I taught a pysanky class at the Ten Sleep Library last night, came home and went to bed… laid there and thought, “I didn’t blog!”. I was too tired, so here I am this morning. A live video can be found on the Ten Sleep Library Facebook page if you’re so inclined.

I’ve Been Busy
What do ranchers do in their spare time? Craft! I know I’ve shared some of these, but I made a video of all my latest…
Earrings
Need to finish some still… and a couple of the larger ones I’m turning into necklaces (not pictured). All woodburned with acrylic paint, some with wood stain.
Meanwhile…
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.
Pyrography Plaques
Finished…
Smear
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
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

Delivery
Today we took delivery of two sheds. We’ve wanted to expand our calving shed and finally figured out that two custom sheds and some continuous fence, ought to give us some more room. Yes, we could have built them ourselves, but the time saved of buying them, seemed to be the best option. All we…
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…
Corn Feeder
We decided this winter we would feed ear corn to the cows for supplemental feed. To do that easily and in a timely manner, you need a corn feeder. This spring, when we went to the Black Hills Stock Show, Vernon checked out a couple of feeders, and decided they’d be easy enough to make….
