I’ve noticed bright, colorful flower pots for sale… a rainbow of colors. I’ve been tempted… might as well have some color in your flowerbeds before the flowers actually BLOOM. But you know me, I didn’t want to spend the $$$ for a colored plastic pot. I have all sorts of boring, black, white, and clay…

Another rainy afternoon… so here’s my collection so far…
Mahogany Hills Pendant
For those of you called by the colors of the earth, this rectangular agate echoes the mahogany hills and dry prairie grasses of Wyoming. Infused with seams of chocolate shadows, the stone reflects the land. Wear this pendant and keep yourself grounded in nature’s beauty. Also included are two matching pierced earrings wrapped with silver…
Copper Wrap
I spent an afternoon on this… It’s not my design, simply one I copied off of Pinterest. It was my first bracelet that I’ve made, so I felt I should follow a successful pattern! I like it. Yes, my wrists are huge, so it is a big bracelet, but that’s just how it is. It…
Ready (Finally)
I started this little item in October for Victoria’s November birthday. I made it WAY too big, so I tore it apart. Then, I added WAY too many beads so that it was just all cluttered, so I tore it apart. Next, I liked what I did… and I’m NOT tearing it apart! Hey, Toria! …
Eight Strand Gaucho Braid
I haven’t made a movie in a Very Long Time. Since I just finished braiding my reins on our trip to Colorado, I decided to film that tutorial. It’s one of the most difficult braids I’ve done because it’s is very hard to find where you left off if you get interrupted! In fact, I…
Inspired
Bullet journaling is a topic that I shared during my Journaling Class I gave at the library a while back… basically it’s a great way to keep track of things like goal setting or habits. You can track just about anything… and be organized about it. It’s a way to accomplish things instead of just…
Chicken Hunt
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!
