Definatley Working again

Ok, so this is the state of it, I am most definatley working again, have to feed a horse, lol.

No really just got another 6 hours in a new job, and it is going to be another great job. This one is packing orders and general assistance for a home based website yarn company.

So now it is a case of how much I can resist spending on the delish yarns, silks, cashmere, wool etc, we are also going to be dying yarn and as I have done this with natural materials such as onions and a mordant, it will be nice to try the chemical dyes and see what can be achieved.

I am still doing the Thursday night patchwork group with the girls, we have places if you are interested. Checkout Sewrite for mor info.

Rocky will be here soon and I can see I will either have to start another blog just for him or this one may just get less quilty and more horsey, just like me.

I have started up a quilting service using my frame at home and the 6600 Janome, so domestic machine producing lovely stippling and all over freestyle desings. I will be filling a niche area that will be alot cheaper than the computerized services but of course, it will be a hand made product. Very functional for lap quilts, quick gifts, kids floor quilts and all those tops you will never get done yourself. Get them out and send them to me.

Update on Rocky

Rocky might be here by the weekend, he is going well and I have just about organised all that is needed including paying the final payment.

He had another lesson over the weekend just gone and was put to the test with some traffic cones, meant to be a bit different and scarey so that the horses can be assessed for their riding status.

Rocky promptly picked one up in is mouth and started tossing it about. So much for being afraid of it, lol.

He also did a few little jumps, that he seemed to enjoy. Well we shall see how Roz goes over the jumps, maybe I should jump them on my own legs before I attempt jumping over them on Rocky. I am hoping that getting a stock saddle or a fender will help me feel more comfortable in the saddle than I was in an all purpose saddle

so these are some of his pics to date...........enjoy

A new love in my life

Hey this is Rocky, my new best friend. Isn't he gorgeous??

That is Karleigh his trainer with him going thru the paces, well not paces in fact that is what we don't want him to do anymore.

He is a retired trotter, 9 year old and very gorgeous, he is 16.2hh and a very solid boy. He has spent the last 3 years in a big paddock eating lots of grass. His owner a large harness racing team are sending Karleigh horses to be re-trained and re-homed, to make great all round riding horses. This gives them a second chance at life and is a great thing for these most beautiful animals.
