WARNING: this is a lazy post.
The dissertation (now more or less finished- yey!) has made sure that I've had no time in the past two weeks to make anything (except the odd pigeon foot, wing or body). I'm planning a nice, long pigeon and cake-filled post for next time so here are a few related links and things to keep you entertained in the meantime:
Nigel the massive crocheted dinosaur arrived safely at the Locket household and emerged from his equally massive yellow box to meet his new owner Fred on his 6th birthday. Lucy even used her impressive crochet skills to make a mini version of Nigel in blue to go with all the other fab dino-related presents she had made.
Emma (who makes some really beautiful jewellery) received Mr.C.Fish from the post below and he is now enjoying life in the UK with an assortment of other creatures.
Mr Pigeon 029 is a very lucky chap indeed. Clare made him FOUR snazzy new pigeon tank tops. You can see him modeling them all here.
Talking of pigeon tank tops, Bubble the pigeon's owner, Miss T (a very promising young knitter!), has knitted him some very fetching jumpers.
EDIT 15.06.08: THIS article from the Telegraph tells us that not only are pigeons a bit more intelligent than human 3-year-olds, they can distinguish between Picasso and Monet too! Maybe I should take Mr.P along to a gallery.
And finally something exciting arrived in the post this week...
A box. What is so exciting about this box? Well, I've been trawling the internet for aaaages looking for the perfect box for pigeon posting and think I have found it at last. The lovely box people kindly agreed to send me a free sample. All I had to do was persuade my feathered assistants to try it out for size...
...it was a perfect fit for both hen...
...and pigeon...
This means that postage costs for future pigeon purchasers will be lower. Hooray!
P.S: I.O.U a more exciting post next time. No box talk, I promise. Just cake and birds.
