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.
Hearts ‘n’ Love
The movies may be done, but they refuse to upload… so… In the midst of wet felting slippers and working and cooking corned beef and cabbage and meeting new people… I hid out in my studio. I turned on my little “fireplace”. I turned on my heater. I built a fire in the cookstove. I…
Wet Felted Slipper Tutorial (Part One)
Held my mouth right, and the video uploaded! Yay! Well, I also shortened it, so Part Two and most likely Part Three will be coming as well. I still am planning my next Q&A session, neverfear. Should I have problems uploading the next videos, I’ll squeeze it in there somewhere. For now, enjoy the beginning…
Starting to Felt
I began the major felting of my wool slippers. They still are not complete, seeing as how I actually had to go to work the past two days! One is 80% complete, with some final shrinking left, and one I have yet to begin. I’ve just reviewed my videos I’ve been taking throughout this process. …
Slop Your Dripper
The day was chilly… with tattered remnants of snow pasted on the ground. While I should have worked again on a bee hive or cleaned the chicken coop, I remained inside, trying to accomplish a goal I had set for winter. I have wanted to make a pair of wool slippers… well, almost booties since…
Oil Can
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your day was enjoyable… Mine was, with a little of this, a little of that… I cleaned up an oil can! Remember the one a friend gave me for Christmas??? Well, Johnny found another one while cleaning out his shop and he was sweet enough to know I’d like it!…
Hello, Sunshine
Working at the library doesn’t leave me much room for ranchlife… I did manage another pic for my watercolor Art Challenge… and a great sunrise…
Wordless Thursday – “Pic Four”
That would be an oops on the Wordless Wednesday tradition… Today… Picture #4.
Soldier On
Day Three of my “Let’s Create” Challenge: Vernon is in bed. I gather my watercolor palette, paper, brushes, and a small container of water. Sitting on my couch… I choose a photo to paint from my ipad collection. Today, it’s going to be my rooster, Spot. He’s actually nice, and photogenic! I’m trying to soften…
Let’s Create!
A day of snow (yay!) and babysitting… while Jaxon and Lacee took naps, I pulled out my watercolors and postcards and went to work. A gallery in Casper has issued a “one painting a day in February” challenge. Now, I’m not *really* participating… they’re meeting to share and encourage each other… I’m here. But, hey,…
Birthday Shoes
I had to finish these today… for Tess’ birthday! Hope you enjoy them, Tess!
