What you made more purses???????????

 I thought I was just going to use up what purse fabric that I had but............... I saw these two pieces in Brookings. What can I say I have no self control!!
 The back pocket.
 Lining

 Then I reversed the whole thing:)

 I was opening and watching the gate the other night for Greg and the calves came to say hello!

Thanks for the hay farmer Greg.....JMF

It's that time of year again............

 Bean harvest is finally under way. The combine needed a few repairs that took more time than Greg thought it would. All's well that ends well. I am thankful for the neighborhood repair shop, and told him so when I dropped Greg off to get his combine:)
 In between harvest the guys have been weaning calves so far so good.
 I haven't heard any reports of sick calves so that's another good thing!
 I rode once around the bean field the other day when I took Greg lunch. I think it is a boring job, but  it has to get done.



 I used up most of the rest of this fabric to make a smaller size pocket pillow.
 Sue and I made our yearly trip to Linda's garden. It's always so fun to see all the fruits of her and her crew's labor:)
 Next year we thought we might have to go twice one time earlier in the season for sweet corn,beans ect.

 A fraction of the potatoes they raise.
We got this the other night SNOW I am not ready for that yet good thing it didn't stay long....JMF

Old west roundup................

 When I took these pictures of the roundup of the cattle it made me think of the westerns I grew up watching:)



 Until the guy on the 4wheeler came over the hill:)
 Those horns are taller than the corral.

 These don't belong to us we just rent the pasture they live in:)

 I came across this fabric in my stash and thought it would make a perfect pillow to donate.
Fall is in the air so I pulled this out and hung it up hopefully I'll get a few more fall decorations  out.
 I used up what was left of the purse fabric.


 and the back sides of some jeans for pockets.
Have a safe harvest and weaning calves................JMF
