Chicken sweaters or some really fowl crafting

Do your part to help keep the old chickens warm. Make a hen jumper for a retired battery hen.

Some of the models showing off their knitted versions of the handcrafted (hencrafted?) creations.

 

From the Little Hen Rescue website: "We are running a non profit organisation that rescues battery barn hens and  sometimes other poultry.  Everything so far has been funded by ourselves.  All our catchers and helpers come on a voluntary basis."

To see a video of the hens wearing the creations, go to the Norwich Evening News website.

Spirit Jumping

Spirit Jump is a program that directly connects the gift giver with a person battling cancer. It was founded in November, 2008 by two young women who have both battled cancer.

If you have a desire to give, or just have extra handmade items to share, consider doing a spirit jump.
