Just a quick update

Just thought I'd post a quick update as I sit here waiting for Miss C to decide she's ready for bed.  It's 1 am and she's watching old Tom & Jerry cartoons, eating a pop tart, and sipping on her tippy of milk!

I'm still busy stitching saddle pads.  Sent out a bunch of finished ones last week.  Included was a brand new pattern.  It turned out stunning the way the customer asked for it and I think it'll look just as good in different colors.  I have 19 still left to do before I'm caught up and that's only if nothing more comes in!  Here's a photo of the finished pad.  It was patterned off of a real pad and was quite fun to design and stitch.


Currently I'm working on a drafter size saddle pad (my first one).  It's just about done and will be turquoise and black.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, normally a saddle pad only takes two skeins of floss.  This one is taking more so I need to get more when I go to town later today and hope that it matches.  If not, I'll be starting over, ugh.

My poor chickens don't know what to do, one day it's 90* and the next it's 57* so their egg production is a bit lacking to say the least.  I'm supposed to be getting upwards of 15 more young hens but the guy can't catch them as he doesn't have an actual house for them so they're roosting in his trees.  Hopefully one of these days I'll be getting them!

Well, that's about all for now.  Think I'm going to head to bed whether Miss C wants to or not!
