Happy Cow Appreciation Day! July 18, 2009

You may have noticed that we do things a little differently here at the Bombshell Within blog. 

This national appreciation day will be no different!

Y'all have met my Cow

The reason I named her cow was because she’s a calico and her spots (at least to me) seem like cow spots.

see?

I’m sure this is not what they meant when they said that today is National Cow Appreciation Day, but that’s how I took it! 

No worries, kitty cow... your momma appreciates you!

One of these things is not like the other June 25, 2009

 

Before clothes are sorted

Can you tell me what it could be?

All my laptop seems good for May 6, 2008

My cow has decided that it is her own personal bed.

I let her believe that.

Nothing else I can do since the silly thing won’t turn on!

Who knew… February 6, 2008

All this cupcake pondering is exhausting!  Perhaps a break is needed… One always does feel naps are necessary after some reading… 

Randomness of today February 1, 2008

Look what I found…

 She knows exactly what she’s doing.

From all the remarks, I think I’m going to call my hair a dayglo koolaid red.  And since several people hunted me down and asked to see my hair dry,  here I am:

YupYup, still loving it.  And yes, I am well aware of it’s brightness.

The stitching of a cupcake January 30, 2008

Since I was home sick today, I decided I needed something to keep myself busy with.  I would have begun working on the aprons, but seems other people seem to forget things and don’t do what they get asked for!  So, since I know that the little extra something I want to add to each apron will take me some time and patience, I figured it didn’t hurt to cut some fabric and getting to embroider the special little design which I hope to use as each pocket on the pinafore.  I got a wonderful book called Sublime Stitching which has loads of iron on transfer patterns and instructions on how to do basic stitches. 

First up is the cupcake design for my cupcake sis. 

I lightly traced it on with a pencil. 

Then I used a stem stitch in green for the stem of the cherry.

And I used a split stitch in red for the actual cherry.

  I even had a special furry helper!

Currently I finished up bordering the top cupcake area with a slant stitch with a multicolor pink thread.  I’m thinking of using that same thread to fill the area in with a satin stitch.  I probably should have done the satin stitch first.  However, I thought the thread was going to show a little more color.  It’s fine, if anything, I could always add another bordering with another stitch.  Let’s see how I feel as I go along… 

 

    

After all my hard work!!! January 17, 2008

Can you believe this!?  I turn away to upload the pictures and write up my post about it… when suddenly I look down at the foot of my bed where my pretty apron is… and what do I find but a fat cow rolled up all on top of it.  *sigh*

I would show you a pic of my cow, but for some reason the upload isn’t working for me tonight.  A lot seems not to be working.  Maybe tomorrow or something.
