"Christmas" is Coming!

Mystery solved! Yesterday morning I got a text from Shannon Call who pointed out that I had misidentified the model that was puzzling me. We had a good discussion and I learned a lot. As we wrapped up chatting, I suggested that she stitch together our conversation and be a guest author for the blog. Shannon agreed and you can look for what she has to say to be published most likely either Saturday or Sunday. Thanks, Shannon!

I've got a busy day ahead of me today. I still need to vacuum and put the freshly washed sheets back on the bed. I need to finish the hems on the three pony pads for that last order, but other than that, all the sewing is done.

Two Hamilton-sized Traditional haversacks.

Three Welsh Pony - sized ones. (With that turned neck, she requires a special size. I had to make up a special pattern for her.)

We've had some rain overnight but are not expecting any more today.

I am hoping that, by the time Liz, Steff, and Ellen are here, things have dried up enough that we are not walking through mud to get to the herd. (All horse photos by Barn Buddy Kelsey who will also be with us.)

Last year when we visited the horses the night before Indy Blooms, Two Socks was only a couple of weeks old. No doubt they will be surprised at how big she has gotten.

And no doubt, too, that, with last night's rains, Abby will have availed herself of the refreshed mud spa and be a muddy mess. If I have time, I'll run out before everyone arrives and groom her. (Kelsey, I'll do Dolly, too, if I can!) 

Of course, I'll need to shower and change after that, so I'll have to save time to get cleaned up myself. 

Time will tell, but in the meantime, I feel like I am a kid waiting for Christmas to come!

Safe travels, ladies!
