Well, we've been here at the new house for two months now and I'm finally starting to feel settled in. All the pictures and such are hung up on the walls again, minus a few things that need power tools to be hung up. I couldn't stand the flooring in the kitchen and breakfast area anymore so I spent August 26th and 27th ripping out the old flooring and laying down new. Took me about seven hours to rip out the old and about six hours to lay the new! Changed the whole look of the two rooms. Next week I'm hoping to get some paint and get rid of the neon yellow walls.
A fellow model horse hobbyist has put out an ad for help with her new CD of saddle pad patterns so I've offered my services. I'll be getting a pattern (or two or three) from her which I'll stitch, then send to her and in return I'll get a copy of her newest CD as payment! Looking forward to doing the project.
Speaking of projects I just finished another saddle pad. I only had a small amount left on it when we packed everything to move and it's been sitting here begging to be finished. I finally got it done. It's a trio of greens in my cutback Native American pattern. It will be listed for sale along with another one I finished a while ago.
My saddle pads are now international! I just sent one to a wonderful gal who lives in Australia as a 'thank you' gift for some recent purchases she made from me. I don't know if she shows or not but it's still neat knowing that something I made is halfway across the globe.
I should also have an order coming up for a friend. She wants a couple of solid color pads for a couple of roping set ups she wants to show next year. Will be nice to know that my pads will be in the show ring.
I have also sent e-mails out to a few live show holders who are asking for donations for their upcoming shows offering either completed saddle pads or certificates or both. Time to start doing whatever it takes to get my stuff out there and in the public eye.
Stay tuned for more updates and progress photos.
