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.
Moonset Pastel
A few days ago, I posted this as a photo… This is my pastel version! Yes, the moon is so much bigger, but that’s the way the eyes see it, while the camera doesn’t capture it the same way. Oh, I’d give this a B- grade, but this is all learning… And these red…
Wool Scarf, Step Two
In the past, I’ve seen gorgeous “landscape” scarves on the internet. The scarves are wet felted from roving, then needle felted with details. Ever since I saw the first one… I’ve wanted to make one! Isn’t it perfectly delicious? Finally, I did. Part One of this journey begins HERE. I’ve laid out my roving until…
Wool Scarf
Tomorrow the Ten Sleep Library will be hosting Billie Jo Norsworthy from Lucy’s Sheep Camp. She’s coming over from Thermopolis just to give some lucky people a class on wool needle felting! Of course, someone has to be there to supervise the library… 😉 If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve seen me…
Merry Late Christmas
I’m not necessarily known for being on time… unfortunately, that’s one of my failings… so, no surprise that Daniel’s Christmas present was only 2/3 complete that day… and then, if it was late, well… no rush, right? I know, I’m horrible… But, hey, he received them last night! His new headstall is black leather, so…
Gifts
I woke up to a blizzard… boy, the wind was blowing and the snow was coming down! When it was done, we’d received 5 more inches on what we already have… time to break out the snowshoes! I faced the wind and squinted as I walked to the chicken coop… brrr. A few fumbling missteps…
Perfect
Ah. Maybe. Maybe. The end is in sight! I feel better, but still am short on energy! Still… I could get up and do short periods of work before I’d sit back down and rest. I did finish the last of the presents for the grandsons… Now, my mom made matching gifts for my kids…
