I did it. 97% of the wall is complete! There are two boards, both of which need lots of fitting and finishing, and when they’re installed, the wall will be finished! (No, not talking trim or window trim or shelves, just WALL!) But this, this opens the door for those shelves that I have in…

Deer Crossing
I spent most of my day either cleaning and picking up my house or sneaking out to work in my studio. I only have the boards above the big window to install! I also bought a truckload of good plastic tubs to keep my crafts in, hopefully they’ll be much more mouse-proof than my cardboard…
Amazing Day
A few months ago, I received a call asking if I might be interested in talking to the Johnson County Cattlewomen at their Ag Summit. (Yes, I live in Washakie County… this was in Buffalo, Wyoming… a *traveling* speaking engagement!) I warned them I was more of a public WRITER than SPEAKER, but they wanted…
Speech! Speech!
I’m not home. I’m in Buffalo preparing to be an Actual Speaker at the Johnson County Cattlewomen’s Ag Summit. More details tomorrow!
Can’t Ask for More
So yesterday was spent getting the cows ready for calving season… some vaccine to pass along good antibodies to their calves, a shot of minerals, and a little wormer. Plus some sorting of the younger cows off from the older. The 0’s and 1’s, aka the two and three year olds, we keep separate. They…
Window Wall
Finally, some time spent in my studio! That’s a resolution for this year… finish the studio… and create something out there! There’s much to be done still… I’ve run out of tongue and groove on my window wall, so it’s whatever I can scrounge. Still no clue on how I’m going to finish around this…
Blogoversary Winner
Thanks to everyone who entered my contest for a Red Dirt 2014 calendar! Today is officially my blogoversary! 2008. Wow… 2008! I NEVER thought I’d blog this long… I didn’t think anyone would find me! But I did and you did, and together we make a great team! I loved reading your comments… what you…
Wet Felted Wool Hat II
Starting with yesterday’s post, I continued my hat project. I had *barely* enough wool to make two layers with my roving. My mittens, if you recall, had four layers. Four wet felted layers will block wind and make your hands sweat if it’s 30 degrees! Two was not enough, but it was what I had…
Wet Felted Wool Hat
The latest wet felted wool project was this… a hat! My son-in-law got a great hat for Christmas, knit, and with well formed ear coverings… so I decided I’d make one for me out of wool. I copied the pattern and went for it. I was really down to the tail ends of my wool……
Moonset and Sunset
I’ve been kicking myself for not going out and trying to take moonlight on snow photos last night… it was absolutely, brilliantly, gorgeous! So when I headed to work this morning, I had my camera in hand, hoping to catch a shot of the moon on her lustrous way down… and I did! This is…
Why Is That?
I asked, “If I drive the Durango down to my studio, do you think I’ll get stuck?” “Nah, it goes pretty good. ‘Sides, if you do, I’ll come pull you out.” Jinxed right there. It’s tricky driving down there, it’s slanted and short of room by the dog kennel… so, yes, after I unloaded some…
