Worland Library Christmas
The weather has been holding and we’ve had some nice days, the sun is still strong and if the wind stays still, it can be quite pleasant. The guys are going in different directions… checking the pipeline for the cows, graveling some large stretches of road, paperwork, and designing some new pens and more corral…
Bear Board
Progress on the bear. Drilling holes for the cribbage board back and wood staining are left to do…
Simple Stones
I spent the day trying to find my house underneath all my junk. Clean clothes, dirty dishes, cardboard boxes saved to use for stencils, and piles of junk mail. Once I got my kitchen clean, I turned around and made a dessert to go with supper. Well, the kitchen was clean for half an hour……
Bear Burn
Yes, I should only be braiding reins. Yes, I should just finish painting up the rocks I have collected. No, I probably should not have started a wood burning project… but, I did. Frigid days are perfect for indoor crafting! This little guy belonged to a friend… and he was looking a tad bit rough….
Reins For Everyone!
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…
