Dear Ellen,
I always love getting mail. And when it arrives bearing proof that I am a craftsman, it is even more welcome. Say hello to one of the newest members of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. The best part is the free admission to the Guild shows!
Also say hello to Baby Chicka. She is one of the fledglings from the chickadee nest that is in the birdhouse by the side garden. Over the course of the afternoon she went from “drunken Sailor” to proficient aeronaut in her flying skills. Very bold, she landed on the porch to check out my knitting. (Okay, landing would be stretching it…it was really a controlled crash.)
And say goodbye to this fine spinach and these spring onions. By the time you read this they will already be in my belly. So satisfying to eat from one’s own garden!
Love, Jan
Jan and Ellen are identical twins who have always had an innate fashion sense. Crafting is an integral part of their lives and they stay stitched together sharing their love of knitting, family and community.

Cool - did you have to pass any craftsperson tests?
Start feeding that little chicka goodies right now and you may be able to hand tame her. They fly to hands for sunflower seeds if you work them up to it.
I don’t think they like green onions…

Oh, wow, congratulations!
And how cute is that little chickadee!

Well, that’s a fun card to carry in your wallet. (As if you needed a card…)
=)
Chickadees are some of my favorite birds. They are such bold little things. I’m with Ellen; start feeding her now and win her over!
