easter chickens

My inspiration for my next sewing project was from my neighbour Kat. She found it at http://sewing.craftgossip.com/sew-a-stuffed-lovebird-with-this-free-pattern/2009/02/12/

I wanted to make my daughter something special for her first Easter - so I made her these chickens. Then I wanted to make one for all the babies in my Mothers group (with a chocolate easter egg in their front pockets). Then my sister wanted me to help her make a load for the students in her yr 2 class. By the end - we were totally out-chickened.
