Perfect

Posted on January 31, 2023January 31, 2023

After all my work on the studio, it’s just not available in the winter. A few small electric heaters and a wood cook stove still take time to warm it up. Supplies that can freeze just can’t be left there. Sitting down to work on a project for only half an hour here and there…

New Creations

Posted on January 27, 2023

I’ve been playing… if you’re interested, leave me a comment and I can get back to you with the details. I’m not sure I’m quite brave enough for an Etsy shop. What do you think? Details in the comments.

Play Time

Posted on January 20, 2023January 20, 2023

With days of bad weather and babysitting and “me time”, my stash of crafts has grown. I’ve been on an alcohol ink kick lately. The trouble I’ve faced is how to seal the ink. I’d made quite a few and knew they weren’t dishwasher safe. And I also didn’t like the way the acrylic spray…

Unique

Posted on December 13, 2022

Cold and snow has arrived and I spent a large part of the day simply inside… working on some Christmas presents. While I can’t share pictures of those… I did take a bit to work on my switch plates for my bathroom. I made this one a while back. Yes, my switch plates are sideways….

Like It

Posted on December 12, 2022

A new favorite mug. The picture doesn’t do it justice… there’s ribbons of copper highlighting the forest colors… Yup. I like this one! What colors would you want together on a mug?

Better Than

Don’t know if I’m done with them or not… but it was better than scrolling through Facebook!

Kinda Cute

Posted on November 21, 2022

Well, he’s kinda cute! I’m trying to come up with some donations for our Library Silent Auction. This little trinket tray is the first.

Suggested Donation

Posted on October 29, 2022

Met with some of the nicest ladies today in order to make journals. The Friends of the Ten Sleep Library upcycle journals from old books as a fundraiser. We take donated, unwanted books, cut them apart, and save a few pages. Then we add assorted papers cut to size. We have boxes of donated scrapbooking…

Poster Style

Posted on September 25, 2022

I wanted to share some of my fun little posters I’ve been making lately. I kind of started playing around because we had talked about a new sticker at the library to give to people who donate. I’ve been a fan of the national park posters… or vintage travel posters. These balsamroot flowers weren’t quite…

Chinky Dink

Posted on August 30, 2022August 30, 2022

Chinks are short chaps. Usually, they just cover the top half of your leg, though they can be almost as long as full length chaps. Full length chaps are less popular around here, though I still have my old pair. As we were riding the other day, we made a comment that Reagan needed a…

Count This

Posted on August 12, 2022

I recently grabbed eight metal folding chairs for free. We’re often looking for extra seating at brandings or other get-togethers. I always look at that dirty tan color and just… bleh… They’re so ugly! I decided to have some fun. With no plan other than to use up my leftover cans of spray paint, I…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on a Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherd, Bravo, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
