Model Horse Busy!

If you live or photo show, run a club, or participate in other aspects of the model horse hobby, then you understand the term, "model horse busy." The hobby can keep you very busy, and sometimes I even think busier than just about anything else!

I am really model horse busy right now. Not only am I preparing for a swap meet (this weekend) and a live show (next weekend), but I've had some custom orders to sew and some project deadlines to meet.

Galleries open this Friday for entries for Breyer Boot Camp and I will be stewarding the OF Foal and OF Light Divisions.  Those galleries open the same day as the Indy Blooms Swap Meet. Like I said, model horse busy!

Having stewarded for Breyer Boot Camp before, I know my responsibilities and how to fulfill them. It's actually a lot of fun, and I can do it on my own schedule, although they do ask that I check the galleries I am stewarding once a day. Not a problem. Still, it takes some time to steward every day, so... model horse busy!

Teacher Daughter Lisa dropped by after school to get her dogs and snapped a few photos of me as I worked on another project recently. It just so happened that I'd tidied up the sewing room that day, so it was a good time to take a picture of it, right?

I love the view out of my sewing room windows - doesn't matter the season, I think it is always pretty.

I track the number of haversacks I make, and I'd recently hit my 1,000th haversack. Model horse busy!

Working on a custom Hamilton sized haversack and checking fit before the final pressing. He fit just fine (as did Troubadour, Giselle, Huckleberry Bey, and the Andalusian Stallion. This size fits many of Breyer's larger models.) Model horse busy!

There are two more projects that will be shared when I can. One won't begin for a few months but the other is currently in progress. I'm having fun with both, but they are keeping me very... Model horse busy! 

(Not that I mind.)
