Where Did May Go??

It seems like it takes forever for summer to come
but
then it just flies by!!

We finished seeding in the dust...
so those bins should bust..fingers crossed!

Mother Nature can be one tough cookie.


Maybe she will be nice to us this year!

We got a couple new residents.

Georgia and Amber


They are due to be mommas one of these days!

We have a few hens setting on eggs...


Sewing has been on the back burner for me. 

There has been some brutal windy days 
that
 should have warranted
some inside days 
but 
cows needed to go to pasture!

But you peeps!!!

Wow!!

I have been busy shipping backs like never before!

There are some fabulous new colors and lines.

Every time I open a new box I just want to go make something with them!

These new Suede backs are beautiful.


So far they only come in these three colors!

There are some new swirls...


And some new mottled ones!


I have been trying to post on Facebook
 to
 keep you in the loop of all the new colors!

I did get my entry for Cherrywood Challenge submitted!
This year is Princess Diana


Pink is not a color I ever work with.

Can I get chosen a FOUR time in row???

We will see in July!

It was also my birthday!
I was spoiled beyond....

Colleen's carrot cake was divine!!


Lori gave me a new Mondo bag project


Mom bought me flowers


Chantel made me a featherweight Mandela with her new Cricut


There were more but I didn't get pictures!

Thanks so much everyone!

I didn't need a thing!!

Let's see if June can bring some rain....

May sure didn't!

Happy Saturday!

Fencing and fingers

Spring has definitely arrived in Southern Saskatchewan!

This is the reason they call it the" Land of the Living Skies"


I have tried to make it to my sewing room every day this week
but
the crew and I were summoned to do some fencing all week

Helper #1

 Dawson played out after day 3....


These three were useless...


All they did was hold down the tools in the quad...

Justin managed to keep all his fingers in tack this round!!


Unlike in November,
when we tried to do this fence!!


 I look forward to not dealing with barb wire for a while now!


At least the weather was nice 
and
 the skies were gorgeous!


We have all the preworking done...

Only stuck once....


Had to get the big guns over to help!

Some farmers have had to burn their 2019 crops
 that have laid in the field all winter
to get ready to seed


Here's hoping for a better harvest this year!

Justin has been sneaking in small rides on his new horse, Flash.


It's officially Spring,
 when you find new baby kitties...


As far as quilting....

I saw this picture of a chicken 
and
I just had to do it.


I enlarged him to the size I wanted...



I have some Eclectic Elements fabric
 by Tim Holts
 I will use for his feathers


This is only as far as I have gotten...


Masks have still been requested 
so
Lucy has been supervising that activity!


Thank you to Chantel and Anita Brown for the awesome trade
of
Hillberg and Berk earrings


for some masks!!


Not necessary but much appreciated!
