A Bump Before BreyerFest

With BreyerFest fast approaching, this time of year is always busy in the model horse world. Like everyone else, I am busy, too, except... 

I hit a bump in the road. Not even four weeks after being sick with COVID, I was positive again! 

Last week I had some very mild symptoms and took a home test as a precaution. That was positive, so I called my doctor and she had me come in for one at her office. Same results - positive.

This has really brought home to me what being at high risk means.  And, had I not already been staying home from BreyerFest, I would've changed plans and not gone. Luckily, my symptoms were very mild and only lasted 24 hours so I have been able to keep busy as I isolate at home.

My BreyerFest tickets arrived and, like everyone else, I am loving that ticket book - it's beautiful! I am pleased with the two selections that I got (my first two picks!) but I still want the Rotating Draft Surprise.

Having to isolate at home while feeling healthy and well has allowed me to get some things done that I have been putting off.

Such as contacting Sue Kern and scheduling some repair work for a couple of broken models.

Horsiemama's Haversacks has had steady business for months now...

... and isolating at home gives me more time than usual to sew. 

Preparing for FAMulous and sewing for Jolis Chevaux (those racks of finished 18th century clothing) has kept me busy while I've been home, too.

I miss Abby, but Tim and Barn Buddy Kelsey are wonderful about keeping an eye on her. Tim just trimmed her hooves for me and sent me this photo.

I will isolate a few days past the CDC's recommended time just to be safe, and I should be able to be out and about again early next week.

In the meantime, I have a busy day ahead of me today at the sewing machine and then sorting ribbons for FAMulous.
