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". |
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). |

are the feathers for painting Christmas cookie ornaments????
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!
I want to know about the feathers!!! :)
Oh I can't wait to see what you're going to do with those feather and to see your apron when completed!
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.
I know what the feathers are for :) But....I should know, I was there when we used them last yr!
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!
Oh cool, never heard of using feathers for that!
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!
Thanks for commenting everyone!
