Sunday in Pictures


Never in a million years will you guess why I am sterilizing wing feathers.










Susan over at e-i-e-i-omg! is hosting an apron sew-off.  We're all making an apron to be
ready the week before Thanksgiving.  I don't sew.  However,  there was so much talk about
 "duct tape" I decided "what the heck".  This stash of denim material I bought at Goodwill for less
than $1.00 a yard.   ......about 2 years ago.  (I was going to make some curtains.)
I think it's time to do something else with it. 
And if I make a mistake there will be plenty left to start over again :-)
Come and join us!  Hop over to Susan's here and let her know "you're in".










"Like Daddy, like son".
A really poor quality old picture I "doctored" up.
Son Matthew and Grandson Ryan.
The picture is about 3 years old.  # 4 was Brett Farve.
They now would both have a #12 on their jerseys :-)  .....Aaron Rodgers.











 From another autumn -- maybe 10 years ago.  My broodmare
SWM Abra Aziz (full arab) and her colt SWM Romeo (1/2 arab, 1/2 appaloosa).

    I am intrigued by your apron plans!
    I like the "look" of the picture of the boys on the sofa! Would love to see Romeo all grown up!

    Your denim fabric should make a good, sturdy, serviceable apron. Go for it!

    Sterilizing feathers, huh? You're right, I don't have an idea in my head. Do tell.

    The feathers are going to be used to "paint" frosting onto gingerbread cookies that will get used as tree decorations. It is a craft that my great grandmother was expert at. A near future post will show what it looks like.

    As for the apron....this is going to be interesting. I have no idea what I'm doing. :-)

    ...and Candy C., I wish I could see Romeo all grown up too. I sold him at 8 months old. I can't remember the persons name who bought him. He was one gorgeous colt!

    I'm anxious to see how the frosting painting looks. I have a ready supply of feathers (well not so ready - the chickens may not like giving them up) and It looks interesting!

    I'm so glad our paths have crossed in bloggerland. We lived for 20 years in suburban Milwaukee. I fear that we "ditched" our #4 Jerseys and gave them to Goodwill after the childish behavior of the former quarterback.

    I will enjoy reading your archives.

    NCmountainwoman....glad our paths crossed too! Yes-siree all the #4 jerseys are gone here too.
    (what a fiasco -- too bad he didn't retire a Packer -- lots of hard feelings)

    Check out the label "dogs" on my sidebar to see my Golden "Billy". Love the pictures of your Goldens!
