Happy Monday Morning

Good Morning. This is Dude, the garage rooster with a Happy Good Morning crow to start the week.

The hubby rescued Dude from some folks down the road. Dude was beaten up by the other chickens and roosters in the pen when he was added to the folk. When he first arrived here he was beaten, bloodied, and most of his feathers were gone. He now struts his stuff all over the farm. 

He needed a good, safe place to grow and thrive. 

Be like Dude.....strut your stuff and crow about it. Let no one keep you down.

Creative Crown Challenge March 2011

I said I was going to do something with a crown. Well, I tried. I had all kinds of ideas but they didn’t quite work out. I thought I could make a crown from fabric like the rag roses but burnt my fingers with my glue gun (blisters). I thought about sewing something but when I took a look at my sewing machine and thought about the path I would have to cut through to get there I decided against it.

After spending half the day feeling totally inept (yes, totally), the hubby and I went shopping. I needed a little retail therapy and he needed filters for the car. Flea market first, strawberries $8 a flat, yum, then to Wally World where we saw his Aunt Sis. She started telling us about her farm animals which got me thinking, roosters! They have a crown on their heads! Alright, it’s a comb but don’t tell them that. They think they are the kings of the barnyard, especially those darned little banty roosters.

Well, I have the coolest vintage McCoy Rooster Cookie jar. Lots of folks have tried to copy it and get close but no cigar. This guy has a twinkle in his eye and the crown, er, comb, is red. I am might proud of my guy. I might not be much of a painter but I take a pretty fair picture and I am not too bad spotting cool stuff.

Check me off on the challenge Tammy!
