I can’t help it! I HAVE to show you the newest addition to my studio! This chair and couch have been stored for years… they aren’t anything very special… a wooden frame, fairly disgusting cushions. But I have kept my eyes open and sure enough… I found cushions I wanted. Some with just the right…

Studio Video
All right! You asked for it, you got it! Here’s the tour of my studio as it is… I’ve been working on this building since 2009, obviously not consistently! I have dubbed it Sundog Studio, partly because one of my very first posts EVER on this blog was about a sundog… and because of a…
Studio Update
I was recently asked about my studio again… and if I could give a tour… so I filmed three today! The first two were too long, with too many details, so I finally shortened it to about 5 minutes! I was ready to start working on the movie, when the Denver Broncos started playing and…
We Can
How so many things affect us as we grow… multiple friends, our communities, a world of activities… As life goes on, the multiple distractions are whittled down, baring those true friends, the support of your close circle around you, and those activities that are special. I’m reminded of this every year by the short visit…
Paint Project
Fall is definitely in the air… nights are cool enough that my window fan is TOO cool by morning, hence another blanket on the bed. September will be a busy month, cow work is coming up, my annual trip to the Wyoming Library Association meeting in Cheyenne, plus a fun day or two planned as…
Top Bar Hive Refurbished
My new bees will be coming Thursday (maybe… a blizzard is predicted for tomorrow, so we’ll see if that slows him down). Newbees, happy dance! Newbies! La la la… So, I’m refurbishing Messopotamia, my secondhand top bar hive… and since it’s all pretty now, I think I’ll have to rename it! There were holes in…
Workbench
Well, remember I told you I hauled my tools up to the garage from my studio? There was no where to put them! Argh! Long ago, I had Daniel cut some logs to be legs for a workbench and they still were in the garage. There was also the white countertop I thought I was…
Name My Dream
September of 2009. My… how long ago that was! I had a dream. I dreamed an old cabin turned chicken coop could be emptied of junk and remade into My Space. I went into this project with enthusiasm, hauling away pipe and old gas tanks and boards and tin. Ripping down chicken wire. Powerwashing the…
Progress
I’m not going to do the Q&A tonight, so take the time to send me one more question… **** I have been working on some minor (and one not so minor) projects when I can… I decided my front door, well, it’s NOT my FRONT door… Country people rarely use their FRONT door because it…
Flash
It was a simply gorgeous day here today… and I took it for myself! The “I-should-be-doing”s got shoved aside and I wandered out to my studio. With winter coming on, my main priority has to be sealing up gaps… and, boy, does the studio have gaps! The main culprit is my dutch door. I decided…
Some Creativity
I’ve been working on a new video… hopefully with less uploading trauma than the last one! So for tonight’s quick pic… I thought I’d make you jealous. The view from my studio this evening… A fingernail moon ornamented the sky just barely out of view, I did catch it in other photos, but still preferred…
Pay Backs
All summer. ALL SUMMER! I’ve been wanting someone to help me hang my Wyoming map that will serve as a shade for my large window in my studio… We’ve discussed methods and brackets and wood vs. metal… But I cornered Brandon… and I spent a bit helping him repair a water tank, and so, he…
