Thread Shed....Fresh Start 2022

I read somewhere recently that it was...

Clean Off Your Desk Day

I decided to put this into good use

 in the Thread Shed:

 


I don't have a desk in here,

but I have lots of work surfaces 

that were piled high...

I should have taken a before picture.....oops!





I cleaned off my big ironing board

the Cowboy built this for me 20 years ago.

I hand dyed the board cover.





I also cleaned off my main work table...

it is a vintage drop leaf table with lots of leaves

and is about 80 inches long.





I cleaned off my sewing machine table.....






I also cleaned off my little cutting table






All 4 large surfaces are cleaned off and 

ready to go !



2022 will be my year of:

Fabulous Finishes


I have my first quilt ready to finish

on the work table...

Orange Peel / Pumpkin Seed Quilt





This large table is perfect for trimming the edges 

of your quilt to get it ready for binding...





The machine quilting is done,

all that is left to do is bind it....





I have a bag of fabrics to paw through

in hopes of finding something 

that will work for a binding.





This will have to wait for another day...

We are working cattle tomorrow.

I am hoping to get this bound 

by the end of the week and have my very first

 FABULOUS FINISH 2022.

After the STORM.....


On our way to feed the cattle this morning...


There were 3 road blocks... 




3 big maple trees came down

after the big snow storm...




We went home to get the power saw

so the Cowboy could clear a path...

We had hungry cows waiting for hay.

Happy New Year from The Kessi Ranch

 

This is the New Year Baby

@ The Kessi Ranch



An orphaned baby elk

that has been living with our cattle

for several weeks...





We think he is about 6 months old...





He eats cow hay

right along side of the cows...




We are hoping an elk herd moves

through that he can join up with...





For now, we are enjoying

seeing him each morning when we

feed the cattle.


Enjoy the Baby Elk Video:
