finally finished

Years ago, I mean 1998 I started a huge watercolor quilt. As Loc decided to paint in my office I had to move it. I finished it a few years later. But the top layed in the cabinet until this year the Belgian Quilt club asked for quilts in degrading colors I definitely wanted to enter mine. So I layered the quilt and finished it after Nicholas's playquilt. Today I proudly present "By the light of the full moon quilt". The Wallon regional TV came and filmed it. Now who will want it?

new pet

While in California, my neighbor checked and picked up the eggs of Schalluleke, one of our chickens. She was laying eggs near the fence so he could easily collect them. He didn't pick them up every day,so on wednesday the day I came home she was staying and brooding on two eggs, plus one stone egg. This week wednesdaynoon I discovered that both eggs were hatched. However one of the babies was missing. Don't know what happened but the remaining one has a sore foot and can not keep up with a busy scratching mother. Actually it is too late in the season and it was too wet and cold outside so I am now keeping it in a box. It likes to be craddled in my hand. Luckily a chicklet can feed itself. But because it has a bad leg I have to put the crumbs nearby. I had wanted my chickens to be more friendly, but this one thinks I am his mother.
