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…
I Can’t See You
You know those people who say they couldn’t get along without technology? Without the internet, they’d go crazy? And you politely shake your head and agree, but secretly you’re rolling your eyes in the quiet of your own mind? Hmmmm… I almost fit that description yesterday and today! Victoria’s Internet is sporadic at best, and…
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…
Wordless Wednesday – “Winter Reflections”

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…
#436
Easily 4″ of snow this morning… and a slick highway… and a windshield wiper on the fritz. A wonderful start to the day! But, the remainder of the day was good… I simply decorated the library. This year, the tree is on our book table, so I climbed up and down on chairs and a ladder…
Raindrops
Raindrops on spruce trees and whiskers on puppies… Or something like that! Wyoming did its best to impersonate Seattle today. At least here it did. .23″ of moisture… most of it rain… though for a while it looked mighty Christmas-y out there! There’s snow on the ground, though my weather station doesn’t measure it or…
Supervisors
We loaded a few girls on the truck this morning. Time to say goodbye… Thanks, girls. Of course, the supervisors were there. (That’s Jazz, not Dally… she was inside, avoiding her father.) **** November 24, 2011 Thanksgiving November 24, 2010 Wordless Wednesday – “Frosty Frame” November 24, 2009 A Diet Tip for Thanksgiving Week November…
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…
