In between cleaning and cooking… I browsed my seed catalogs… and made my decisions. Though my garden is non-existent at this point in time… I will get my act together. Even if it means calling in Vernon and his tractors to rip up the spot for me! Back in the day, M. had a wonderful…

Bag It 2!
In Bag It! I showed you how to cut out a feed sack in anticipation of making a fun shopping bag. Then, I ran into J., who showed me a quicker and easier way instead of what I WAS doing. I’ll show you both ways… and hopefully, you won’t get too confused. Go ahead and…
Only Fair
I rolled out this morning to help Vernon again. But this time there was a different twist, for it’s my Bountiful Basket morning… meaning our food co-op was delivering. I had to disappoint my dogs, telling them, “No. Stay in the yard.” What disappointed looks! I drove my Durango to help feed, then took off…
I Interrupt This Lesson… For Ranchlife
Ooops. Yeah, the sewing machine never made it out of my basement. Due to the breakdown of some equipment… I was called into action today. We grained the peewee calves… And fed some cows. And chopped some ice. Why, yes, I *DO* live on a ranch… thanks for the reminder! **** February 17, 2011 …
Bag It!
To begin your “feed bag”, cut off the bottom seam of your feed sack of choice. Make sure you’re even with the lettering… stay fairly close to the seam. Create “legs”… leaving the folded edges of your sack alone, just cut up and over, removing a rectangle from the front and back. Hopefully, the image…

Bag It Up!
Here’s an easy peasy craft for you… Got a “plastic” bag that your dog food comes in? (Or chicken feed, horse feed, cow cake, or pig protein?) Maybe you have a big sack of salt for your water softener or potting soil? If it is woven reinforced plastic, not paper, GO GET IT! Here’s mine….
As Time Goes By
Boy. It’s difficult to blog without my camera anymore. *I* was ready for my dog walk/heifer checking/craftiness today… but I had a DEAD camera. Absolutely lifeless. No AED was gonna revive it. Sure, I had other cameras AT HOME… but that didn’t help out with today’s events. I listlessly plugged it into the wall on…

Minute Movie: Bull Sale
The trip back from Nebraska was long… The interstate was agreeable for driving if you were a lone car… unfortunately, that’s not the case on I-25, and the blowing snow whiteout condition would envelope you whenever another vehicle was nearby. It stunk. Bleh. I was extremely glad Vernon was driving (as he did heading down……
Heartbeat
I know. I had a plan. Another Vlog answering your questions. Well… Vernon decided to go to a bull sale in Nebraska… So here I sit in a motel in Cheyenne, without the ability to make my Vlog and answer those questions! The Good News is you have another couple of days to submit questions……
