I can't sleep:(

 Doing this instead of cleaning........ I think this was my Grandma's quilt, but got it after she passed away, so don't know for sure.

 This one I got from my Aunt, but think Grandma made it. It was just the top when I got it so I finished it. I hand quilted it because it was hand pieced if I remember right.

 This is one I made over 10 years ago. Paper doll quilt

 Another one that came from my Aunt Norma. It's a silky spread don't know a thing about it.

 It does have cool fringe tho!

 Another pieced top from Grandma's stuff. I should finish it someday.

 Another 10 year old quilt I made. It's Rodeo Stars.

 A kit I got out in Rapid City a few years ago. I use as a table cloth, not really bed size. I did get some cleaning done too mostly in the store room I have to quit collecting so many things.........

 New born calf this afternoon

 He was napping in the tire feeder..................

 until we drove to close and scared him out.

 Grass and water what more could they ask for!! Well I guess hay and silage every morning til they get to their pastures!

 Just wondering if  Spot is going to have a calf this spring and which buffalo cows look like they will have calves.

They need  a scratching post to get all that dead hair off.
 I better try and get to sleep................JMF

Rain and projects

 This is what Greg and I put together the other night.

 A Murphy bed or some call it a wall bed. Now I just have to get a mattress for it. I could have gotten one from the same place as the bed, but that would have been to easy! (dummy me)

 It is a queen size. I am thinking a wall hanging in there and a quilt on the mattress when I get one:)

 This deer looks alittle shaggy, and thin. There are 5 or 6 that live in the trees behind the house, so we see them almost every morning and night. Although this one was here around noon.

 Praise the Lord we got 2 inches of rain yesterday, and it is raining as I type this.

 Now the guys are all excited about getting cows and calves to pasture! Ordered the vaccine yesterday so it will be a go when the weather permits. I know 2 boys who will be very happy this weekend:)

 Mud it's a good thing!!!!

Now I will be mowing the yard in a few days, and I'm not even going to complain:) soon I will plant my garden too. Squash, pumpkins, snake gourds, cucumbers and maybe beans. Lucas if you are reading this that's our job next Wed when you are here!!......................JMF

Jungle quilt.

 I quilted this panel the other day. Carrie wanted it for a gift.

 It didn't take long and it was fun to quilt. I haven't done much quilting for over a year.

 I just had alittle fabric left so the binding isn't as wide as I normally do,but it turned out cute. I zigzaged the binding, don't know if I have ever done that before. I think it turned out fine tho.

Now I just need to get another quilt on the frame and Get Her Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JMF

Shirt apron and a MESS..........

 I made this out of one of the shirts I made the Pony Tails quilt with. Lindsey and the kids were here the other day so it went home with her:) I still have scraps left of the shirts and have plans for them.

 You might want to look away on these next few pictures unless  you have a  a strong stomach!!!!!!

 This is my sewing area in the basement. It was such a mess then I pulled more stuff out when I started to clean up trying to get it more organized. Which I am doing it is just taking a long time. I even gave some fabric to Goodwill. I hope that's not a sin:)

 What a mess! When I get it all cleaned up I am going to keep it that way.....LOL

 A tote of  to dos. Several just need backings and quilted, some hand work which I already finished one, and working on another.

 I started this many many moons ago like in years. I really want to get it finished.

 This one too I think I should hand quilt them but don't know if I want to tackle the big one.

So I have showed you these pictures so you can keep me on track so if you see me ask me if my cleaning is done yet!!!!!!!!!! I wished I could show a cute little sewing/ craft space when I'm done, but that's not happening!!!!!!!! I could never keep it up plus I have way to much stuff for a few cute little containers. That doesn't mean I don't love and look at all the pics of such spaces on pinterest I just know it's not going to happen:)..................JMF

Russia goes country!

 I know I showed this Russian doll the other day but I wanted to show her first and then...................

 Show how she "went alittle bit country" LOL I think these little guys will be gifts. I plan on making a little doll blanket to go with the cowgirl. I always start the post and then think I should have gotten the address to the free pattern, it's at ithinkisew good that we have google!

 These are the quilts from our last quilt guild meeting.

 This is a charity project that we are doing this year. It is small blankets for still born babies. A sad project, but we hope it will bring comfort to the parents. We were told there is a need for them.

 These last 2 are made using the storm at sea block. Nancy gave a demo on the block.

the sun is shinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JMF
