T.H. and I have been getting along pretty well lately. Not one skirmish in the sorting pens. Because lately there haven’t been any cattle to sort. Today he wants to gather 80 cows and calves, sort, doctor and move them to the west pasture. He drives out in the pickup to see where they are. […]

Does anyone remember Ralph E Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog ? From Looney Tunes? ( Ralph is really Wile E Coyote, in case you didn’t know) The other day when Puncher and I were moving pairs, images of Ralph and Sam waltzed right into my noggin. You see, when Puncher sets out to move cattle, they “skee-daddle.” […]

I stated that the leopard print pillow I made last week was my favorite creation to date. That is no longer true. This leopard pillow is my new favorite creation to date on my Cowgirl Red Blog. I used that same skirt for inspiration and the same technique.I’m calling it “Reverse Applique”. I placed the bias strips horizontally […]

The Black “Baldie” Cow. They are “snowflakes” wrapped in cowhide. From afar they look the same. Up close, no two are alike. They are a work of art. Sometimes the big snowflakes have little snowflakes. That look just like their mamas. Thus negating my snowflake theory. Did anyone ever tell you….. “You look just like […]

This may well be my favorite creation to date on my Cowgirl Red Fiber Art Blog. The inspiration was my favorite summer skirt on the right. I don’t know what the technique is called. It is two layers of fabric, appliqued and cut out randomly. The fabric on the left is an extremely cheap (price […]

After the unfortunate Devil Horse episode with Pardner , I spent the last month riding him every day. We became reacquainted. I thought we were friends again. I thought we were having fun. We didn’t attend any more silly horse shows. I thought we had really bonded. I have a problem though. It keeps forgetting […]

Tarnation
By
It’s been mighty quiet on the Cowgirl Red Blog this week. Did someone ask, “What in tar-nation have you been doing?” What exactly is a “tar-nation”? It’s a word made up by Yosemite Sam from the year 1966. Well, my dear….Merriam-Webster would disagree. To be precise, it is a euphemism for “damnation” from the […]

Julia Cameron “Julia” to me. I’m a huge fan(atic) of Julia’s. I feel like I know her well enough to be on a first name basis because I own most of her books, I’ve read them, and I stalked her once. Last fall I bumped into her at Starbuck’s in Santa Fe. I stalked her […]

In the Cowgirl World, a “Saddle Series” is a series of horse competitions over time with the winner taking home a new trophy saddle. Barrel Racing, Cutting, Ranch Sorting. All western events have them. The saddles are highly prized in the horse kingdom. I’ve never won one. I may buy one on EBay someday. My […]

I have always used an older well behaved dog (if I had one) to facilitate my puppy training. It’s not exactly training as in “sit”, “come”and “stay”. The older dog serves to ease the puppy into his many “First Times”. First night in the kennel: I put my good old quiet dog, Tip, in the pen next to Ace for company. Tip has performed as […]
