I usually try to submit some crafty items for the Silent Auction at the library. I’m actually accomplishing more than I have in years past… This is the one I’m happiest with at the moment. I decided to etch some stemless wine glasses. Now the glasses aren’t that expensive, so I wouldn’t be losing too…

A Little Boy’s Hands
One day, when the twins were here, Wyatt found some plain wooden blocks. I had a plan for them at one time, creating a puzzle set of four blocks, like ones I’d made for Jaxon. Wyatt played with those blocks ALL DAY. Well, I decide I was going to give them to him for his…
Remember This?
This was my first big tangle pattern poster. I did it for One Book Wyoming and Craig Johnson’s visit to Ten Sleep last year. We didn’t use it for a poster but I spent many an hour on it, and loved how it turned out. No matter that we didn’t use it, I was bound…
Watercolor
I played today by attending a workshop at the Washakie Museum in Worland. Gayle Barnett was the presenter for a class on watercolor painting! I had never met her until today, though I have bought some of her cards before. Formerly of Meeteetse, Wyoming, she now works in the big city of Recluse! This was…
For Now
Been working on this one a while. I’m not completely sure I’m finished, but… for now…
Nice Looking Men
I got sidetracked again… so still no video… Here are two of my favorite photos from the other day… My boys! Daniel. Brandon. I *still* can’t get over the grass! This morning I completed this… another sweetie! This is for a tshirt contest for the English Shepherd Club. They wanted art – although “art” is…
67 Million Years
Hey, there, Craig Johnson, author of Dry Bones, the newest installment in the Longmire mystery series… I have a bone to pick with you! The reason my garden is full of weeds, none of the outbuildings have been weeded around, the trim on my house isn’t painted, nor is a myriad of other jobs complete……
Felted iPhone Case
For my first wet felted bag I’ve made… I chose to do a sunflower decorated iPhone case for a friend’s birthday. With lots of needle felting after the wet felting… I like it.
A Wonderful, Beautiful Thing
It has been raining here… a wonderful, beautiful thing! When you live in such an arid climate, rain is a thing to be celebrated! Of course, there are plenty of people who are whining, plans ruined, more work, and I understand… but to listen to the earth drink in the raindrops, to hear plinks on…
Mountain Meadow Wool
I arrived home this evening, having to abandon Victoria and the boys to get some work done around here before I have to work Wednesday and Thursday. On my way through Buffalo… I didn’t stop at any antique stores or hardware stores but I did finally accomplish something I’ve been wanting to do for a…
Art Doodle
I taught an art doodle class at the library tonight. It’s a fun little hobby, easy to do, minimal supplies… We went over some designs… Practiced a little… Then we all copied a stencil of a cat… and look what happened! Each one is so different! This was SO FUN! Thanks, ladies, for coming!
Latest Creation
In a week, I’ll be teaching a couple classes on doodling. Yes, those little squiggles made during boring meetings, bursts of creativity, and relaxing moments. What good is doodling? What can you do with doodles? Well, here’s my latest creation.
