On bizarrely warm days in March...

I get to start all my indoor seeds outside. Which seems odd and wrong, but enjoyable.
L. and H. healing mix up the soil blocking mixture.

All the little soil blocks planted with seeds.

So
They did get moved inside under the grow light. It is March after all.

Kenzie gets to do his favorite thing of napping in the sun. 


The pony gets washed!


Vienna is normally a very tidy pony, but during her worst days where she was laying down nearly continuously, it was difficult to keep her from lying in her own filth. It wasn't pleasant and I'm sure it bothered her. With the warm weather and her improvement it was a great day to clean her up a bit. 

The cat got to do her very favorite thing and go outside.


And Y. sat in the dry lot crocheting for a while to keep the poor lonely pony company. (We're working on that lonely bit.) Plus Vienna ended up with a hair scrunchy.


What I don't have a picture of is L.'s continuing efforts to train her own chicken army. L. has been profligate with the sunflower seeds to encourage the chickens to follow wherever she goes, which the chickens are happy to do because they love sunflower seeds. Well, all except Zoro the rooster. He is above such things.

All those chickens, whether they are an army or not, do lay a lot of eggs. We are swamped. This is just from the past two days. 


I leave for Arizona to visit my mom tomorrow night. J. will be home with the masses. I have no idea what blogging will look like while I am gone.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) [This picture has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but is here solely to give Blogger a different photo to post in the thumbnail.] It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric an...

An uncomfortable post

I hope it comes as no surprise to my readers that when I vote early next week I will be casting my ballot for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Being in a blue state this feels as though it is a very little thing in the effort to bring our country back past the brink of no return . I'll be honest and say that I am feeling such stress and fear about this election that I can't listen to any news or look at social media for very long. The radio is pretty firmly set on our classical music station even though they are in the middle of a pledge drive. The pledge drive is preferable.  But for those of you who are supporting the other side, if there are any of you left who continue to visit my blog, here is what I need to say. When I drive around and see signs in people's yards supporting that man, I treat it as an early warning system. The people who live in this house are not safe for my family to be around. This is far more than a difference of opinion. That worked for all the preside...

Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting another giveaway day , the day where many bloggers giveaway things they have made or supplies to make things or both.  It is great fun to visit a lot of blogs and try to win cool stuff.  So fun that I thought I would participate this year. I had great hopes of making a set of coordinating mother/daughter aprons.  But reality reared its ugly head and I came to terms with the fact that my time is not limitless.Instead of aprons,  I must continue to spend quality time with yards and yards of red plaid flannel.  What am I making?  Well, as I tell my children, it is the season not to ask questions... I will be able to let you know sometime after the 25th. Instead of making something, I went to my favorite thrift store and found some supplies in the form of sheets and pillowcases (some of my favorite raw material).  I'm giving away three pillowcases and one twin flat sheet. I decided to go with bright, springy colors...
