pinspiration no. 4 - in progress

lest you think i forgot...this is my pinspiration no. 4 work in progress. i picked up this sweet little easter-themed cross-stitch in a second-hand store last week and i'm making something quite different (for me) from it. it took some daring to cut into the fine, even work, but at last i did it. i'm making something to decorate that stick that i hung on the wall in the living room the other day.

i didn't get it finished due to the excitement of the arrival of the new baby chick - i had to run around getting a heat lamp and special baby chick food, plus make a spot for her (him?) and her (his?) mama separate from the other chickens, so they don't hurt the little sweetie (after reading on the all-knowing interwebz that that might happen). but i will show you more tomorrow. it is rather fitting, in light of being distracted by a chicken that this little cross-stitch is of chickens, don't you think?
