Waiting for Spring.........

You see....where I live.....it's still really cold and I have alot of snow yet to melt ...yuk! We are in a bit of a cold snap with temps only reaching 40 and nights are frigid. Even though most of you guys are enjoying the "real" spring, you know, grass is growing, flowers are coming up (sigh) ..... it takes us about mid May before we experience anything like that.

And since I'm a baby about riding in the cold weather......we sit and wait.....the tack is ready just waiting.

Although the boys could care less! They would rather just hang around and be lazy, than to get saddled and worked a bit. We don't show horses anymore so they got it real easy!

My daughter is itching to get out and ride Cody (the palomino [blonde] horse)....but he got into a bit of a fight with Jack on Friday. He injured is back hock where he has been limping for a few days....I've got him on meds and keeping an eye on him because I lost a horse from a leg injury...... that's one of the reasons I don't board my horses anymore....but I won't bore you with the nasty details of that incident. Anyhow......as soon as the weather brakes and everybody is healthy enough to ride.....I will be posting some of that fun :)

Enjoy your day!

p.s. So far no signs of the tumor returning on Jack....... thank you everybody who has been inquirying about him :) He very much appreciates it! He is such a sweetie....he is the big baby of the three.....loves to be hugged and pampered....but scared of his own shadow :0

Easter is Coming....

Well, I have been trying to work a little bit on Spring & Easter pieces...but it sure is hard to get into the essence of the season when it is 5 degrees and snowing here where I live! We won't see any sign of Spring until late May or early June! No kidding.

Meantime, I thought I would share my latest piece I just finished up. I love the way this batch of mohair came out...the old pink almost salmon color.... I only have a little bit more of that color ...I sure hope I can reproduce it again. For all of you stuck here in the North East with me... .... try to stay warm :)

Flower Power !

Here is my new design for my Spring Collection!

These came out so great and very unique. I have had this idea in my head for sometime now and finally got them completed. I have done them with Ellyfont, Dawg, Bear and Wabbit heads with all different color aged fabric petals. The weathered pots are all aged and chippy painted from papier mache...but because I weighted them they really feel like an old clay pot!

They are so fun and whimsical.....hope they make you smile :)
