An friend has asked my DH to refurbish this old rototiller. I say that with friends like that, he doesn't need any enemies. Of course DH can't resist a challenge, so he is working on it. It has a lot of issues.

Alberta's first black "settler" and legendary cowboy, John Ware's cabin. The original homestead is about 10 miles west of where I am, but the cabin was moved and restored at Dinosaur Park and is open to the public during the summer.

omg This is the first time I have ever done this. I don't think I can do it again if I tried. It will take me lots of practice before I can do it again, because I really don't know how I did it. I used some of Ravencajuns advice from the last time it was on here and I just tried to use some of debby_ab advice she just gave Joann. Even though I couldn't read what debby wrote on the side. Anyhow this is a picture of one of the rugs that I make. I had to hang it on my DD clothesline to get a picture. You can see how the rows are on the gray better than on the flowered material. It has approximately 160 rows on it. Now if only I can figure out how to get the pictures off of my camera I would feel really proud.

When I lived in Memphis there was a shop I bought a lot of my jewelry making supplies at, he would get big crates of the agate rocks various sizes. You could buy them whole and he would crack it open for you or he would saw them into slices of what ever thickness you wanted. I loved doing that because it was always such a surprise to see what the inside looked like. I still have lots of the slices. They are all so beautiful.
