After going on a chicken hunt this morning, I went in to work at the library to cover for a sick co-worker. My chickens occasionally prefer to go walkabout and I only had four in the coop when I went to lock them up last night. Now, there are just about a bazillion and a…

Organic Nerf Ball
It warmed up into the 30˚’s today, with just the occasional breeze to chill it back down. The guys said it was howling in the badlands when they were out checking the water lines. I passed on going with them… there’s still things I want to make or do that I didn’t get finished BEFORE…
Two Guesses
I’ll give you two guesses to come up with what I *almost* finished today! A little handsewing and putting the back on these… and… I’ve only one more to do! Whew. I’m not exactly timely… but, if you don’t tell ’em, they won’t remember!
Pint and Pottery
First try today at “Pint and Pottery” at the Ten Sleep Brewery. It’s the chance to decorate a pre-thrown vase with various glazes. I’ve never done anything like this before… but after some basic instructions from our local art teacher (who’s known for his Raku pottery), I was ready to try! First, I used a…
Megan’s Gift
With Megan and presents, you’ll have pretty good luck if it has something to do with the Beatles/1960’s or the Wizard of Oz… Sorry, Dorothy… I went with “Peace, Love, and Rock ‘n’ Roll”, oh, and a little hippy VW bug!
Shiny
Walked my little feet off today… or it feels like I did. Chasing cows through the brush, running the chute for a while, (until I started to overheat), then mowing my lawn with my little lawnmower (since some small child stole the keys to my riding lawnmower…) Whew. But, let’s look at the little thing…
Zentangled Shoes
I babysat until afternoon then decided to see if it was dry enough to rototill my garden. It was. Around and around I went, sparing the volunteer lettuce! The soil looks great under the straw left from my straw bale garden attempt last summer. I plan to go capture some other rotting straw and till…
Tempting Work
The weather has been amazing here of late. I believe Vernon told me in the past 40 days, we’ve received over three inches of rain and wet snow. That is simply, simply unbelievable. And it’s cold. I mean, in the 30’s and 40’s cold. With wind. Yippee. I’ve been hiding out indoors. Sitting around. Of…
Birthday Shoes
Two little girls’ birthdays are coming up… and part of their presents are these. They are pretty stinking cute if I do say so myself… But I found out the hard way with mine… DO NOT spray them with Scotchguard. I now have a smeared grey shoe to match my black and white zentangled one……
Mead!
Since my sister returned from Texas, we have been plotting to make a special little item! Years ago, she took me to the Texas Renaissance Fair. She made me a costume and EVERYTHING! It was a BLAST and I’d go again in a second… of course, along the way, we had a taste of mead….
Wire Woven Pendants
Whoops. Forgot about those chick pics… let’s do the latest craft instead. I’ve been playing with copper wire. You’ve seen the heart before. Now I’ve added two feathers to the collection. The first one was two toned, and I didn’t like it because of the looseness of the wraps. My second feather doesn’t have any…
Wet Felting Slippers – Part Two
Finally. I think I have it figured out. It doesn’t like long videos. How I would ever post something like a 20 minute video… it’s just not gonna let me. Here’s Part Two of what will become a long series of short videos! Felted Slippers (Part Two) from Carol Greet on Vimeo.
