Of Dragons and Chickens

Jam packed weekend! That's the trend for the year, apparently.

Dragon Boat Races! The Museum's new fundraiser. So. Much. Fun! My building, known colloquially as the Kress Building, got together a fun and fabulous team - the Kresstonites. While we didn't win any races, we also didn't lose any. BUT. We did win Best Team Costume! If you can't win, lose with style, right? Dragon tail hats for the win (courtesy of moi. Humility is not my strong point.)



Also this weekend? Baby chicks!
So much cuteness it's ridiculous. :)

Final Hatch Count: 20

Though I lost one last night, and have two more that are rather puny looking. Not confident they'll make it through. Sadface. One of the punies is the only Americauna egg that hatched. That's life (and death), though. Spending my lunch breaks this week driving home to feed and water them. They're going through water at a ridiculous pace! Of course, it doesn't help that they kick the pine shavings into the water, soaking a lot of it up that way. Silly chickies.

AND. To add to the insanity that is my life, I'm hemming a wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses in the next week or so. Also making five (count 'em - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!) confirmation dresses for my priest friend's church. Deadline? June 12th.

But wait! There's more!! The tension on my fast machine is jacked up, so I need to take it to the shop and see what's up with that. And, of course, the chicks are in their brooder box in my sewing room. Some way I'll also need to build some sort of additional coop to put them in when they can go outside in another couple weeks.

Yikes.
