About this Product
How adorable are these hand crocheted farmhouse style chicken/hen plushies?!
Each hen is made completely by hand, by me, so can be made in any colour - just pop me a message if you'd like a different colour to those shown
The 3 shown are based on my sister's 3 hens, from left to right: Teapot, JC (Jurassic Chicken) and Chickaletta.
* Chickaletta is in a chunky cream yarn * JC is in a chunky black yarn with her plume in black and white (she is a 'Poland/Polish' breed) * Teapot is in a chunky cream/brown mottled yarn
They measure approximately 4.75"x3.25" (JC's plume makes her slightly taller)
JC and Teapot are shown to each have 6mm safety eyes and felt beak, Chickaletta is shown with embroidered eyes and beak - I can make your chickens with any, but please note, although the eyes are safety eyes, please take care with smaller children, or with those who like to put things in their mouths.
As each hen is made by hand, they will each vary slightly - crochet cannot be made on a machine.
Each order comes with a special Chicken Adoption Certificate (if you'd like more than one, just pop me a message - it's no trouble at all)
If you have any questions or special requests, please don't hesitate to get in touch - I'm always happy to help in any way I can.
BellesHearts
Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Maxine from BellesHearts, thank you so much for visiting, I hope you find something you love!
Before I began with BellesHearts, I lived in England with my 3 older children, my dogs, cats, goats and chickens. I worked at a local high school as an English Language and Literature teacher - my specialism was working with students with special educational needs and/or social and emotional barriers to learning. These were some of the most amazing and wonderful people I have ever had the privilege of meeting, yet an intense and challenging time. To make a difference, passion, patience, acceptance, tolerance, creative teaching and learning, from both my students and I were paramount.
Then everything changed. I met my husband who lived in PA, we got married and I moved over to the US to live. We have a spirited little boy with whom I spend my days, along with our Goldendoodle, Gracie and our Chiweenie, Floki.
I decided to trade in my creativity in teaching, for creating with my hands. I have always enjoyed working with wood and with fabrics. Inspired and taught by my father - an amazing carpenter, engineer and artist; my mother with her strength and determination and by my maternal grandparents, with their unquestioning belief in me always.
BellesHearts was born and there is nothing I love more, nothing so rewarding as being able to create 'Handmade Memories'; truly unique and special pieces for others to treasure.
How it’s Made
I use lovely quality yarn to make these little chickens, along with super soft filling.
Safety eyes have a fastener on the back and felt beaks are sewn on.
I'm happy to make any colours for you, just let me know what you'd like.
Crochet can't be made on a machine, so each and every chicken is completely hand made by me.
Chickaletta & Teapot take about an hour each to make, JC takes about one and a half hours - they are each made with lots of love and care.
