After a week of scrambling to pull all the pieces together, yesterday she came home.
She seems to be right at home with the ponies already. Even though Eugene is being a fresh little twit through the fence.

Here's the place to find out what's on my painting table, what's happening around the farm, and what's coming up next!
If you told me a month ago that THIS would be in my backyard I would NOT have believed you! However, a week ago a strange turn of events put this big pretty mare back on my radar (not to mention within my price range!) After a week of scrambling to pull all the pieces together, yesterday she came home. Here we are coming across the Delaware River . . . she's a Jersey Girl in 15 seconds! Yup, we were officially in Jersey. You can see the "Y" on the sign all the way to the left but the real indicator of our home state was . . . the construction! She seems to be right at home with the ponies already. Even though Eugene is being a fresh little twit through the fence. I'm really looking forward to riding her! Wish us luck!

It was a productive enough weekend so far . . . Gwenny, Eugene and I did pony rides at the local feed store on Saturday with Farm Chicks. We'll be there again next Saturday as well. We got to try out Eugene's new saddle. It fits well and he looks super cute with his blue hair and the blue accents on the saddle, too! Hopefully someone took pictures. I was relatively productive in the studio as well. I finished (pending approval of the photos) an appy portrait model. Here's Rio: If his owner approves he'll be on his way home mid week and I'll have photos of him up on my portrait model page, too. I also completed this Smarty Jones model that I've been working on for awhile now. He's got a cut mane and will go to his new owner ready for performance showing with a breastcollar, bridle, reins, SMB's and bell boots. He was just listed today on MH$P- go check him (and all his cool stuff) out! I also cleaned up the "tack room" and listed a HUGE lot of stuff- all for 40 bucks! Go check it out on sales pages, too! Mention you read about it on my blog and I'll throw in more free stuff (maybe a saddle pad?!) I've got water boiling right now because I'm hacking up a few plastic ponies this afternoon. Giselle got the royal treatment earlier getting her mane trimmed off, head moved and tail tweeked. After that I chopped the whole right side off Wintersong's neck, his tail, his ears and I'm going to mess with him in a pot of hot water next. Wish me luck!
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone! Sunday we logged and split firewood with our favorite neighbor, then cleaned up around the yard. He filled the whole back of his truck with branches and sticks. The only logical thing to do was burn them . . . so. . . bonfire on a Sunday! I got to finally start messing around with the Smarty Jones I'm doing as either a red chestnut or bay paint horse. He's certainly in the ugly stage right now but he'll be handsome and looking for a great new home soon enough. So far he reminds me of fallen leaves being blown as a car drives by. That's just where my artistic mind goes. I've got almost a whole shelf full of fun projects that are ready to go to new homes right now! There's everything from pony CM's to Safari models to OF horses and some tack, too. Check it out and see if any of them need to join your herd! Also, I was serious a few weeks ago when I said check out the My Collection Page and let me know if there were any models you were interested in. You'll notice they're disappearing off the page as I list them and they sell. Several models sold in a matter of minutes stunning and and thrilling their new owners! Frick and Frack are enjoying the fall weather as well but seem to be snuggling close by in the barn as the sun goes down each night. I rode Gwen this afternoon. She's about 3 hands too short for me but puts up with me well. She's as good to me as she is to the kid and I pay her in Nicker Makers after each time I ride. She gets it! No, I won't be posting pictures of me on the 12.3 hand pony because I look THAT ridiculous. Who's Cuter Than Us? Nobody. Have a great night everyone! |
