NaMoPaiMo - Will I or Won't I?

There is only a week left to register for NaMoPaiMo and I am not sure that I am going to make it.

 I've located all my painting and prepping supplies and they are all in order - no need to order anything.

For Pony Pal Mila and Cowpoke Lukie, I have some pieces for them to paint should they want to participate again this year.

After doing Sultanna and Hokey in 2020 and 2021, my plan was to do Trouble this year. But he was sold and so I don't have a real horse to paint any more. (Abby is way beyond my skill set.)

I had planned to paint this prop sled while I did my NaMoPaiMo horse, but to enter NaMoPaiMo you must paint a model horse. This would not count as my entry.

In addition to that dilemma, I am swamped with sewing orders. I haven't mentioned my sewing business much, but it's keeping me busy.

Mutton Buster Cambria doesn't always wear jeans and boots; she's got this pretty dress for her upcoming baptism.

I am making a matching dress for her American Girl doll. And to make it look just like her dress, I have to merge aspects of three of these four different dresses into one dress.

I've got a basket of cut-out haversacks that are ready to stitch and ten new fabrics to post on the Horsiemama's Haversacks and Mercantile Facebook page.

What's been keeping me the busiest is that I took on more 18th century sewing. 

After the success I had with the riding habits and their reception at The Feast of the Hunters' Moon, I branched Horsiemama's into the 18th century and am stitching up a variety of period clothing. 

There's a large indoor show, Yankee Doodle Muzzle Loaders, in Kalamazoo in March and I'm heading up there with Teacher Daughter Lisa and my sister, Leslie to see how my clothing is received.

Between that deadline, the doll dress, and sewing new stock for the February Great Lakes Congress show, plus the fact that I don't have a real horse to paint, I may not enter NaMoPaiMo. 

I've only got a week to figure it out.
