New Blog

I'm gonna make a new blog for a fresh start.
Now with my father-in-law dying on April 24th, I think I need a change.
Now off to figure out how to start the new one.
I'll be back.

Our buddy the Beaver

We have a beaver living on the property.
He seems determined to take a tree down.
That is what they do.
Look at the teeth marks on there.
He swims around along the creek and stops in for a snack.

Why?

Headed out this morning and noticed two Sheriff's vehicles next door. Just thought the owner might have evicted his tenants like he had talked about one day.
Came home this evening to find out that the tenants heard the owners dog barking in the barn, which is where he and his dog where lived They talked to another neighbor and decided to break a window to get to her. When they did, they discovered the owner, my neighbor, had hung himself.
I am in shock...don't know how I feel really. He was a sweet man who was just trying to get along in life.
I'll miss him.

My art sold

Home is Where You hang your Heart
a cloth crow in a polymer clay nest.

Love Bus

I donated two 6x6 pieces to Oregon Crafted's fundraiser for their new studio in town. They have others in Oregon, this is in Eugene, anyway, I went in to look at all the donated pieces and found out that mine sold already!
So cool and fun.

A tag book swap

MaryAnn at Follow Your Bliss is hosting a Spring Tag Book Swap.
The sign ups are until March 15.

Identification time

This fella or little lady was discovered in our slate pile this evening.
Can anyone identify this snake?
He has a creamy or yellow belly and slithers.
He's about ten inches long.
He is on the Eastern side of the Coastal range of Western Oregon.

EEK!!!

I joined a charm swap

Michelle at Faerie Dust Dreams is hosting an Alice in Wonderland Charm Swap.
She still has some available spots if you are interested.

I'm back!

I'm able to post now, but too late for the OWOH event.
I will do a giveaway soon to make up for it!
A huge thanks to my sweet baby girl for posting when I couldn't!

A WARM WINTER

-a note from craftyhala's daughter-

she will not be posting for awhile, and oh no! that means she won't be taking part in OWOH.
