I was hoping to get out this weekend but the snow and road conditions have turned this into a Netflix and Clean the House kinda weekend. Any minute now I am going to start cleaning...
Here are some photos that I took in the Oyen area 3 weeks ago. No story, just some abandoned homesteads. I love this one, it still looks strong and sturdy:
The next homestead is looking a bit worse for wear and the barn has collapsed.
Besides being a mom, working part time, exploring, and blogging, I have decided this year I will devote more time to being healthier and to some creative projects. The main one being Ingrained Images. I take my photos, or ones someone gives me, and I transfer them to wood. It takes a bit of time but I love how they turn out. I recently dropped off some stock to a new store, and am working on restocking now for another store and some upcoming markets. I also took a beginner knitting class last weekend and am finding it very frustrating, I don't think knitting is for me but I will at least finish the class and hopefully have a hat at some point.
Here are some of my Ingrained Images!
I hope you enjoyed the photos and are enjoying your weekend, hopefully with less snow, unless you like the snow! What is everyone else doing this weekend?
I am on Instagram:

We went to see the movie Red Sparrow. It is good but too long!
ReplyDeleteYour Ingrained pieces are gorgeous! I love the last one especially.
Hi Marie, I thought it looked interesting, maybe one to rent when it comes out. Thank you!
DeleteLovely shots!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fairly quiet weekend here.
Thanks William! I don't mind a quiet weekend, I know it'll be busy busy once the weather is better and Spring comes!
DeleteHaha you sound just like me, all geared up to start cleaning... & then I get to blogging & commenting...& cleaning starts over an hour later! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love your ingrained images! Wishing you every success! Have you thought of selling on Etsy?
Hi Christine, still haven't done much cleaning lol...I always have Sunday! Funny, I opened an Etsy account last week but have not uploaded anything yet. I am going to work on that too.
DeleteGreat shots and I love the ingrained pieces, they are lovely and quite unique. I had a few of my photos printed on metal a few years ago and love them.
ReplyDeleteI've been spending this weekend reading. Went to the store to get some fruit and milk. That's all the excitement for today. I'll be happy when all the weather issues we are having are gone. Have a wonderful day, Jenn/
Hi Bill! Yes I have seen some photos on metal and they look fantastic! Reading is great, I have a few local history books on the go at the moment and read a few pages in between other things. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteI really like your ingrained images of the old school & swings, and the outhouse & tree.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, the old school is one of the first schools I came across that started my addiction to exploring, the outhouse is from a ghost town in southern AB. Both neat places!
Deletepretty art
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam, I like to always have something creative on the go. I don't think knitting will make the cut...I am not good at it lol.
DeleteWith some of the shots you've been taking, an extra hat might be good! - lol
ReplyDeleteI love the transferred images! Beautiful stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mr. Sable! I need to take some different photos, not everyone is into abandoned and old stuff lol. Weird.
DeleteI love photos taken in winter light...especially the fourth photo where the weathered orange wood of the house contrasts boldly with the solid blue sky. Nice stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou know that every once in a while when housework seems a big chore...if you keep the lights dim and close the blinds it's difficult to see the dust on the furniture and floors...lol.
Thanks Michael, I liked the colour on that house too.
DeleteLOL good housekeeping tip!
