Creative Everyday Challenge Weekly Check-In While T.H. and I were wandering around Salida, Colorado enjoying the cool weather, I discovered another set of vintage quilt blocks . They were a bit more expensive than the $18 I paid in Wichita. They were $40 (started at $55) which was do-able. However, they were slightly yellowed with […]

This little white dog and I have much in common. Misti and I are both women of a certain age. We want to help but mostly we want everyone to do things our way. We arrive uninvited and try to rearrange situations to suit ourselves. We are offended when the very people we are trying […]

I commissioned the designers of 99Designs to design me a logo. I’ve never done anything like this before. It was a leap of faith. It was scary and fun. I want to know what you all think. I’m developing my blog into a new website and hopefully a platform to write, tell stories, and eventually […]

I know I’ve said this before. But this may very well be my favorite project to date. In reality I’m just finishing a project started by someone else. I regularly breeze through my favorite antique mall in Wichita looking for vintage textiles and sewing notions. I spotted this stack of quilt blocks for $18. There […]

Until recently this spiritual discipline has been solely dedicated to T.H. since he is […]

I’ve discovered more people read my blog when I put a cute picture of Puncher at the top. July, the month of saddling by the lights of the 4-Wheeler. Gathering cattle at sunup. […]

My blogging buddy Suzanne at Fairchild Farmgirl asked me to write a guest post for her weekly series: CRAZY MONDAYS, MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS IN AGRICULTURE (Click above and you will fly there) There are so many to choose from after 20 years in the saddle, but one stands out in my memory. Etched in shame, […]

My horse shoer broke up with me yesterday. I’m really busted up about it. In fact, I’m devastated. If I still drank, I’d be drunk right now. This is the most upsetting break up I’ve ever experienced.And I’ve been married three times. (My perspective may be off slightly due to all that drinking) It’s not like I’m […]

BLUE is the theme for Creative Everyday Challenge 2011 month of July. I took an Artist’s Date to Wichita last Saturday. I found a delicious new (to me) fabric shoppe in the Delano District where I spent two hours and a few hundred dollars re-supplying my stash. The ladies at Material Girls Quilt Shoppe helped me find the backing […]
