Commemorative sculpture of Mike the Headless Chicken. “Mike the Headless Chicken was a Wyandotte rooster who lived for 18 months after being beheaded by his owner, farmer Lloyd Olsen, in 1945. He survived because the axe missed his jugular vein and left most of his brain stem intact, allowing him to breathe and move. Mike became a national sensation, touring sideshows and earning money for his owner, before eventually dying from choking on mucus in 1947.” Thank you Wikipedia and thank you, young maker Izzy, for bringing this matter to our attention.

I’d like to hear how people keep their fabric organized. I TRY to keep it sorted by type: cotton/canvas/denim, lacey/sheer, knit/stretchy, fleecy/soft, leather/vinyl, but I wonder if there’s a better way. Swipe through for some of my current favorite donated/thrifted fabric patterns and textures and the current state of my fabric bins.
