~ Country Back Roads ~

What a beautiful Saturday here

in Wisconsin...hope it's just

as nice in your corner of the world!

Today, I'll share another idea for a scissor stand,

some of you may have one of these laying

around your sewing room....

~ Old wooden textile mill spool ~

This one measures 4" tall by 4" in diameter.  I added some old red wool

strips to the center & fastened it with old pins.  

This spool in holding my 5.5" scissors perfectly....I use this 

on my work table...it's very handy!

Yesterday my husband & Sam were running some errands 

that took them through some of Wisconsin's rural

back roads ~ Cashton, Wisconsin, which is heavily populated with

the Amish.

Sam is really GOOD & FAST at taking photos & videos on

his IPhone &  was able to capture some awesome 

clips of Amish with a big team of horses.

This is a photo when they first saw what was ahead of them....

Wow ~ a team of 6 horses!

They covered more than half the road!!

Next....please bear with me because I've never inserted a video clip before,

 I'm not really sure if I'm doing this right, but I sure hope

it works....because this is such an awesome sight :)

These are just short little clips ~ as they were driving past them.

The older Amish don't like to have their pictures taken, and will bow their heads,

 but the younger generation doesn't mind....they actually seem to like it.

I just had to share this with you, as it's a sight that 

some folks who live in the city might never get a chance to see.

I love books with lots of great photos, and today I'll share

a favorite on Tasha Tudor....what an incredible lady

she was.  I really admired her work as a author, children's book illustrator,

artist, gardener, you name it she had the touch for it!

There are many different book on Tasha Tudor,

today I'll share this one titled:

Tasha Tudor's Heirloom Crafts

Hardcover ~ 152 pages

Tasha loved animals & gardening.

Here she is will here Nubian Goats.

This is the back cover of the book.

So if your looking for a great book to add to your library... I would

highly recommend this lovely book.

Oops, I almost forgot a couple more pictures that Sam took yesterday.

The grass is so nice & green now....Sam knows how much I 

love sheep so he took these snaps just for me :)

These sheep will probably be getting sheared soon...I'm surprised they 

haven't been already!

Enjoy your Saturday doing something special.

Until tomorrow....take care.
