The Twelfth Cow in Black and White

Well, here she is...
the twelfth cow... in black and white.
A black and white cow??? How RIDICULOUS!  Who could imagine a black and white c...oh...wait...

She's a non nonsense kind of gal. She is a linear thinking, she likes order in her life. She wants to know when it's time to eat, and when it's time to give milk. She likes simplicity. She knows life is not all black and white, that there is lots of gray but she doesn't like it. She knows which cows in the herd are full of it. She knows which farmers have warm hands. She knows she gives the best milk. She. Knows.

Here's the thing... she was never named. She may be straight laced but she longs for a name.

decision made, the layout works for me

I made 11 cows with the rainbow scrap challenge  (superscrappy ) this year, from scraps in all colors. Then this month there was no color given. I needed a twelfth cow.
Okay, I do love black and white fabric so that's MY chosen color this month. I will eventually do black and white flamingos and dishes all from the scrap pile <==

I have made each cow with floral print fabrics and this one was no different. I just love this herd. It will take a minute to set them right, and make the decisions needed to honor them the best way possible. This is a hard part for me.

Paring down the possibilities and choosing one.
Forgive me for not showing you all of them until they are done.
Please  help me name this girl.

raspberry parfait

Ahhhh Raspberry Parfait is this month's cow. The color is Lime green over at So Scrappy but my "green" cow was already lime plus grass green. I made an executive decision to use red violet...

and just for some sparkle... red violet sparkly glittery fabric for her face. Who doesn't want to sparkle???

Raspberry Parfait is a girl who loves to sparkle. She wants to stand out and vibrates at a lovely rate.
When she was a little calf she thought of becoming a dancer (hoofer) on Broadway...

but alas she had two left feet.
Then she thought about becoming a hoof reader,or a hypnotist, look deep into my eyes, she says....

Her ears were full of stars and moons, and she thought great thoughts. She sang beautifully or so the local bulls said, and she often took the bulls by the horns!
 She loved long walks in the paddock and yearned for imported alfalfa.
She considered getting a tatoo.
She was that kind of girl, one who wanted to experience all life had to offer.

She never left the farm, but she still sparkles.

Cocoa Cow-nell

pattern is from Piecemeal Quilts

Sometimes the boys call her Hot Chocolate!
Cocoa is a fun loving girl, loves sweets  pink lipstick, and hexies.
I can relate!!
The color at the RSC2015  this month is brown, so I had to do a brown cow. How now, brown cow!
A BROWN cow??! Ridiculous!
She came from this...

brown scrap box.

It used to close

someone needs to use up some brown scraps around here. Well dishes and flamingos to go... I don't know if I can cope with a brown flamingo...





I wanted to use these pretties but they weren't the right shades

Anyway, back to Cocoa... the best little chocolate milk producer in the herd...

 She has her eye on you... are you eating chocolate??? 

I have chosen florals or plant like prints for each cow, but had to use those hexies heh heh. 

Oh! She wanted me to point out, her lipstick looks like a shade of Chanel but it's "Mo0ove over" from her own line,  "Cow-nell" (not available in stores)
