreamt of a blue spotted dog balancing a chicken on his nose? Straight from the creative brain of Anna . . . . Love it!

I absolutely love all your sketches, especially the chickens. I'm saving up so I can purchase a few of your chicken sets sometime soon. Hang tough on the 'coon scenario.

Hope you catch that 'coon soon! LOL Our family went to the Greenfield Village here in Detroit today and in their recreation farm they had a bunch of chickens like yours. I saw a white black-spotted chicken and immediately thought of "I-lean"!

hey, Anna, go to the feed store and ask them if they have fox urine.. you put this stuff around where you don't want other predators to come around... they smell it and leave the area (barn, chicken coup, or yard)
