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…
Step Stool Needed
All summer, I’ve had this project on my list. Finally! I admit, it doesn’t look like much, but it will help me be a bit more organized. I have run out of room in my basement to store things since I expanded my pantry. What needed to move was my Christmas decorations. We have plenty…
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!
Vintage Cup
Playing with some vintage coffee cups…
Garden Walk
The sweet ladies from The First Church of the Nazarene continue to do the Jerri Burton Memorial Garden Walk in my mom’s honor. It’s very small, usually two or three gardens, and it’s not really advertised, usually attended only by members of the church. Well, July 9th was my mother’s birthday, and the garden walk…
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…
Gardening in Wyoming
Well, I had held off planting my tomatoes for quite a while… we’d had a few cold mornings later than usual, but I finally planted them. Here it is… two weeks later or so… and, son of a gun, it froze the other morning. The stems don’t really seem to be frozen, just the leaves……
