Mr. Clouds - Despur

Hi to all, 

Start with this, that morning we cleaned out the coop, sprayed it to 

kill lice and any other thing that was in there that did not belong. 

Inside the coop got a thick layer of shavings. All laying nest areas got 

new clean layer pads for their nest area. Then we attacked the covered 

area, cleaned, and sprayed then laid down clean hay thick for them. 

Mr. Cloud's Spurs

Mr. Cloud's spurs size: One measuring the curve is 3 & 1/2 inches. The other 

one's size is: 3 & 1/4 inches. One of them was larger around at the point 

where it attaches to the leg.

So, Monday evening we approached the chicken coop. Went in and 

dusted all of them all with Diatomaceous Earth. Then put a towel around 

himself, picked him up and I held him, Vince used plies and twisted off 

the spurs. It was easy, we then washed each tiny new spur with cleanser 

and we sprayed it with the purple stuff, fights infection and protects while 

it hardens off. Picks of the first set of spurs will come once I have cleaned 

they up. Also sprayed the hen's backs, all their feathers are missing on 

their backs. Spurs needed to be gone, so hens can recover. 

He was such a lover, just laid limp in my arms while we worked. Got 

to love a rooster like that. 

The next day while doing my walk, I passed them all in the sunny spot 

in the chicken yard, laying on their sides, with wings spread out. They all 

looked so content and happy. I have never caught all doing this together. 

The next day we got 7 eggs, meaning all chickens laid that day. Cleaning 

the coop really pays off. 😇🤣😍

Love and Prayers,

🪚Getting closer to my 1st video 🪚

Hello to all, 

I am getting closer to making my 1st video about us and crafting. I 

have been taking my time learning how to upload videos, and that 

is not fun, sometimes it seems to take forever to get even a short 

one uploaded. Just been caching things around us that are happening 

in different areas. From my flowers to anything that is going on. 

Plan to have videos about us, our Army days, snowmachining, and 

even when we had the 3 wheelers. I did enjoy all of that. 

Want to show my embroidery I have done, and on my site to buy if 

you want some designs I show. 

Want to have some about my scrolling in wood, what I have made and 

what I am working on. 

 Crafting with many different items. There are a lot of things to play 

with, sometimes we have to take the time to play and enjoy ourselves. 

I am learning about acrylic and how to make beads, and I think I am 

going to love all this new stuff I am working with. 

So, keep watching, I will be starting this fall, I hope. 

Love and Prayers, 

 Margo

about my jewelry making.

Orange Toes 🦎

Hello to all, 

Just spent hours looking for this. I knew I had made an animated 

lizard with orange toes and spots down his back. I used to own a blue 

lizard with orange spots when we lived in Anchorage, Alaska. Because 

of owning this one, I decided to draw him, color and animate him.

Copyrights do apply as I have colored, drawn it and then animated it.

Luna Moths

Hi all, 

While walking in our backyard the other day, I seen this and just had to take a picture. 

The first pic I think is a male.

The male, I think. His color is different.

The female behind the other one.

This shot or pic is of the other side of the leaf they were hanging on. 

I think that is the female.

They hung there all day and left sometime during the night. 

They were gone the next day. 

I was so happy to see them, they are so pretty.

📿Boho and paper beads

Hello to all, 

I have some pictures of the beads I have made so far. This is more fun and addicting habit to get into.

Here is the pic of the boho beads. 

My boho beads-had fun.

Then I got crazy and made a huge batch of paper beads. I still have to finish them 

and then they will be ready to add to bookmarks and other things.

So, has anyone else out there made these? They are fun and will look very nice when 

finished.

🦝 In the heat of the night 🦝

Morning to all, 

When things show change on your back porch, you know what 

to expect when you set the trap. Yep! That is right, Raccoon. He or 

she tore down the temp gauge, turned over things on porch and tore 

down one bird feeder and emptied both of any food overnight.

So here is what we found this morning.

He had a lovely meal of two cans of tuna.

Cactus "red" flowering 🥀

Hello to all, 

I found this on my upper deck. This is the first time it has 

flowered since we left Alaska. The plant is covered in buds. 

Makes me happy. 😍

Flowering in June 2026

We left AK. back in 2011. So that is a long long time with no 

flowers. It always seemed to put on buds while in the house, 

but they never developed to flower before they dropped off. 

All it needed was a lot of sun and hot temps to make it happy. 

Right now, it is on our upper deck outside, where the green 

house roofing is located.

Serger Quilt Fun 😍

Hello to all, 

I had a lot of fun making this quilt. I used my serger putting the front and 

the back together with batting all in one step. It was fun and FAST. I loved 

this so much I will try to make a larger one. This one was done when we 

were in Alaska. I had a small porch swing. Our swing set now here in W.V. 

is much larger, so I will have to get to work on making this new one. 

The back also looks just like the front; each block has embroidery on it. 

I just surged the edges of the quilt as you go, and you are done.

Dog Quilts 🐩🐕

Hello everyone, 

I started this in Ohio, but we moved, so now I can start work on them 

again. I have about 8 or 12 large 9 blocks stitched up with an applique 

angel on the center one, I have yet to stitch up the rest of the quilt. I 

will hunt a place around here to see if they have "no kill" shelter for 

dogs and cats.

What I had in mind making these, it that for some dogs who are scared 

and feeling lonely, they need a "pick me up" quilt so they can cuttle up 

with it or sit or lay on it. Something just for them, that can go with them 

when they find a forever home. They are washable and have nothing on 

them that could hurt them. Here is just one pic of what they are like. 

Dog blanket for homeless dogs

I am sure they will enjoy getting a little something just for them alone.

Blue Jean Rag Quilt 🫡

Hello all, 

I have stitched up my first rag quilt. I used blue jean material. On every other 

block is an embroidery design. It is hand tied on every other block. I had fun 

making this, buy have not yet washed it. That will be done at a laundry mat. 

The designs were whatever I had on hand that was small and not overstitched. 

Front

Back

Both sides have the embroidery on it. This was done on my serger called Quil as

you go. So, when you stitched up one block it was complete front and back.

🦷 Front filling on tooth 🦷🤬

Hello all, 

On the 29th of April 2026, I had lost a front filling in my tooth. I went to 

the dentist, they took an x-ray to see everything. I told a short story 

as to my fall over the little cliff. They checked the tooth with the "cold" 

and then the "coldest" cold they had on the tooth and I felt nothing. 

I knew I was worried that my upper teeth were still numb feeling and sure 

enough, the tooth was "dead". They drilled the tooth to perp for another 

filling. I felt nothing while she worked on the tooth. 

Folks, that is the first time in my life of having a tooth drilled with no 

pain medicine.

I know to be careful with the teeth that I think are dead, from the accident. 

I hope they do not have to be crowned.  Way too much money now days.

The front filling was over 400.00 dollars. 

Can you think how much a crown would cost???

Love and Prayers,

New Bookmark

Hello to everyone, 

Another NEW bookmark I have made. 

This was a request from a friend, using their colors and 

items they wanted on it. 

I think it turned out very cute. 

NEW Bookmark 

I love making these. I am also getting into making my own beads, called 

boho beads. Going to give that a try. I have also made some crosses to use 

as a bookmark for your bible. Will also try this in wood.

Another year of Raccoons 🦝

Morning everyone, 

Today is going to be in the 70s, last night in the high 40s. 

We had a visitor for a few nights eating cat food and drinking 

from the cat water bowl. Bad mess to clean up.

June 2, 2026

I did not think that Raccoons would eat your plants, but he has 

been turning over pots and eating my succulent ground covers that 

I had planted. They were not cheap, so have to wait to see them 

grow back next year. 

RIP 🦝

🪻 Happy Birthday to ME (late)🤣🪻

Hello everyone, 

So, I forgot to post for April, so it is a late birthday wish. I did have a nice 

birthday in April. Now it is May, and I am still waiting for spring (cold and freezing)

 to end, and summer (hot and sunny) to start. The weather this spring is crazy; 

last night and more nights ahead are frost or freeze warnings almost every day 

now. I think most of my bulbs have been hit with so many frosts this year, not 

sure if they will flower at all. 

I still have a pair of doves that need a home. Hoping this summer, they will find it. 

Hope all are having a wonderful day. 

Love and Prayers, 

 Margo

🌷 What is up? 🪻 It's Springtime🌹

Hi to everyone, 

So not doing much, very unsettled weather this spring, but that is normal for springtime, rainstorms, windstorms, snow/sleet, you name it, and it will hit in spring. Once we are past that, it is summertime, and all will be complaining about the "hot weather".

So let the rain and all fall for now, to enjoy all the flowers this summer. 

I do have daffodils blooming and buds all over. 🌻🌷

Love and Prayers,

🎂 Happy Birthday Vince🎂🥳💐

Hello to all, 

Yesterday we had pork roast for supper, and German chocolate cake 

for dessert. 

It was Vince's birthday. It was a good day. I put one candle on the cake, 

so he could make a wish and blow it out. 😍

Today, it snowed just enough to cover the shed top and some grass. 

It is melting off really fast now. 

Really warm days are coming this week, can't wait.

The gout on my foot is getting better; most of the pain is gone now, but 

the swelling will not go away. Guess it needs more time to heal. 

Love and Prayers,

 Margo

NEW- Bookmarks 😍

Hello everyone, 

Today we have some more new bookmarks. Hope you will like them 

as much as I do. These have a theme about them for a change. 

You can click on the picture for a larger view of the bookmarks. 

These on this page are the large bookmarks. 

Horse Lovers Bookmark

St. Pat's Day Bookmark

Lobster Day Bookmark

Valentine's Day Bookmark

I make large and small bookmarks. Why? You may ask! Because not 

all books are the same size, some are tall, and others are shorter. So 

the length of the bookmark charms varies from long to short. Some 

are even lighter, for the more like a paperback book or magazine. 

Will try to post more tomorrow. 

Thanks for coming by for a view now and then.
