She was made for a "competition" in which a certain fabric had to be used. (It's the narrow border around the main picture part.)
The poem is some doggerel by Wm. McGonnegall which says:

The cow is more forlorner,
Standing in the rain
With a leg at every corner.
I added little shiny brown beads to the ground for feed, and all in all, she has given me many a chuckle. Perhaps I'll hang her up today, in place of the Christmas angel hanging. Could it be time yet?
Maybe you still have an entry....you could baffle us with the fact you have NO roosters!! OH my!
ReplyDeletecute chicken though
I love the hanging AND the rhyme. I say ENTER her - - - wait til you see what I'm entering!!! My entry is NOT conventional.
ReplyDeleteThat is a CUTE CHICK!

ReplyDeleteNext thing you know, you're going to start getting rooster gifts in the mail!
