Scribble Stitch Cards...


It's been way too long since I did any

Scribble Stitching... 


Scribble Stitching......Note Cards





5 inch charm packs work great for this !





Also a great way to use up your fabric scraps...





Black Thread enhances the scribbling...





Handmade with Love

stamped on the back of each card...





Circles.....always a favorite





Circles with stems turn into flowers...










Yes, I had to do a few heart note cards too...





I use ribbon to package up the cards 

for gift giving...






Packaged in bundles of 4 cards...





All ready to give away...

Golden Girl's Mama 

had another golden brown baby.

Here's the Cowboy with our newest bull calf:


We call him.....Shorty

short for Shorthorn

(there is nothing short or tiny about this big calf)


Now, round up some blank note cards,

fabric scraps, glue stick, black thread

I met up with my Monday group...

The Harlan Valley Quilters


I made more Screen Play Totes



It was so much FUN to make the black tote

that I just had to make the pink tote...






How HAPPY is this tote !






I know somebody who loves cupcakes !






The brown mesh goes great with

this horse fabric...





I dug around in the fabric cupboard and found

the light tan fabric with brands on it...

this one is staying at my house !




and then there were.....3

A new baby for Bow Tie...

 

She has a white bow tie shape on her forehead

so we call her Bow Tie.

She is one of the best cows in the herd...


She had a calf a week ago and 

unfortunately it died.

She has a lot of milk and does a great job 

raising a calf every year...




A few days ago one of our cows had twins.

Yesterday we gave one of the twins to Bow Tie...


The twin calf is wearing the hide of 

Bow Tie's calf...

It is important that the twin calf smells 

like her own calf.

This is referred to as grafting.

It is a tried and true method of getting a mama 

cow to accept a new calf.





The new calf will wear the hide for a few days

to be sure the mama is convince it is her own calf.

Then the hide will be removed.






The twin calf is black





The calf has nursed several times and...

Bow Tie loves her new baby !

This was a very satisfying end to our day.


No, the twin mother does not miss this calf.

Just as long as she has one calf at her side 

she is happy.
