The movies may be done, but they refuse to upload… so… In the midst of wet felting slippers and working and cooking corned beef and cabbage and meeting new people… I hid out in my studio. I turned on my little “fireplace”. I turned on my heater. I built a fire in the cookstove. I…

Questions and Answers – March 2016 Edition – Part One
Jo – “is that an old osage orange tree?” and Kay – “What kind of tree is that ? Is it alive ?” This tree is an old cottonwood. It is alive. There’s a little road that is used occasionally that runs underneath it… it depends on if the gates are open (and cows present)…
Wet Felted Slipper Tutorial (Part One)
Held my mouth right, and the video uploaded! Yay! Well, I also shortened it, so Part Two and most likely Part Three will be coming as well. I still am planning my next Q&A session, neverfear. Should I have problems uploading the next videos, I’ll squeeze it in there somewhere. For now, enjoy the beginning…
Ready
I made a video, but it failed to upload, and although I told it to re-upload, it sure is taking its sweet time. I worked at prepping for my baby chicks… Which is a mishmash of how about this? maybe that? here? there? Wha??????? I moved my chicken tractor out, planning to put it by…

Slop Your Dripper
The day was chilly… with tattered remnants of snow pasted on the ground. While I should have worked again on a bee hive or cleaned the chicken coop, I remained inside, trying to accomplish a goal I had set for winter. I have wanted to make a pair of wool slippers… well, almost booties since…
Sparrow Video
Rain and snow. It was great to see, as the country was dusty already. Although Ten Sleep didn’t receive much, I had .22″ in my rain gauge! The grass will grow with that. Today I finally uploaded a video I took on February 14. That was only 3 weeks ago, but the landscape sure has…
