I was chuffed to bits when I got my mitts on this beautiful Oil painting “Folksy Chicken” by Karin Naylor. She is an amazing self-taught artist, painting with vibrant colours for an impressionistic style.
I won it in a giveaway at her blog rosemary lavander and thyme and unless you count a carton of grapefruit juice I’ve never won anything before! If you haven’t come across this awesome blog before you should hop on over now!
Meanwhile, down at littlepoppits we woke up to a blanket of snow. We don’t get much of the stuff here so before school the kids had to have a snowball fight! The chooks were not impressed and hid behind the trees, but the kids loved it!
snowball fight!

That painting is great – such a perfect prize for you.
Unfortunately I can’t see the snow photo – no idea why but it just won’t appear no matter how many times I reload my browser. I’m disappointed because I love your chooks but I guess I’ll just have to close my eyes and imagine their adorablness this time.
Ah ha – I finally saw the photos and the chooks are hiding so well they’re invisible. The kids are cute though so the photo was worth a look even chook-less!
aww thanks! xxxx
I will get a picture of my chooks soon! they keep hiding!
Great prize! And your kids are adorable.
