Meanwhile…

Posted on March 14, 2021March 14, 2021

While the southern part of Wyoming received 2-3’, yes, FEET, of snow since yesterday… and then the wind blew… I sat here with simply overcast skies and a smidge of rain… and finished up some crafts. I made some earrings too. I’ll share those tomorrow.

Smear

Posted on January 23, 2021January 23, 2021

I decided to embrace the smear… Well, maybe I overdid it, but it’s hard to take a good picture at night under fluorescent lights! This one’s not quite finished, but it’s close! These little blocks are a kick to design, burn, and paint…

Find Beauty

Posted on January 19, 2021January 19, 2021

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….

Stocking Stuffer

Posted on December 15, 2020December 15, 2020

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

Posted on December 13, 2020December 13, 2020

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

Posted on November 21, 2020November 21, 2020

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…

Simple Stones

Posted on November 6, 2020November 6, 2020

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

Posted on October 26, 2020October 26, 2020

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….

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!
