I found a plug-in for Photoshop called Wireworm… and if I was smart enough to install it correctly… I could have made this photo much nicer without the power lines! However, I’ve fallen asleep once and my brain just won’t figure out what I need to do to make it work… Enjoy the powerlines! I…

Something
I worked in the studio pretty much all day! You’d think I’d have accomplished an amazing amount, but, as usual, it didn’t work out that way. I spent too much time gathering tools and screws. Definitely one of my pet peeves! I’d had to empty the studio for them to pour the concrete, and I’d…
Old Man
I was expecting to be at home with Victoria and the twins today, but got called to help load the semi that was taking our open cows to the sale. This is the time of year we cull our old cows as well… so those that weren’t pregnant (or “open”), plus the good ol’ girls…
Look At It!
It’s there! The floor is in! No more whining about it… time to put up or shut up! I’d love to spend tomorrow cleaning up around the edges… finishing up the ceiling… putting up backer board and tin so my woodstove can be hauled in… plus getting a start on everything else… but… It’s Cow…
Longmire Days
I’m abandoning ship. Something to do with a television show called Longmire. I’m leaving the guys behind to work, and I’m going to play. If you don’t hear from me, I’ve lost myself in “Durant”. Don’t bother coming to look for me, just call the Absaroka County Sheriff’s office. I don’t know why I like…
Girls Need Jawhorses Too
I worked all day in my studio… finishing up my tongue and groove siding. I much prefer this work to hanging my ceiling! And I actually did something I’ve been waiting WEEKS to do. After requesting to borrow Vernon’s “jawhorse”… and, after he continually forgot to bring it up from the other place… I went…
Artistic Wool Felting
Progress in the studio: The last sheet is in place, though not screwed down. Or up. Depending on your perspective. Yes, I plan to paint this side just like the other, but I was more concerned about using the lift than painting. Hopefully, a few minutes of attaching it, then it’s off to the other…
I Did It Myself
I spent the day in my studio… listening to Willa Cather’s O Pioneers! and repeatedly raising an OSB sheet to my ceiling. Since the walls are neither straight nor square, I had to continually trim more and more from the edges, of course, lifting/cranking/sawing/cursing/hammering/shoving it back into place each time. It took six tries, but…
Do Something!
Wow. What a nice day around here! I worked on my studio, this time doing some chinking. It’s finally warm enough, and it needs to be done before my cement floors get done. It’s amazing how much chinking goop I manage to drop! I wanted to incorporate some colored glass into the chinking, the idea…
Frustration for the Optimist
Mercy, mercy, what a total day of frustration! iPhoto still was not working this morning, so I rebuilt it as the instructions said to do, and everything looks fine. However, it continued to spin along, going through all my photos organizing faces… which is rather Big Brother-ish, but I let it do its thing, and…
Think About It
I know it’s not much… but for someone who can’t do too much work over her head… my shoulders protest!, I’m pretty happy. Vernon helped me insert that panel above the log, which took some doing, believe me! I’ll have to be creative with trim… perhaps rope? Simply adding quarter round to the corners isn’t going…
More and More Fun
I probably messed up… It was a warmish day, in the thirties, with sunshine for the first bit. I decided I was going to prime my ceiling boards for the studio, even if it wasn’t 50º. I hauled out a heater, turned it on, and felt it start kicking out heat. I then went to…
