My Hen Day

Today was my turn for everyone to come for Hen Day. Usually, I have the house fairly clean, but either I've lost whatever shame I had for the Hens to see my house as is, or I figure it's being worked on, so why kill myself?

The project of the day was sewing me some more Chloe Toes snap diapers. I have a motley collection of diapers I've made for myself with assorted free patterns, but most of them are velcro closing, and I love the snap ones. Here is a picture of the ones we completed.

My ultimate favorite new one is the lavender with acid-green snaps and black edges. I call it my "Maleficent" diaper because it reminds me of the outifts she wears in Sleeping Beauty. However, they all just make me wring my hands with joy every time I see them. Thanks, Hens!

The children also had a stellar day. While we Hens were busily cutting, sewing, snapping and clucking, the children played outside. This is the result:

No, that's not blood, it is paint. Left over from one of my last Hen day projects, might I add.

Then later, my own precious offspring decided to undo some of their father's hard work on the upstairs walls:

"Someone" took a crowbar left lying around and smashed holes in a piece of sheetrock....punishment was applied.

Anyway, we all had a great time and ate some lovely pizza made by Rebecca:

And the new dipes got the Ivy seal of approval.
