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…

What a grey and drizzly day! Rain has moved into the cowboy state once again… lending itself to thoughts of fires in woodstoves and projects to wrap up. I chose from a few today… cleaning the house, that perpetual beast that looms over my shoulder constantly… working on the 2015 Red Dirt Calendar… and spending…
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…
Worm Pills for Children
In between working and riding and fighting to create the Powwow Video… I have been able to sneak out to my studio! While I’m still in search of my map of Girl Scout National Center West (anyone have a spare to donate? 😉 ), so my map tabletop is at a standstill, I decided to…
Ideas
I spent most of the day out in my studio. I didn’t get that much done, but it SEEMS like I was working the entire time! I have a few people who might come for a visit… and I was hoping to have the studio as an option for those who wanted a bit more…
YIPPPEEEEEEEE!
It took us until 3:30 in the afternoon, but a carpenter friend and I finally accomplished one of my goals! The ceiling in the studio is UP. It needs paint, it needs trim, it is NOT finished, but I’m celebrating that it is UP! He put them up differently than I had planned, so where…
Decisions. Decisions.
Done with insulation! Yippee! It was much easier handling smaller pieces… why didn’t I do that before??? Next project just may be finishing the door tops on my shelves… If I get them screwed in place, I can walk on them instead of fighting my ladder when I hang my ceiling osb. Here they are……
Getting Closer
Well, it was back to the Good Ol’ Art Studio Project the other day… I worked a bit with some chinking… some cleaning… some organization… but best of all… I managed to get some insulation up! Just about ready for some ceiling osb now… The tallest side still needs to be insulated, but I may…
Wowza
OK. I took the morning and finished those two boards! That wall is done! The boards were workarounds existing crooked boards, so there was a lot of crawling up the ladder, fitting, sketching, crawling down, sawing, sanding, grinding, then going back up and re-fitting. I then spent time sawing up scrap wood so it’d fit…
Artistic Wall
I did it. 97% of the wall is complete! There are two boards, both of which need lots of fitting and finishing, and when they’re installed, the wall will be finished! (No, not talking trim or window trim or shelves, just WALL!) But this, this opens the door for those shelves that I have in…
Deer Crossing
I spent most of my day either cleaning and picking up my house or sneaking out to work in my studio. I only have the boards above the big window to install! I also bought a truckload of good plastic tubs to keep my crafts in, hopefully they’ll be much more mouse-proof than my cardboard…
