Bayou Poste & Craft

Bryce Eleanor on Hershey.  Her first horse show.  

All of the kids were adorable.  

B.E.'s category was walk/trot,

a good place for a seven-year-old

to compete in her first show.

I forgot my camera and had to steal this photo from Amelia.

After the show, Amelia and Chris came over and visited for a while.  

Amelia and Chris were going to a Kentucky Derby party...

so Amelia had made hats for her crew.

Bryce Eleanor decided that the wolf mask

needed a nose.  

She found one of my peat pots and showed me.

We cut it down a little,

and she painted it black.

Sadly, I didn't get a photo,
after we made the adjustment,

but B.E. was right.

The nose when painted and attached

made the mask MUCH better!

After Amelia and Chris left,

B.E. and I worked on little houses,

tiny animals who will live in them,

and B.E. sewed up the wolf tail

to go with her mask.

We didn't get finished painting the houses.

Bryce Eleanor wasn't as interested 

in painting the houses as

with working with the little animals.

She added air dry clay for 

ears and tails

and painted them.

I coated some pretty fabric

with a fabric stiffener,

then we cut out 3/4 circle shapes

for the roofs.

The solid colors roofs

are made from that Dollar Tree craft foam.

Now, for clean up

and getting ready to get back to my stuff.
