A Cowboy’s Wife

It’s been a while since I’ve showed off my husband’s work, mostly due to him not building anything lately but he had this one pair of spurs to build.  This one pair that he was dreading because he doesn’t really take orders for Chihuahua spurs ’cause, well, they’re sort of a pain to build.  I [...]

We’ve lived here at this house for almost a year and have never moved my cowboy’s shop over. He would simply drive back and forth. We finally started moving his stuff over and with a little muscle, was able to get it all set up today. The spur maker is probably taking orders. I [...]

It was really exciting when I found out I won some Stetson Jeans awhile back on Twitter, especially because I had no idea they even made them but with Stetson’s reputable track record, I was thrilled at the chance to try them out.   Then I got the box, and guess what? They sent me some [...]

We decorate our house with junk mostly but several pieces are real cowboy gear that has been retired.  When I say junk, I mean old things like whiskey jugs and gas cans and pieces of branded barn wood.  We have this shelf over the fireplace and it’s pretty much the focal point of the house [...]

I haven’t posted a picture of anything my husband’s built lately but we recently listed the cowboy spurs so I thought I’d share with ya!  They feature a mermaid on one side and two hearts on the other.  They end on January 11th in case you know someone interested!

It’s funny really.  People assume that I’m a cowgirl because my husband is a cowboy but I assure you that’s not the case at all.  However, I do wear boots to lots of places but not the fancy, dressy boots…I wear boots that are comfortable.  So, since I’m asked on many occasions what kind of [...]

Not so wordless but my man made this necklace pendant for my swap partner during the local & fair trade swap.  He put her initials.  It’s the first one he’s ever made.  I thought he did good.

If you don’t already know, my husband builds spurs.  Lots of them here lately along with bits and buckles.  Well I guess his talent is rubbing off on my both of my sons because they have been busy.
Let’s take a look at my oldest son’s work first.  He was dying to make his own pair [...]

When my husband makes these bits and spurs, all I can think about it where they’ll end up.  Who’s gonna have them, what will they do with them??  He works so hard on them that I hope who ever ends up owning them appreciates them some.
Anyways, I don’t feel like blogging…..just gonna leave you with [...]

I’ve got a new store coming soon and one section will be devoted to my husband’s trade of bit and spur making.  It won’t be nothin’ fancy but it will be a page people can go to if they want to order something.  I’m trying to talk him [...]

My husband’s trade for builing bits, spurs, and buckles has come in quite handy since our job loss.  He just finished up 4 pairs of spurs for a trader fello and has been making a few buckles in-between.
I thought I’d share the buckles with you today because they are currently for sale at ebay!  We’ve [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, my husband brought home 2 colts.  They need halter breaking, which is where Tyler comes in.  They’re just yearlings and have never been touched and sure enough haven’t had anything put on them before. 
For those who have no clue what halter breakin’ is….it’s basically getting the horse used to having a rope [...]

As I mentioned earlier, my husband when to Colorado to see our good friend Jayson Jones.  He went to study under Jayson who happens to be a bit and spur maker, and a very good one at that.  He does beautiful work and has shared his spur making knowledge with my husband and has gone [...]

A cowboy can’t do his job without a saddle.  It’s a cowboy’s most beloved possession and cowboys have no problem spending thousands on one of these babies!  The saddle shown here is one of my husbands (yes, he has more than 1 and no, I didn’t mean I had more than 1 husband..lol).  This a [...]

My husband has come a long way from his first bit to this one.  This bit is stamped RF 03 and it’s my favorite of the 3 so far.  It’s all handmade of course, silver mounted, and hand engraved.  I think the copper centers on the flowers really make it look nice:)
I’m so proud…currently this [...]
