KnottyBoy is an artist who lives in the great state of Wyoming, so I thought he would appreciate the log cabin I built for my grandson, aka The Grand Duke. The Grand Duke used to keep his GI Joe dolls in it when he was young but since he has gone to college and given up his childish playthings, I have custody of the log cabin until he has a home to put it in.



The interior of the cabin is a loft with the living room and kitchen on the first floor and a sleeping loft above the kitchen. Unlike the Victorian mansion, there is no electricity in the log cabin. A pump for the sink, a fireplace to cook in, fishing rods hanging from a hook by the door, and guns over the mantle provide the atmosphere.

I built the fieldstone fireplace one stone at a time. There is an iron hook inside the fireplace to hang a pot from and a pile of firewood on the porch to make sure that winter nights are warm and cozy inside this little cabin.

The bear skin rug is in honor of my stepfather, Ray. He brought home a rug like this to our vacation cabin on a lake in Maine one year. He told a fantastic story about how he killed the bear but in later years we found out that the bear was actually roadkill...and Ray was given the skin. We still loved him anyway!!
