Only Fair

Posted on February 18, 2012April 3, 2015

I rolled out this morning to help Vernon again. But this time there was a different twist, for it’s my Bountiful Basket morning… meaning our food co-op was delivering.  I had to disappoint my dogs, telling them, “No.  Stay in the yard.” What disappointed looks! I drove my Durango to help feed, then took off…

Bag It!

Posted on February 16, 2012April 3, 2015

To begin your “feed bag”, cut off the bottom seam of your feed sack of choice.  Make sure you’re even with the lettering… stay fairly close to the seam. Create “legs”… leaving the folded edges of your sack alone, just cut up and over, removing a rectangle from the front and back.  Hopefully, the image…

Bag It Up!

Posted on February 14, 2012October 19, 2014

Here’s an easy peasy craft for you… Got a “plastic” bag that your dog food comes in?  (Or chicken feed, horse feed, cow cake, or pig protein?) Maybe you have a big sack of salt for your water softener or potting soil? If it is woven reinforced plastic, not paper, GO GET IT! Here’s mine….

Wool Passion

Posted on December 30, 2011April 1, 2015

Last November… yes, LAST November… as in 2010… I started Vernon’s Christmas present, a wonderful wool saddlepad, instructions shared by my friend, Linda, up in Alberta. I worked on it.  Even started A New Craft Support Group. And A New Craft Support Group Part B. Then spring came… and we remodeled and moved… and did…

Dala or Notdala

Posted on December 5, 2011April 1, 2015

Tonight was the Open House/Silent Auction at the Library. I was in charge of decorating… and true to form… at the last minute, I’ve been trying to finish up some tree decorations for our “Scandinavian” tree. I made dala horses, well, *MY* version of dala horses. They are typically red. Mine are blue. And white….

Here’s another project. The idea is from a Girl Scout friend of mine.  She keeps all the corks from her wine… and actually makes a *cork* board from them.  I had to ask for donations to get enough corks.  Maybe I should up my wine intake! I’ve planned to do this one a long time,…

Let’s Listen

Posted on November 26, 2011April 1, 2015

It seems like this has become a DIY blog of late… But between cookingbakingcleaning and cleaningbakingcooking, I have had time to play with some ideas that have been simmering for a while! Finally… after almost a year of owning a shadowbox… I managed to create a display for the Antlers Quartet… My grandparents’ original records,…

I Forget

Posted on November 22, 2011April 1, 2015

Lest you think I’ve been sitting here in the house, watching soap operas and baking bread all day…  talking to Toria for hours through our iPad2s’ Facetime (what a wonderful invention, Mr. Jobs and team)… You’d be (partially) wrong! I have a slew of projects I’ve been working on! First of all… I finished Toria’s…

Baby Blankets

Posted on October 23, 2011October 26, 2014

Victoria bought the fabric and designed the look, but *I* made her baby quilts!  I have one completely finished… as of this afternoon! I did some handquilting on it… “caterpillar tracks” squiggles in a huge X across the green squares… and then in a diamond shape through the colored squares. The back is blue flannel….

Still A Secret

Posted on August 25, 2011October 16, 2013

A very special young couple were married a few weeks ago.   I didn’t go to the wedding, and I bought them a few gifts…   but…   you know me…   I like getting *personal*!   I researched their registry… and then decided on this.     The dishes are actually more brown than…

Soapy Smile

Posted on August 4, 2011January 19, 2015

I’ve been meaning to share something I did a few weeks ago… One of my pet peeves is laundry detergent.  Don’t ask me how I got this way, but it always seems to be a fight to find what I want for the price I want to pay.  Unless I manage a 4 hour trip…

Carol, Wyoming rancher

Since 2008, I’ve kept this photographic journal of life on our working Wyoming ranch.  I share ranch work, my family, crafts and DIY, my English Shepherds, Bravo and Indy, and a love for this land.  Enjoy this red dirt country!
