Oui, French Hen c'est fini, and my TDITM March goa Oui, French Hen c'est fini, and my TDITM March goal is WHIPPED! The colors were once again a struggle.

Oui, it is time for our March challenge: French He Oui, it is time for our March challenge: French Hen! A favorite amongst mmmakers. Everybody loves chickens. Don't let the feet intimidate you, they are made by twisting one pipe cleaner around the other to form a cross, then bend the three of the four parts to form toes. No sweat.

Throughout the month, tag a photo of your finishes with @mmmcrafts and #twelvedaysin12months to share your progress! I’ll post mine too! (Please, no photos/videos of my pattern pages.)
