Just popping on for a few to share a few links I found since the last share. Enjoy!

• [Say] No to Chicken Rental

  Chicken keeping isn’t as easy as so many of its proponents would like you to believe. No animal is easy – if it is, you’re likely doing something wrong. For example, a rabbit in a wire hutch in the backyard is no trouble to take care of – simply give it food and water daily – but you’re not providing what the rabbit needs to live a decent life. Same thing with chickens. Can you keep two in a small coop for a few months? Yes. Is it what those chickens need to thrive? No. Is it being a responsible animal steward? Definitely not.

• DIY Purse Organizer From a Hot Pad

  You only need a few things for this project:

  a hot pad (with the loop in the middle of a side, not at a corner)

  6 Ziploc sandwich bags (about 6″ x 6″)

  a button

  fabric and ribbon (optional, for decorating the outside)

  I am thinking you can use a hotpad without a loop and add your own loop.
