We have been working still on cleaning the property of previous owners junk. We did however get some windows in. Now I am trying to decide what color to paint the building. In this picture I am taking down the fencing around an old chicken coop. Cutting out the trees and cutting the wire from the wood supports, what a job. Found another family of mice. Gave them their eviction notice.

the girls that live on our farm


Cindy and Tabby are some big girls Belgium Beauty's, Today they were out pulling their sleigh. We bought a shower stall at menards and took it out to the barn. We just saw them as they were coming in from their work out.

Me and my husband Jeff will be working on this project together. He is a Mason, good thing since this building is block. Lots of junk

cleaning out the building that will be my new studio

It is amazing how much stuff aka Junk a person can collect. I myself should not talk, 2garages, now a barn and a house full of treasures. It is all together different however when you have to clean out someone elses junk to start your project. Since January 13 the day we officially acquired our new land and buildings we have been Burning and hauling. Since the average temp has been 1 degrees many layers are necessary just to keep warm enough to last 3-4 hours. I can not wait for spring.
We have found a few treasures, some old yokes they used for horses and some vegetable forms you put around cucumbers to make faces. We have also found the remains of a large rat family. May they rest in Peace.

New project : The enchanted glen where fairy's dwell


My husband and I are starting a new project, We are buying a farmette just a little way out of town . The house is a mess so we will be starting over, jacking up, digging a basement and gutting out. While we wait for the Wisconsin winter to be over we are going to start on one of the out buildings, converting it to a Studio. This will double my room. The building is 35' by 41'. It just so happens that my uncle knocked down one of his barns. The barn is over 150yrs old, so for the last two days we have been hauling barn beams to the new property. Wow are they heavy.

been busy with life and I feel like I'm writing to myself. My house was in the garden walk this summer. Six houses are featured we had 900 people go through so that was a good time. We are also up for an award for home improvement of a home 90 years or older. Youngest daughter started modeling so I have also been busy styling wardrobe hair and make up for her. I go on all her shoots and boy have we met some dandy's all of which would like her naked and then some.
