One day a week in my local newspaper the back of the front section runs info and pics of a topic. Could be a state, an animal, King Tut, anything. One day the topic was Guinea pigs. Pics, anatomy, size, got me inspired. So I went to work making one.</div>

The lemon tree is getting so big. It is hard to get a good picture, to get this one I was standing in the tomato bed to get back far enough. It is bigger than it looks here, I'm so proud!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just to the right in the black pot is a baby apple tree started from seed. I will plant it in the fall. I looked that up online. I have cages I made so deer won't carry the baby trees off. (This is my third apple tree. I have a thing for starting trees from seeds.) It is always scary putting something you started from seed in the ground though!</div>

I made the arm that the track slides into. It was cumbersome to cut it out on the band saw. I put cross pieces between the two sides to stabilize it which became a perfect spot to hang a photo of my IGMA pieces and "The Story Of Miracle Chicken" I think it looked totally cool! And it was perfectly straight! I thought I'd be shimming for sure.</div>

This is my room box, built as a setting to take photos, but works well to display minis at a show. I have hand made working lamps turned from brass and acrylic; a fire screen, turned, carved and painted in oil; scratch built tables and mama cat playing with her kitten. Here is a close up:</div>

This is a fun outdoor scene called Autumn Harvest. The tractor is wonderfully aged and dirtied by Scott Hughes and there is my beloved little Miracle Chicken! The girl is chasing her, which is exactly how we looked when Miracle would take off after a grasshopper and me being such a "mother hen" never letting her more than arms length away, would jump up to chase her!</div>

And with that, I have to say that perhaps the sun has set on this blog. I'm thinking of deleting it. Over the next few weeks I am going to give it serious thought. Google doesn't make it easy to want to stay either. Things keep changing, one day Feedjit works, the next it is gone....and I can NEVER see my followers list. Only on my phone. I think every site is gearing towards mobile.</div>

Last minute work for The Chicago International. These are terrible phone pics. I'm thoroughly exhausted, and overwhelmed with everything.....and then there is the show... hahaha! Anyhow didn't bother to use my good camera. This cat is about to jump up. In the scene, there is a fat gray and white male cat up on a crate. This female cat is looking up at him, saying " hey, the baby is yours"! :) and there sits the little kitten. The mouse is just because.</div>

So creepy! Every time I go into town, I pass the screaming tree. I kept meaning to stop and take a picture. So finally I did. This is a very hectic time for me,getting ready for Chicago, so I am not posting work. So in keeping with my scenery posts, without further ado, I present to you "The Creepy Screaming Tree"!</div>

The hair was a challenge because on pigs, it is quite thin, and I had to make it so the pink skin showed through, but still cover the glue from the section underneath- the previous "shingle".</div>

...my website, Miracle Chicken Urns debuted. Happy Birthday to me :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't even know what a computer was. But I went out and bought one determined to create a website. I was terrified of it and promptly shut the door to that room. About a month later it was really bugging me, as I am not a quitter. So in I went, sat there and taught myself everything, and 2 months later, uploaded my site!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below, is the urn that started it all, for my rabbit, Sniffy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My beloved little Miracle wasn't even born yet when I made this first urn. The website launched when she was 2 years old. I named everything after her, the love of my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The urns are hand made of wood, with a miniature figure of the pet, and the name is chip-carved into the top. Everything is custom, I make favorite toys for example, and can put dates too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back then the way to rank in search engines was good relevant inbound links. I worked tirelessly on my links campaign. Wrote to everyone who was linking to my competition personally and asked for a link. I was SO PROUD of myself the day I saw my site ranking #3 on Google! WOW the big time :)</div>

The first day of March has brought with it the first time I heard my Spring Peepers! Always my favorite time, signifying Old Man Winter loosening his grip :) Even if there is a pile of snow I don't care because I know it won't be long now! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has also brought the first signs of things budding out. It is hard to see in the photo but today, everything has begun to bud out. Unfortunately it is also horrendously windy but hey, that's why they call March the kite flying month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it is different the world over, but happy first signs of spring to anyone who may be reading this----</div>

OK I know this is getting old, but I can't resist making this post! The last post was Saturday with all the snow. This is Tuesday and this post has no photos unless you want to see my bare feet. It was 75F today and I was outside talking to my neighbor for a half hour---barefooted! It is still February. And the roller coaster continues......miraclechickenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04139533329860294180noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-39255088822902690142018-02-17T15:53:00.002-08:002018-02-17T15:53:54.234-08:00:(<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I was little, I used to call these squirrels "city squirrels", because animals running around seemed to be a country thing. I was quite pleased to have them in the yard. They are Grey Squirrels, although they are anything but gray! When I was a teen-ager, I used to buy bags of peanuts and feed them. They would practically come in the house when I opened the door to give them a peanut! I had to use my foot to block them :) I photographed them, they all had names and I certainly could tell them all apart. My little 126 instamatic camera soon became my 35mm Olympus SLR. A have a photo album that is at least 5 inches thick. I had a lot of fun, except when they would run into the street.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So in honor of all my buddies from 40 years ago, I decided to make a "city" squirrel.</div>

I went down to the mail box and wanted to share these cool pics. The last time I saw ice like this the power was out for 7 days. Fingers crossed :)</div>

I know something else I can tell you. See the second tallest tree (on the left of the shot)? When I was working at the farm (in the Miracle Chicken story) of course it was common for people to dump unwanted animals. Well one day I arrived to find a baby tree. just two little sticks and a nice root ball. In a blue plastic bag. So I put it in a pot 'til I left to move down here. Then I planted it (thankfully NOT under the power line!) That's him!! A huge beautiful red maple, towering high :)</div>

.....but it's kinda pretty I have to admit :) This morning, the view out my side window. Can you spot the little splash of red? That's my lilac bush. A cutting from my neighbor's 100 year old tree. I had to mark it so the power company wouldn't cut it down mowing their right of way. I've been here 16 years and last year was the first time they wanted to mow under the power lines. Never thought of it when I planted it there.... That's the only thing under the lines. I've got baby apple trees started from seed, and another lilac bush, a cutting from the bush back home from my childhood. I'd say that bush is at least 60 years old. Thankfully nothing else ended up under a power line!</div>

There is a recurring theme with the new animals I've been making. Togetherness. There are mamas with babies, whole families, or just buddies. Here are two little Doxies. One is a boy and the other is a girl.</div>

I've been having fun making some little woodland critters. Hand carved wood then furred, 1:12 scale.</div>

It would appear my sciatica has moved North....It is in my neck now, making working on these critters very difficult. Like sciatica runs down your leg, this is the exact same pain only in my neck, running down my arm and my index finger is numb. Like the freezing below zero isn't bad enough......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been hanging on my inversion table I got for the original sciatica. Helps for a bit, but not long before it is bad again.........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To end on an up note, the weather is warming up gradually to our January thaw on Thursday. Melt the piles of snow. My car is stuck down the driveway, I can go fetch it soon.</div>

Meet Mom and Dad Basset, their puppies and wise old Grandpa. They are hand carved wood, furred, 1:12 scale. I love Basset Hounds. I guess they are my favorite dog breed. I admit I got a bit carried away carving them, just couldn't stop and the family grew :)</div>
