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.
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 !
