Friends at the Fence...


Look what's up on the Design Wall...



I have had this panel for close to a year now...




I put it up on the design wall...

then waited for inspiration to set in.





English Paper Pieced Hexagons...

on the table





Now, I am inspired !




Here goes...


The sky has a very soft pink 

running through it...

I pinned up the light blue and pink hexagons

 along the sky.





At this point, the sky is blocked in 

with blue hexagons.





I have started on the lower portion...

blacks, browns, rusts 

to go with the horse colors.





I am getting goose bumps...

that means we are headed in the right direction.





I have decided the border treatment

will be 5 hexagons wide...





At this point...

I am about 4 hours into pinning up hexagons






I am calling it pinned !





Before I began,  

I put 4 white strips of fabric around the panel.

The hexagons can now be pinned onto those

fabric strips, removed from the wall,

and I can take them with me for hand piecing.





Just guessing,

this will take me several months to piece.

I will keep you posted on my progress.

Fertilizing the Bull Field...


We are over in the bull field

spreading fertilizer



We winter the bulls in one of our hay fields...





That hay field is getting fertilizer today...





The bulls kept me company while I was

spreading fertilizer...








Spring has arrived here in the

Pacific Northwest:


We have never had tulips in bloom

this early in the year...





The back yard is full of red tulips!

No Sewing.....Fertilizing


Howdy!




No sewing for me...

I am in the tractor seat today



I am behind the wheel of this red beauty:



The hay fields are getting much needed 

fertilizer...







The fertilizer bin is filled and ready to ROCK






I won't be listening to the hum 

of a sewing machine...

just the ROAR of the tractor engine !


Enjoy the fertilizing videos below:

Smile...


Here's a little something to bring a

smile to your face...



Each time we head over to the calving grounds

we are greeted by such sweetness...






This sweetie brings a smile to my face every day !






This new heifer calf is a real beauty...






Here she is resting with her mama...






Yes, we have a snow white bull calf...






It is like Christmas each time we head over

to the calving barns.....

a new little package has been born.




These sweet babies love to gang up together

and run circles around the pasture.















Puts a smile on my face each day...
