One of my squares that I wood burned seemed to lend itself to a metallic look. I happened to have some metallic colored pencils, so I took a chance, and colored the square. At this point I was happy. Of course, I thought it needed to be sealed, but thought stain would be too dark….

In Progress
Working on some wood burning projects lately… They’ll be painted and stained, but here they are in progress.
Stocking Stuffer
What, you may ask, is that? There’s a locking carabiner on one end, a short length of knotted paracord with a leather tag (including initials), and then a midshipman’s knot on the other end. What do you use it for? Well, since none of my grandkids read my blog, I can safely show you this…
It’s There
Well, I never got to hang my witch decoration for Halloween… remember her? You can see her HERE. I was doubly determined, then, that I should hang a wreath for Christmas. We usually are gifted a natural wreath from a hunter who owns a greenhouse in Wisconsin… but it hadn’t arrived yet. I have three…
Worland Library Christmas
The weather has been holding and we’ve had some nice days, the sun is still strong and if the wind stays still, it can be quite pleasant. The guys are going in different directions… checking the pipeline for the cows, graveling some large stretches of road, paperwork, and designing some new pens and more corral…
Bear Board
Progress on the bear. Drilling holes for the cribbage board back and wood staining are left to do…
Simple Stones
I spent the day trying to find my house underneath all my junk. Clean clothes, dirty dishes, cardboard boxes saved to use for stencils, and piles of junk mail. Once I got my kitchen clean, I turned around and made a dessert to go with supper. Well, the kitchen was clean for half an hour……
Bear Burn
Yes, I should only be braiding reins. Yes, I should just finish painting up the rocks I have collected. No, I probably should not have started a wood burning project… but, I did. Frigid days are perfect for indoor crafting! This little guy belonged to a friend… and he was looking a tad bit rough….
Reins For Everyone!
Somehow, along the way… I decided that I would make a set of braided reins for each grandchild. My thought was that when they grew up, they would each have a full sized set of reins and say, “My grandmother made these reins for me!” I decided I better get myself in gear and complete…
Back To It
You may recall I talked about potholder rugs back in early February, back before the world stumbled. Well, I’m back at them! I made one for my sister… This one I called the Continental… it reminds me of the colors of the Continental Army, navy blue, tan, and white with red accents. I traded this…
Tables
OK, I have a thing for tables. I love them. I have more than I need. But when Megan asked if I wanted a cute little end table, of course I said yes. It was plain. Modern. It still had stubborn stickers on it. Piece A. Piece B. Once I started sanding on it, I…
