Hello and Welcome to the Chubby Chicken! I started this blog to share pictures of my handmade items that are available for sale in my Etsy shop (see links). I love using all kinds of media and materials to create...well.. things. All kinds of things. Items that will bring a smile to your face whether you are cuddling in to a handmade quilt or snuggling into a felted scarf. You could be smiling as you use a quilted dish drainer or humming a tune wearing your new apron. Perhaps a piece of jewelry? Or maybe something fanciful? Something that enchants you and just makes you smile. Whatever you are looking for I hope that you will find it in these pages.
So - go grab a cup of tea and settle in - and enjoy!

Fiddle Head Pin
I did not know what fiddle heads were before I went to Maine. When I was in Maine I saw them all over the place. On pottery, embroidered on clothes, everywhere! I even saw them in their natural state and then cooked up as a side dish.
This copper and .925 silver pin was created by me to remember the fiddle heads. I cut out and hammered the copper background. Then I twisted silver wire to look like the fiddle heads. Finally I soldered the fiddle heads onto the copper.
