this is the day we would begin to disassemble the tree of Christmas when i was a child as it was also my paternal grandfather Gabriel's birthday Januaury 6 and the twelft day of christmas as in the song.
i love that song.
on the 3 rd day of Christmas my quilting friend Pat came over and we made fabric hens three of them each that we painted after the hand sewing was done. they are under 3 inches in size and althought made 3 different size patterns, like this one the best . they hang from a loop of gold cord on the tree or as a light pulls so far. and as we have a small egg farm here can paint hens any color i see or think off and my egg girls will be well represented. i occasionally make a smaller, flatter version and add pin backs to the painted hens with needle and thread so they can be attached.
while the hen ornaments were drying we made some prayer flags .
we painted 3 each as that is a fine way to fly them in sets of threes.
