If you haven’t been here long, you probably never got to meet Elsa. I’m really sorry for you. She was sweetness and grace, loving and quiet (most of the time). It’s been six years today that I lost her. The post I wrote about her passing is one of my favorites because it tells of…
Wordless Wednesday – “Red Dirt Dog”
Red Dirt Dog
The Newest
One thing about sitting at a table at a trade show all day… I got to finish up and create my newest batch of spoons.
Ag Days
Once again, it was time for the local WESTI Ag Days in Worland. If you remember, I was a speaker here last year, right before Vernon and I took our vacation to San Francisco. This time I wasn’t a speaker, but I had a few spoons, and jewelry, and photos, and paintings, and calendars for…
Finger Crochet
I was thinking about teaching the After the Bell kids who I work with about crocheting. Then I thought, well, let’s see if there’s an easier way to teach crochet to young kids that don’t have great hand-eye coordination. So… somewhere along the line, I found finger crochet. Basically, instead of using a crochet hook,…
Walk
Finally, I felt good enough and it warmed up enough that Eden and I could go for a walk! I honestly don’t think there’s a better way for me to feel *normal*.
Some Bunny
While the guys trudge out every morning to feed their different bunches of cattle, I sit in my house, hands warmed by my first cup of coffee. At single digit temperatures, I’m happy to take my time waking up to meet the crisp morning. I’m sure it would be better for me to go find…
#TBT: New Highway
So strange to look through old photos and realize the road you drive on daily, (without thinking about it, accepting its presence) was actually built not that long ago. Well, duh. I mean, you know it when you think about it… but still… it’s fun to see some highway construction photos… And the view I’ve…
Wordless Wednesday : “Time Machine”
Time Machine
Belly Deep
The other day, Vernon helped the neighbors bring in their cows. It was one of the days that it rained… on top of snow… creating a slippery, sloppy mess! It was cold and foggy, with a wind chill increased because they were riding four wheelers instead of horses. Vernon is now the proud owner of…
Fog
I’m sorry, this round of germ warfare is lasting forever. Last Friday it started and I’ve been in a relative non-moving fog ever since. I felt a bit better yesterday, so I thought I’d make a good dinner for Vernon, who has been politely living off his supply of frozen food… of course, we are…
Last One Started
As I recover from the latest bout of grandchildren based germ warfare… and they win every time, by the way… I started on Reagan’s Christmas stocking. Yes, I’m late… don’t tell her! Oh, it needs sparkle… and… more… but hey, the last grandchild now can catch up to the other seven!
