Denim Jean Fabric Bins......the last of them

 

Here are the last few bins

I stitched together last week...

I had a great time working with the

very worn out denim jeans...

It was great fun cutting off all of the buttons, snaps, labels and pockets from the jeans to use

as embellishments on the bins...

Wrangler brand button 

adorns the front of this bin...

Levi 501 button up fly

adorns the front of this bin...

The tiny inside pocket off Levi 501

jeans embellishes the front of this bin...

Dickies brand button embellishes

the front of this bin...

These were great FUN and 

very addicting to make.

I put away all of the denim to force myself

to move on to other projects.

Think.Make.Share

We are preparing for calving season

here on the Kessi Ranch...

This gorgeous blue roan is Mary Black Feather.

Her new calf is due in a few weeks.

We spend every morning getting the

cattle fed, bedding the barns

and checking on all of the expectant mothers.

I spend my afternoons in the Thread Shed !

More to Come...

Sewing Stiletto...

 One of my favorite must-have tools at

the sewing machine is a

Stiletto...

Here are a few I made out of turkey skewers:

I pawed through my bead boxes and found

beads with holes big enough to slip over

the turkey skewers...

E6000 Glue is the very BEST

for this application !

A dab of glue under the top and bottom beads

holds everything in place nicely...

Yes....Owl Stilettos

The metal bead caps under the owls

look like bird nests.

I purchased the owl beads at Joann Fabrics.

They come on a strand with 10 or 12 owls.

I plan to keep a new stiletto with each of

my sewing machines...

and...share the rest with 

my fellow sewing enthusiasts !

A Stiletto helps guide the fabric 

under the presser foot

as you sew a seam...

A Stiletto is handy to pull up 

the bobbin thread...

A Stiletto helps turn under the edges

of applique' work...

At the ironing board, it may keep you

from burning your fingers when you are

manipulating the fabric close to the iron's edge.

Each morning at sunrise we are greeted

by the bulls:

After a frosty cold night,

they are ready for breakfast...

Each bull weighs in at....2,000 pounds

They look forward to a visit from the Cowboy...

We have spent the last couple of weeks

rounding up the cow and calf pairs

and weaning the calves...

lots of bawling going on right about now !

Hard to believe,

the first calf is due in 81 days !
