<giggle> I *told* her I’d dedicate this blog to her… so Jan, here ’tis! While on the phone with a Dear Friend of mine, I was multi-tasking, telling her what I was making… she, giving me her version… Let me back up a bit. I’d seen these beautiful Christmas decorations… and they were SIMPLE. Food…

Library Silent Auction
Another fun Open House at the library… over 50 people attended… and we raised just over $1000! Yay! My little HoHoHo earned us $22, and my little jar of home-made vanilla extract scored $25! I shall NOT divulge how much I spent on other items, however! But I will tell you what they are. I…
Failure and Happiness
Well, poo. Tomorrow’s the library’s silent auction and I didn’t finish up everything I had planned. Too many ideas and not enough time! The project that has slowed me up the most is the photo transfer I wanted to do. Finding the right combination of gel medium, paper, printer, etc. has slowed the process way…
Surprise
Hmmm. I guess a How-To-Needle-Felt video should be forthcoming since so many of you are interested! I’ll see if I can get on that! This morning I spent figuring out my calendar… I had decided to NOT sell one to the public because of last year’s fiasco and trauma… but I figured I’d order some…
Canvas and Color
The craft of the day is… Wool needle felting. I snagged this plain little black wool bag at Hobby Lobby the other day. It looked like a small blank canvas waiting just for me! I threw some colorful roving in as well, and then my imagination took off… It was time for Megan’s birthday present……
Bids, Anyone?
I declare my first project done! Remember the little Ho Ho Ho that I’m re-doing? I started it here… then tonight I added some heavy sanding on the edges and darkened the edges and brushed lightly over the top to give an even more *vintage* look… The one in front isn’t done yet, but you…
Big and Small Wyoming
Sigh. Back home again. While I’m thrilled to be back online, I will miss those little boys and their antics, oh, yes, the parents, too… The twins are just beginning to walk, so life is definitely a Big Adventure! So… gee… where to start? I *had* planned to come home yesterday, but then found out…
Ho Ho
The next steps… With this old thick paper from the old books, it’s easy to cover the letters. I did have to do some ripping apart and readjusting. The only part I don’t like is the edges. I glued the paper down with Mod Podge, and took a piece of sandpaper to the edges, which…
A Little
If anyone would like buy me a franchise for a Hobby Lobby in Worland, I would love you for ever and ever and we would make TONS of money, because there is NO PLACE TO BUY CRAFTS IN THE BIG HORN BASIN! Oh, there’s a shop somewhere… maybe Cody? But not one that handles everything…
One Down
If I don’t get a project finished during the winter months… it’s probably not going to get done over the summer! At least those *hand-did* gifts… Like this one… Last year, Victoria found me the cutest Roy Rogers fabric while shopping for her twins’ quilt fabric. I was just going to put the two back…
Highlights
Getting organized for Thanksgiving, including cleaning and straightening up my house, occupied most of my day. Unknown to me, the guys moved the heifers from one field to another. Had I known, I would have helped… and of course, taken photos for you! As it was, the most excitement I saw was my washing machine! …
Ta-da!
This morning greeted me with this view… I made this up for tonight’s activity… Same with this one… Ta- da! **** October 6, 2011 Good Timing October 6, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – Sunshine Flows Into Trees October 6, 2009 Randomness and Cruisin’ October 6, 2008 Teach Me, Dally
