Help please, chicken pincushion

I don't know how to go back and read old messages and I lost the website that I was directed to for the "funky chicken pincushion". Some kind person gave me the link, but when I printed it out all I got was a page of blue, no directions and now I can't find it again. I am hopeing that someone could help me again. What I do know is that at the top it said "free pattern funky chicken pincushion" and at the bottom of the page is said

I think I may be the kind person--the page behind this link was kind of blue-green.

Here are the instructions, cut and pasted from that site:

Supplies: Two (2) 5" squares in bright colours (these can be any size you want) Scraps of felt for the beak, comb and tail. Fibrefill for chicken stuffing. 2 black beads for beady eyes.

For the chicken's body, make two half-squares by the following method (or use two 4" squares and go directly to sewing a chicken). Press a diagonal crease in one of the 5" squares. Place the two squares with the right sides together and stitch a 1/4" seam on either side of the crease line. Cut apart on the crease line. Press the seam to one side. You are now ready to construct a chicken. Using the felt scraps and the patterns provided (or just cut a small yellow triangle for the beak and a two-humped red comb), cut out the beak and comb. For the tail, cut a 3" square and a 2" square of felt; cut both into triangles on the diagonal. Place the smaller triangle on top of the larger. You will have two tails from the squares. Pin the tailpieces together at the centre point. Place the squares with the right sides together with fabric colours matching. Pin the beak and the comb in place between the fabrics in the left-hand upper corner. Starting at the opposite corner from the beak and comb, stitch on three sides as follows: stitch 1", leave a 11/2" opening, stitch to corner, turn, sew to next corner, turn, and sew to edge. This leaves one side open. Clip the corners and finger press the seams open. Bring the two seams on the open edge together. Pin the centre of the tail to the seams with the right side of the tail facing the comb seam. Stitch. Clip corners and finger press the seam. Turn chicken right side out through the

11/2" opening and gently push all the corners out. Your funky chicken is ready to be stuffed (with fibrefill). Hand stitch the opening closed. Add eyes.

Hey, I just made Elinor's Carrot Cake that I found on your website link for the chicken pincushion. The cake is baking as I write. The aroma is heavenly!
