This was first published December 18, 2012! I really think we need another… it’s been a while, ladies! For years… and years… the women of the Upper Nowood have held a Christmas party. Nowood Creek runs north through this area passing through or near many of our places. If we’re not on the Nowood, chances…

Wordless Wednesday: Frosted Reflection

Another One
I’m blaming the National Finals Rodeo. After supper, I’ve been planting myself on the couch and watching it on RFD-TV. My daytime plans about “crafting all day with no guilt” never seem to appear. Last week, I did manage to squeak out some keychains, and a snowman, and the cutest little fox… Hopefully, tomorrow, I’ll…

The Cutest
Was lucky enough to get a root canal today, ending a partially horrible weekend… thanks to my great dentist, I’m feeling much better and, hey… my calendars are here and my little Christmas note cards came in, too! As an aside, thanks to a photo from Megan, I actually am *IN* my own calendar for…

Craig
It’s a Christmas tradition… author Craig Johnson comes to the Ten Sleep Library and reads his Christmas themed short story. Not only did we have cookies provided by the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library, we also served a hot cocoa bar. Pick your favorite “topping” to put in your hot chocolate… I didn’t even…

Willing to Trade
I tried to do this idea I’ve had for years. It involves sewing, however, and sewing is nothing for me but a pain in the you-know-what! I always think it’s going to be quick and easy, but I battle with my machine soooo much, I get frustrated. I grew up in a household where we…

Snowflakes!
My new favorite craft? Making snowflakes from small brown lunch bags! I made a white bag one last year, but found the white snowflake on the white walls of the library didn’t show up. Switching to brown made a ton of difference. The ones I made for the library can be seen in the windows….

#TBT: For Jan, v.2.0
This was first posted December 11, 2012. <giggle> I *told* her I’d dedicate this blog to her… so Jan, here ’tis! While on the phone with a Dear Friend of mine, I was multi-tasking, telling her what I was making… she, giving me her version… Let me back up a bit. I’d seen these beautiful…

New Employee?
Meant to have craft project photos done to share… but Vernon and I sat down to watch a movie tonight. It totally made me forget tonight’s plans. I keep managing to miss the riding, gathering, and loading critters… so there’s no ranch type photos either. Guess you’ll just have to be satisfied with pictures of…

Open House and Silent Auction
Whew. That was fun. Over 130 items. From sourdough bowls/starter/whisk/recipes to tree ornaments, from crystal wine glasses to lap quilts, from aprons to a wooden rocking horse, there was something for everyone. I believe there were over 70 bidders. The cookies and goodies were delicious. It was fun and festive and warm! I think this…

One Thing
Trying to get ready for this… But spending part of the day doing this… I have some crafts to share… but those will come later. One thing at a time!
