I am so glad that people are enjoying time with their families and in the gardens. There are little blessings all around us!

Oh my thank you so much!

@flowerbug - I love that beautiful little stove in the photo - do you have any closeups of it and what brand/model it is?

Such good news from everyone, and such gratitude for even the little things. Keep it coming! Please feel free to share any time. Sprouts, haircuts, blooms, and positive videos are all wonderful things to think about- let's not get weighed down by all that's going on.

There's alot going on right now in the world - sometimes it just seems easier to slip into thinking about the negative. Let's count our blessings in the ramblings section, and turn our minds to the good things in life. If something good happened to you today, share it here! From big blessings of...

Good thing to be canning all those potatoes! (Raining here - hoping to do some writing or indoor crafting? Best time to clean house and tidy up)

I'll enter for the next go around. I made a buckskin bag last year, but here's v.2! Proud to say it turned out much better- more flexible. Can't believe this started in a bucket with other raw hides. Buckskin bag w/antler button (W.B. on the side for Wolf Branch). Did I mention, I love the...

That is hilarious @frustratedearthmother

Thank you so much folks! Was really proud of the little buckskin pony toy

Thank you so much for the kind words. And what wonderful children! =D Everyone have a safe, healthy, wonderful weekend.

Picked up some hides at the end of deer season and processed/tanned into buckskin. Made this "Buckskin Pony" today which was the first honest attempt I've made at something like a toy. Stuffed, and has fringes for mane and tail. I'm proud of how it turned out!

@CrealCritter - They're pretty easy to work with, I'm not that experienced but I've made a messanger-style bag and a buckskin stocking. I've made some deer hide hand muffs and arrow quivers too. I want to try making some center seam moccasins from this year's haul. @Chic Rustler - Highly...

Hi folks, I have a few pieces of buckskin we are trying to get sold that came from this past year's deer hunt- not sure if there would be interest but can't hurt to try. I have not yet smoked them, but the hard work has already been done and they're tanned up and ready to go. $80 a piece...

Well, may not be the "real thing" but still happy with it nonetheless.

Sorry for the late reply! @YourRabbitGirl - We get a fair amount of snakes throughout the year, so this won't be the end of tanning them for me. However, the first of every kind of critter we've tanned will be hung up in our cabin, so this hide will be tacked up. Any future ones however will...
