Crafty

Posted on January 31, 2022January 31, 2022

I tried to work more on Megan’s table today. I cranked up two little heaters and went to burning. After an hour of huddling in my studio at 25 degrees and a howling wind outside, I gave up. While my studio seems snug, it’s draftiness is quite apparent when the wind is blowing. I retreated…

Progress and Pause

Posted on January 25, 2022January 25, 2022

While the guys stay busy feeding cows and bulls, fixing fence, repairing machinery, or doing paperwork, I’m left to my own devices. That means I fill my days with cleaning on my house, doing laundry, taking Bravo for a spin out and about, and crafting. If I get going on crafting, sometimes the first three…

Unique Table

Posted on January 23, 2022January 23, 2022

I lose track, but somewhere along the way, I started working on a table for Megan. It’s had an adventurous life, and we thought we could give it a start for a new one. Step One was me woodburning sunflowers onto its stained, water damaged, but mainly good top. At this point, I *think* I’m…

Five Down

Posted on December 17, 2021December 17, 2021

Five down. Three to go. Lorelei just needs the leather poppers and the links to connect onto a bit and her reins will be finished. I’ve already started Lacee’s set. Then comes Mathew and Reagan. Maybe I’ll be done by spring! (plus I get bonus points because Tess got some too…)

Inky

Posted on October 30, 2021October 30, 2021

I probably shouldn’t have. I’ve talked myself out of it for over a year. But I finally gave in. I bought myself some more craft supplies! Like I need more crafts to do… Alcohol ink. You can use them many different ways… but since I have some plain white dollar store mugs, plates and teapots…

T-shirt Bags

Posted on October 19, 2021October 19, 2021

I found a quick craft that’s easy and fast and, even better, is another use for old tshirts. I bought a box of tshirts from the thrift store to make my potholder rugs, but you need to use all of one size. My frame is made for xl shirts, so anything smaller, I’ve had to…

Artful Photography

Posted on September 28, 2021September 28, 2021

Last Thursday I zipped over to Worland after work to attend a free photography class at the new library. Sponsored by Lifetime Arts, with support from Hahnemuhle Fine Art, the teacher is award winning artist, Barrie Lynn Bryant. The class is entitled, “Accessible, Meaningful, and Purposeful Photography” It goes for eight weeks and I think…

Wand

Posted on September 20, 2021September 20, 2021

This time of year, I don’t accomplish much in the way of crafting. But today was cold and cloudy and it even showered briefly a time or two. It was difficult to keep from pulling out something besides dishes, cooking, and laundry to do! It reminded me that I *had* taken the time to craft…

Finished my Longmire auction donation… If you’re a fan of the Longmire mystery series by Craig Johnson, you should be able to find something either from the book covers or from the stories on this plaque. It is 5”x 5” x 1/4” woodburned with attached hanger. Natural wood, no staining, protected with sealer. My garden…

Summer Crafts

Posted on August 15, 2021August 15, 2021

A little crafting… I generally don’t do much crafting in the summer, it seems like there are other things calling for my attention. However, the wedding yesterday called for a present. Part of it was a set of four stemless wine glasses that I etched with their brand. Their brand is the “quarter circle J…
