Sunday Babbles

I was sitting here thinking about what I accomplished this weekend but then thinking about all I need to do before the 'little dudes" and their mothers get here. I am now counting the days. This will be the first time '" the man of the place" will have seen the boys.


I helped feed the cows again yesterday and enjoy it just as much as I did last weekend.



We have some new babies born this past week, including Cherry had her calf, a little boy.
I did not see one eagle out there this time, I do not know how far their territory is but I know they are around.


I was out in one of the pastures and notice this Sycamore tree.


Looks like 5 trees in one.
I have a thing for this tree, when I was a child growing up in Sacramento, there in downtown are all these trees along the sides of the streets. I have such fond memories of these trees and how big they were and the smell of them in the fall time. These trees can live a very long time, 2 - 3 hundred years. This ones trunk is so cool. I'm guessing it's been around at least 50 years.

What is this!!!

 Oh the other end of this, chow time

And 

MMMM!!!  GOOD


Oh darn there is congestion in the road ahead. You think out in the country you would get away from that.

 They are following me now, I am the gravy train to them.

 Oh no, someone trying to sneak a nibble again.


I was able to work on the Dresden Plate quilt I started so long ago, at least it seem like that. It's been over a year
I was able to sew the blocks together and next is the border. I would like to get that completed tomorrow.
Will see.

    I love seeing photos of your farm and animals. The babies are adorable. And I love your Dresden Plate with the black sections. Are they called compasses? Whatever they're called, they add a nice touch to the Dresden plates.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
