Somehow, along the way… I decided that I would make a set of braided reins for each grandchild. My thought was that when they grew up, they would each have a full sized set of reins and say, “My grandmother made these reins for me!” I decided I better get myself in gear and complete…

Back To It
You may recall I talked about potholder rugs back in early February, back before the world stumbled. Well, I’m back at them! I made one for my sister… This one I called the Continental… it reminds me of the colors of the Continental Army, navy blue, tan, and white with red accents. I traded this…
Tables
OK, I have a thing for tables. I love them. I have more than I need. But when Megan asked if I wanted a cute little end table, of course I said yes. It was plain. Modern. It still had stubborn stickers on it. Piece A. Piece B. Once I started sanding on it, I…
Working On It
My newest little project… This little table is winning me over… I’m not sure I’ll be able to sell it! There’s a bit more woodburning to do and I might line the drawer and the final stain… What do you think?
Acrylic Pour
It’s been kind of a crafty week… We had a “How To Make A Journal Class” at the library. I will share that at some point… then today, I attended an acrylic pour class put on by my friend, B. B. Has been doing this style of painting for a year or so… now combining…
Crafts
Latest things to keep my hands busy… A pair of red, white, and blue round reins. Who are they for? I think I have a plan for a stash for the grandkids… as they need “grownup” reins (length is 8′ – much too long for short pony necks), maybe there will be enough of them…
Presents!
So, I have to say… you readers are amazing. Every once in a while, you just floor me. I received a very long package in the mail the other day… a surprise gift from one of you! Well, we’d kind of talked about it. Then I totally forgot about it… and now, here they were….
Foxy
With posting here and on Facebook and Instagram… somehow, I missed sharing what’s been keeping me busy crafting. For those of you who do follow me on those other places… here’s a bit of a repeat. The Friends of the Library always enter a wreath in the Festival of Trees. Our original idea of making…
Gnomies
After those vintage trailer rocks, I had to try my hand at making a few of those popular gnome figures. I like the trailers better, but these guys can still be my gnomies… Question: do you prefer them to be magnets or hanging ornaments?
Vintage Trailers
What is it about those 1950’s trailers, repainted and repurposed instead of sitting abandoned… I love ‘em… So… grab some perfectly shaped cobbles from the creek, wash ‘em, and start painting! Aren’t they cuuuuuuuute? And I like those old pickups, too…
Treasure Beach
Because I needed some rocks for a craft I had in mind… I recruited my local work force. Nothing like a good rocky beach for discovering all sorts of treasures! Tomorrow I will share what I’ve been working on.
