Feeling a bit more like I belong among the living today.
Still tired…But not as much…Hoping tomorrow will be better, I have to leave the house and what not.

There are deer parts in my freezer…& there will be more.
Although my deer parts are not the parts that everyone else is clamoring after…I’m gathering up the "leftovers."
I’m only hoping that come spring I’ll be able to manage doing what I have to do. *has a book* [Seems like I have a book for just about everything.]
What I have is the hide and brain. Come spring I’m going to make brain mush & stretch out the skin, scrape anything that may be lingering off, and the hair on the opposite side as well.
& then…Hopefully…Tan it into a beautiful piece of leather.
There are apparently two more hides on the way too. So yeah…Hopefully this works.
I need to gather some tools together…But I have until spring to manage that part of it…I need a scraper, and the materials to build my frame to stretch the hide out on.

Not much else going on…Can’t find Twinkies to save my life…Makes me sad. I may never have another Twinkie again. *pouts*

Think it’s time for another cup of tea…I need to replenish some of the teas…This will be the end of the store bought medicinal teas.

You will probably need more brains. And get ready for some serious work. *chuckles* Earlier I was boiling a deer antler and skull plate in the kitchen to remove the hide, skin, and hair so I can eventually put it in Leviathan’s tank for her to climb all over. 😀 Light of heart,

I am glad you’re feeling better! *shoos away any remaining ickies* Speaking of making things, *is making you something special for Yule* Hehehe. *HUGS*

Sounds like fun!! I want some deer parts.

RYN: Yay addresses! My new one: Peggy Correll 1169 Black Oak Drive Polo, MO 64671 USA And awww… I just thought of an idea but 1. I don’t have the stuff and 2. I’m not sure how I would go about it.. uhm.. Need to ponder. But making something might be an idea. 🙂 And yeah… otherwise gifts from me might just be cards, but it fits in the I was thinking of yoooou! 🙂 haha

RYN: Yes, I know that you have a brain for the hide, but I’m telling you, from what other tanners have told me, it’s not enough brain to get a good soft hide. You actually need like a brain and a half or two brains. *chuckles* If you can’t get them from the place you got the hide…check with the local taxidermist and/or deer processing places. They generally just toss the brains. And at thedeer processing places, they generally toss the hides too, so you might get a few others that way if you are wanting them. 😀 Light of heart,
