Saddle pad order almost done!

I have one more pad to stitch and then I can finish the backs on the three pads, get photos of them, and get them shipped off to their new owner.  So stay tuned for some finished pictures!  I had a horrible head cold the middle of the week and Mike's been out in the garage every night after work until 10 or so working on a big project for someone.  He's swapping bodies on some Toyota Land Cruisers and doing some re-wiring.

I've gotten in some 'new' models in the last couple of weeks.  I haven't bought any in almost 2 years so I figured I could get some (plus I couldn't pass up the prices on them).  For Breyers I've now got Smart Little Lena w/ calf to replace one I sold years ago (and then kicked myself over), a Nakota, a classic size Warmblood stallion/foal set, and a classic size Shire.  For Peter Stones (my first ones) I've got an Ideal Stock Horse (ISH), a couple Western Pleasure Horses (WPH), a Performance Horse (PH), a Standing Drafter (really nice model), an Arab (Pain In The Brass, another nice model even though I'm not really an Arab person), and a Palouse.  I've got some others that I'm still paying for so they'll be here in a couple weeks - more WPH's (six to be exact, I may pick my favorites and then re-sell some), and then some more Breyers - Bet Yer Blue Boons, Big Chex To Cash, Wixom (a Percheron mare), 'Bouncer' (a Welsh pony), a classic size Morgan mare, a classic size Appendix QH mare (also advertised as a Warmblood), a classic size Quarter Horse stallion and mare, a classic size 'Ginger' (sort of a prancing QH), and another classic size Shire (thinking team harness).  I have a Menard's store credit so we'll be using part of it to go get what we need for Mike to build me another shelf for the new models.  I just have them sitting here and there right now but a couple are within reach of little fingers so I want to get them up asap.  I need to take some pictures of my model collection, my camera does panoramic photos.....
