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! …
Warm Place
I made some minor adjustments to the chicken coop this morning… Though repairing the window might require the purchase of larger rolls of wire… The rest of the day, it seems, was spent in my kitchen. It was a drying kind of day. As in dehydrator. Cleaning my refrigerator, aka creating soup starter, occupied part…
Just Ducky
After I finished canning the last 5 pints of salsa for the year, and cleaning house, and looking for calendar photos… I headed outside for some fresh air. I drove up and examined the center pivot from close up… still no power… and a few other things left to do… but I must say it…
21 Pints and Disaster
Bleh. I have 21 pints of salsa and a disaster of a kitchen to clean… That was my day, how was yours? **** October 15, 2011 Oh, Gee (look, last year I was too tired to write, too!) October 15, 2010 The Bidding Starts NOW October 15, 2009 We Know Wapiti (boy, howdy, do we!)…
