I meant to say in the previous post....Just a moment :)

Just a momen

I'm usually the person who thinks about what she is going to say and rehearses it in her head before it even comes out. Sometimes, I even talk myself out of saying it at all. I have been trying to live in the present and do a little more rather than over thinking things. I'm making an effort to make those around me feel noticed and appreciated. It is such a wonderful feeling knowing that I have made someones day a bit brighter and it took just a moment. Not a crafting post but a few thought I wanted to share.

Why Mama Hen?

Mother Hen: A female chicken who bears eggs or chicks; An outspoken and overprotective woman dealing with others' affairs


Yes, I have had a couple little chicks (and eventually, I would like one more even though I often feel like I'm going to lose my mind with these two).
Yes, I can be outspoken if given the right situation.
Yes, I can be a little overprotective but I'm only thinking of your best interest. 
I'm the one in the family that calls everyone to make sure things are in order and you can count on me to get it done....even if it means staying up past midnight.
I've actually been like this since I was a kid.....very intuitive and always trying to take care of others. So, it makes sense that I would name my blog Mama Hen Crafts. I planned on blogging only about crafts but you'll probably find that it's a little of this and that with some of my creations mixed in. Sounds like a great recipe....right? Alright...Autumn is getting herself in trouble and Aowyn is crying and that means it is time to go :)

A few of Mama Hen's Crafts

I wanted to share with you a few of the items I have created. I am working on several more onesie designs but I've got a little stitching to do. Not sure what direction I will take after these are completed but I have lots of ideas.

The mama hen is blogging

Welcome to my first blog. I'm excited to begin sharing bits and pieces of my life with the world. The girls are finally asleep and I am enjoying the peace and quiet. I've been thinking of what crafts I will begin working on and when I will find the time. With a two year old and a five month old, I have my hands full. I've been told, "sleep when the baby sleeps" and that is exactly what i'm going to do. Good night :)
