red

Ruby Red!

I am so happy to be knitting with a color

 other than pink, yellow or purple.

 I like red...

if I had an old pickup it would look like this...

I have red as an accent color in my kitchen and living room.

My favorite vegetable is red...

I know, I know... tomatoes are considered a fruit.

Who decided that?

At our house we eat it as a vegetable.

And from my favorite movie...

the ruby red slippers.

Secret: Daughter Knit and Pearl let it slip the other day

that they are considering the name Ruby for their new addition.

I think (hope) she's kidding because I have already named her...

ROSIE!

sheriff

There's a new sheriff in town...

 

 

This new Dakota Maid guy took me most of the day to make today.

Those first ones always take the longest.

Don't let his size fool you, he's only 6" x 7"

and one mean dude!

All corduroy and denim.

And look at those leather boots he's sport'n.

Don't get caught laughing at him behind his back

or calling him square...

cuz he'll write you a ticket right now!

 

 

He'll be watching for any suspicious activity

 at the rodeo this weekend.

Yee Haw

It's a wrap...

well, maybe?

 

I have been sewing nonstop for this weekends art sale.

I'm glad the deadline is here and I can return to my own agenda.

 

 

The art sale coincides with a rodeo

so we went mainly with a  western theme.

 

 

A cowboy is a man with guts and a horse.

Luckily I had a lot of  western themed fabrics on hand.

 

 

Of course I'm calling these baby shoes moccasins.

 

 

 

So...

as it's only 4 p.m.,

 I may have time for yet one more project.

Gotta go!

Party on

It was a fantastic day for turning six...

 

 

Mountains of presents...balloons...

numerous parties...

pink and purple cupcakes...

piñata...bounce castle...

 

 I was reminded why birthdays are such a

 disappointment when you're an adult.

tip toe through the tulips

It is so nice to be finally enjoying flowers...

 

 

inside and outside.

 

 

All these pretty tulips were tempting at the WalMart store.

Of course I bought a pot!

 

 

I finished another pair of baby socks.

I don't think I'll be starting another pair anytime soon.

 A handmade bag can be spendy

but SO original.

 

 

 

 

 

I turn all my scraps into a dolly blankets...

 

 

Or if you prefer...

a tiny saddle blanket.
