Only one left.......

 I saw these quilt as you go bags and a blog the other day . Pretty soon I had a bunch of them made up.
 I got the puff ball key chains on Amazon.

 I need to interrupt to show you the delicious Macaroons that my friend made us for our anniversary!! They were so good:)
 Another batch I got these fat quarters at Joann's in Brookings.


 Moda clothes pins:)
 This is the only one left I gave them all away. The first one went to the gal I get the best massages from! The 2nd one I gave to a neighbor girl.
 The rest of them went to my daughter, granddaughters and daughter in laws.
So guess what I'll be sewing this afternoon??..JMF

A finished quilt.

 My Christmas present quilt is finished! Jared's family gave me the fabric in the center of the quilt and Carrie's family gave me the gift certificate that bought the rest of the fabric.
Kay quilted it with a barb wire motif . 
Some day Carrie and Sarah will have to draw straws to see who gets it!

I made these aprons for a friends 2 boys,she said they wear them when making cookies and mixing milk for bottle lambs! True farm boys:)
Lucas' big rooster he's a pretty boy!
The heifers all have their babies by their sides so that is a good thing.
Black sheep black sheep had a white lamb the other night!
Lucas' goose has been laying eggs so he's going to try and hatch them. We checked several times the other day but she didn't lay it while I was there.
I went to talk to John while he was doing lamb chores the other day and we spotted this eagle sitting in a tree at the end of the calf pen.

We have extra mud if anyone wants some!

Sunday Morning.....................

 I see the church from the office window everyday! It is the church I was confirmed in a long time ago. I would have never guessed I would see it everyday out my window since Dec 31st 1977!
 We have had some nice days and some not so nice days as far as weather goes. The ewes and lambs make good use of the old barn on snowy days.
 The lambs are
 so cute.
 We herded the cows home the other day. They didn't make it easy but in the end they all got home.
 They tend to get off course when they see corn stocks with no fence  to keep them out.
 This is the little brother of the pillow in the  last blog post.
 I was going to see his mom on Fri so I got busy and made him a pillow.
His initials are  E E J and I just couldn't get a brand to  look good with 2 Es and a J. I told her if  they have another baby check with me before they name it. LOL.......................JMF
