This is Fiona and she is looking for a new home in time for Easter! I'm offering her up in this Spring giveaway! ;) Fiona is made of ceramic and is hand painted with colorful flowers and embellishments by me. She measures a mighty 4.5" tall (about the size of a real baby chick). Those of you that follow my blog know that we've just added 6 chickens to our family, and I'm a little chick crazy at the moment!
I've also been getting more into homesteading activities, such as gardening and baking. So, as a bonus, I'm including squirrel and gnome cookie cutters in this giveaway! They are super cute, and I'll also send along my favorite, simple shortbread cookie recipe. Yum!

How to resist your awesome giveaway, Leila? Fiona is too sweet!
As a homesteading activity (not to mention my embroideries!), I love when I get time for gardening with my little witch, and baking something yummy for him. Those cutters would be wonderful to embellish your cookies recipe! ;)

My favorite homesteading activity is baking! I love sewing, but I haven't used it much as a homesteading activity- more of a personal accessory activity. I do have several home projects on my to do list. :D
I follow your blog!
Hmmm, favorite activities would be in this order: baking, sewing, cooking. Hubby does the gardening. And I am accumulating items needed to start making my own soap!

I forgot to add in my first post that I love baking, especially for my grandson.
I love the chicks and the comments are hilarious. I live in Tomball and love keeping Austin Weird. My future retirement rests somewhere off Mopac! I am learning to sew and am a newbie but really anxious to do some upcycle furniture. Keep learning, I am! Adding you to favorites! Peace.
I'm waiting impatiently for spring and time to plant veggies and flowers-my favorite homestead activity.
