I've been busy!
Comfort quilt pillows... They are awaiting a stuffing order to arrive. Snuggy blankets are popular, but as I was watching the kids trying to lay around watching a movie, I noticed, pillows would make it more comfortable. So with all the apron scraps and other materials I started cutting strips. My grandson helped me design a couple of them. And there are a few more to sew. My grandkids have been claiming the ones they want and I'm not even done with the variety. It's going to make a huge impact under Grama's tree this year. They are about 15 to 18 inch squares.
Additionally, there are Barbie clothes to crochet, and embroidery projects to finish....
Decorating has begun officially this weekend.
We're up to about 250 feet of lights outside, 33 nutcrackers, and at least 100 feet of lights inside. The snowmen and Charlie Brown tree are out with the penguins. And I have an order at Lowes to pick up this week.
It's starting to feel a bit like Christmas.....
And the horses.
Loving their life in huge pastures with trees, and friends and peoples that are constantly making sure they have hay and water.
I have 2 of the most amazing fantastic farriers in Western Washington.!
Star Bright's feet have never looked better.
3 out of 4 frogs have renewed and look beautiful. Here's a couple photos of what a complete frog looks like when it comes off. She's healed up and rides like a champ again. We've managed to get in one brief ride between rain storms.
It was really sweet today, when I walked out in the field with her she wouldn't stop and kept walking all the way to the place that I mounted the other day. She was acting like she wanted to ride again, even though it was pouring down rain. She truly does love to ride.
Lil Star sees me and comes to the gate for breakfast every morning, she's gotten so good, she allows me to lift her 2 front feet and clean them. She let one of the new farriers clip the front, And we are starting to lift her back feet. Which need clipped really bad! Hopefully next time around.
Polaris lifts his feet but doesn't balance very well. I'm not sure how he's going to do with the farrier, but he's got to have them done ASAP. So hopefully he'll get this figured out this week. I've been trying to get a video of him self loading in the trailer. It is pretty special and I admit I'm quite proud of both of us. Him for accomplishing it and me for being the one to 'train' him.... especially after so many folks were telling me I was doing it wrong..
Our country has had a rough year, and it's not over yet. A little Christmas hope a little early, just might be what the doctors ordered.....
God bless everyone, stay healthy stay safe and keep the faith!
