Hey! We spent the day in the great outdoors (although it was a little bit chilly) doing Cowboy Action Shooting.

I came in THIRD in the ladies' 49er division, which for the first time out and the first time ever shooting single action and a lever action rifle, weren't bad . . .

. . . somehow I don't think cowboys used a Weaver stance . . . but that's the best way for me to hit what I'm shooting at . . .

I did make some hair braid ties in the old style, and I have a Crow style beaded hatband on my hat (which is worn high crowned and flat brimmed the way the Northern Plains Indians wore them) but I have NOT finished HAND sewing my buckskin war shirt. THAT is going to take an awful lot of time, since I'm going to have to do four beaded strips for the shoulders and sleeves by hand (since nobody sells a ready-made Crow-style beaded strip, and they're rather distinctive). Plus, no way I'm cutting into real deerskin without making a first copy in (much cheaper) fake suede first. So, I figure I can work on it while watching TV, talking on the phone, waiting on folks, etc.

Good Sunday Morning everyone!

Cold here! We're supposed to get some snow, and it sure does look and feel like it. We're having a holiday get together at the barn tonight, hopefully we won't get caught in the storm.

AAM and Hair, love the pics!
