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…
Best Advantage
My last day before our Library Open House and Silent Auction. Did I get everything finished I wanted to?? No. There never seems to be enough time. But I’ll donate a calendar, a soapstone, and maybe even some honey if I can part with it!!! Then there’s this little item. These are made of local…
Friend’s Gift
With the cold and the snow (6′ in Buffalo, NY, really???) my mind thinks of wool… Here’s my first wool BOWL! I cut a resist from some soft plastic (floor underlayment) about 5″ across. I began to layer wool roving under and over it, each time changing the direction of the roving, and pulling the…
Puzzle Blocks
Little Jaxon will have his second birthday party tomorrow. Today I worked on one of his presents. Puzzle blocks. They turned out so well, I have to share! I cruised through my stash of Little Golden Books… and I found Wiggles. Published in 1954. The book is older than I am! But it had a…
Tease
Today was a busy and long day. It began with a little of this.. Then it included this… Followed by hours at this… But the best part of today??? This… Am I a tease or what????
Adding Color
Babysat the grandkids so Tess could go ride and gather cows… preg testing a small bunch tomorrow! I did manage to put a bit of color on my poster’s test copy for Craig Johnson. It’s not finished yet, and I don’t like the pink/purple in the upper right corner… but that’s why it’s a test…
Woolen Blocks
Darkness is coming earlier in the evening, and I find myself reaching for unfinished projects to work on as I sit on the couch. My first choice… Soft woolen blocks for the granddaughters… I had needle felted the designs on, but not finished the handstitching… Made from a multicolored felt piece from Lucy’s Sheep Camp,…
Worm Pills for Children
In between working and riding and fighting to create the Powwow Video… I have been able to sneak out to my studio! While I’m still in search of my map of Girl Scout National Center West (anyone have a spare to donate? 😉 ), so my map tabletop is at a standstill, I decided to…
