New Project

I think I'm going to find some fabric and try to make this skirt for my daughter.
I think I'll add pockets and a lining though. I'm excited!

I'm So Proud

My husband works hard and he really does amazing work.  I'm very proud of him for his latest project and I wanted to show it off. He did most of the design work and a lot of the building for Hanson's new charity website, Take The Walk.  Check it out!!!

Landfill Fossils

I found these fossils in some kind of shale at the landfill in Sand Springs.
If anyone knows what any of these are, I would love to know!





I thought this looked like a tooth or a claw - I don't think this is shale - I found it in a different area.

Crinoids in my Washer

Well, I've seen the Rocks In My Dryer Blog. This morning I found crinoids in my washer. My daughter must have been putting them in her pockets!

Oklahoma Fossils

My mom and I went fossil hunting during her visit from Virginia. We went to the Arkansas River, a landfill in Sand Springs and to a location on private property in Seminole County. We found lots of awesome stuff - I'm still waiting to have most of it identified, but it's all really cool! Here are some photos -
Seminole County - see all the Crinoid Stems?
My haul from Seminole Co.
I'm going to make my daughter a Crinoid Stem Necklace with these sections!
These are from the landfill - found in some kind of shale.

If anyone knows anything about fossils in OK and wants to help me ID some of mine let me know! I have an awesome one of a plant that I need to photograph. Plants are more rare than animals - they're destroyed more easily. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I'm pumped about it! Hooray for fossils!
