Kinda Cute
Well, he’s kinda cute! I’m trying to come up with some donations for our Library Silent Auction. This little trinket tray is the first.
Suggested Donation
Met with some of the nicest ladies today in order to make journals. The Friends of the Ten Sleep Library upcycle journals from old books as a fundraiser. We take donated, unwanted books, cut them apart, and save a few pages. Then we add assorted papers cut to size. We have boxes of donated scrapbooking…
Poster Style
I wanted to share some of my fun little posters I’ve been making lately. I kind of started playing around because we had talked about a new sticker at the library to give to people who donate. I’ve been a fan of the national park posters… or vintage travel posters. These balsamroot flowers weren’t quite…
Chinky Dink
Chinks are short chaps. Usually, they just cover the top half of your leg, though they can be almost as long as full length chaps. Full length chaps are less popular around here, though I still have my old pair. As we were riding the other day, we made a comment that Reagan needed a…
Count This
I recently grabbed eight metal folding chairs for free. We’re often looking for extra seating at brandings or other get-togethers. I always look at that dirty tan color and just… bleh… They’re so ugly! I decided to have some fun. With no plan other than to use up my leftover cans of spray paint, I…
Blanket Chest
I’ve started woodburning a large blanket chest. This thing is huge and takes up a fair amount of space in my mudroom. It needs to go away… as do most of my crafty things… I’m trying to figure out how to sell items… just as soon as I finish them!

In Good Time!
I love it when I complete a project in good time! My first version of a wool saddle pad took me over a year to make, neglected, however, over the summer months. This one took me right at a month! Daniel’s birthday present/just because present is done. I gave it to him asap because we…
Yes, Sir, Yes, Sir, Three Bags Full
I think I swore I’d never make another one. Yet, here I go again. While contemplating what we were going to buy Daniel for his birthday, I proposed a new saddle pad. In the back of my mind, I thought, I *do * have all that wool downstairs still… Did I have the latchhook canvas?…
Birthday Presents
I get to share a couple of presents I’ve made recently… for my friend that loves sunflowers.
Brightening the Day
A cold, grey day… so I decided to brighten it up! Light switch covers… After I spray this with an acrylic coat, I’ll remove the bucking horse sticker, which will show white underneath. There is red, orange, and golden yellow paintbrush all on this mug…
