Candy Bag.....Zip Cases 2


After feeding the cattle this morning,

I snuck off to the Thread Shed

to sew a few more...



These seem to go out the door

as quick as I get them made...





Everyone that sees them has the same reaction,

"Look at those, how cute are they!"





Then they take their favorite zip bag 

home with them...





I am saving so many different product packages,

they all work with the iron-on vinyl...

I am not just limited to candy bags.





I am not a licorice eater,

but the Cowboy is...






He saved both of these packages for me.





So colorful and so FUN !





These bags will be given away 

during the holidays.

I have saved so many packages,

I have barely made a dent in them!



There are no days off

for Cowboys and cattle...


So, from the feeding grounds here

@ the Kessi Ranch...





We Wish You Happy Holidays...





and Happy New Year !

Ice Dyeing.....Sneakers


The Ice Dyeing Buckets

are warming up by the wood stove...






Here's a peek inside the buckets:


Deep Purple and Raspberry dye powder

sprinkled on top of the ice...



A few hours later:


The ice is nearly melted...

the sneakers are taking the dye nicely !



Here comes the....Show 'n Tell:


These are kids sneakers 

purchased at Hobby Lobby





They must have been 100% cotton...

they took the dye beautifully.





They will be super FUN to wear!




These are also an ice dyed pair of sneakers:
