charm

My friend and I share the same birthday, which is coming up in a few days.  Since our shared day is so close to the first day of the New Year, I thought I’d send her something “prosperous”, and what could be more appropriate than a prosperity hen?  Nothing.

Now, she does own a strung up clutch of them that hangs on the porch door at her vacation cottage just like the one pictured below.

But, I thought I’d silently make her just one – a cute little prosperity hen charm.

And, I think you should make one, too.  It doesn’t have to look anything like the one I made, nor does it even have to be made with wool felt.  Create one to your own personal liking and think of it as your first(and prosperous!) crafty exercise of the New Year.

Now, go and be prosperous and crafty.

Cluck.  Cluck.

P.S. – for those of you who read my last post, kitty is making great progress!  Pain meds are no longer needed and he is able to walk, though with the stiffness of an old man.  Longterm senior care acupuncture therapy is next on the agenda.  See that, silence really does heal.
