To know Malta's Katie Skiff at all is to know that she is the crafty sort, so it should come as no surprise that she and her husband Greg's recent purchase of the former Sew Sassy - cleverly renamed Prairie DeSigns - was a bit of a no-brainer when the opportunity for ownership arose. "I actually had a personal, smaller vinyl cutting machine, so I would make my own t-shirts," Katie said. "So, when this opportunity came, I was like 'Yes! This is what I want to do'. And then Greg just goes along...
From a brand-new building at a brand-new location, to a new building on a current site, and a remodel of a historic building, there is no shortage of construction taking place in Malta these days.

BilliJo Doll has finished her latest book, My eMpTy Life, her ninth, and says that the book is in honor of the women of Eastern Montana.

I hunted the first 15 days of the season before I took a break, but couldn’t relax on my first day off because I felt like I was missing something. Now, at the end of November, I still feel the same way, like I’m missing something if I take a day off. It all goes by so quickly. Big game season ends this weekend. Antelope is already over. Same with sage grouse. Upland bird runs through the first of the year, and I’ll go out at every opportunity, but it, too, will be over before you know it. I...
Last week I talked about the things I enjoyed about our vacation to Lake Tahoe and this week I wanted to talk about the things that bummed me out about our trip. I have a problem with simply enjoying vacations. During my 22nd birthday, while I was living in Florida, my mother came down and surprised me with a vacation cruise to the Bahamas. That story is for another day, but it was on that trip that I realized that I don’t relax well. I was hoping that this trip to Lake Tahoe would be different. I did have relaxing times, but I found a way t...
I don’t intend to have sticky fingers…I really don’t. Yesterday, I visited the lovely ladies at the Phillips County Treasurer’s office to pay my taxes. We chatted for a few seconds and off I went (one of the beautiful things about living in a small community is the lack of standing in lines for such events.) Out of their office, down the elevator, and out into the parking lot I went. I dug into the front pocket of my jacket to fish out my car keys and there, already in my hand, a pen I had inadvertently stolen from their office. The Pen Thief h...
