35 Calves...


This is my view each morning...

 


The Side View Mirror





I drive the feed wagon

while the Cowboy flakes the hay off the back...





The cattle follow the piles of hay

falling off the back of the truck...



This is Little Goldie...


She has a brand new calf...





It is very dark brown now,

but in a few weeks it will be golden

just like its' mama...





We are a month into calving and there

are 35 calves on the ground so far...

Tote Bag...


This tote bag is cut out and ready to stitch... 


I pawed through the fabric cupboard and found 

one of my hand dyes to line the bag...





This Pellon Flex-Foam 2-Sided Fusible

creates a bag that is sturdy and stands up...






The bag is done and is ready for handles...

I like the way these faux leather handles

look and feel in my hand when carrying the bag.





Rivets make short work of attaching the handles...





Always FUN to get the hand dyes out and

give them new life...





The tote bag panel came with a pocket...FUN !





This will make a great new bag for....SPRING !

Sew Happy Zen Chic Panel...

 I have had this panel sitting around

for long enough...


It is time to cut it up and do something with it...





Sew Happy by Zen Chic

It is a heavier linen fabric...




I decided to make zip bags 

with the small squares.

I matched the squares up with 

zippers and lining fabrics.






I am using foam instead of batting...





Pellon Flex-Foam 2-sided fusible





The foam creates a very sturdy bag...





Fried Egg lining fabric...





I placed the zipper on the side of this bag...


















8 zipper bags ready for gift giving...




These were much larger, 

so I turned them into pillows.


We now have 20 new calves on the ground.Calving season is galloping right along.

It was 80 degrees yesterday !

The Cowboy mowed the lawn.
