Name This Horse!!

We rescued a horse. She's been here for almost two weeks now, and we keep calling her 'the new horse'. We have to decide on a name - so I decided to ask for some help!

Here's the background -

She's a 24 year old mare (girl). She was a broodmare for much of her life (she had lots of babies). She was born in Missouri. She was starved at one time, and was found eating her own manure (poop) with her newborn baby at her side. She is an Appaloosa. Her coloring is a brown roan - it looks like brown over white, with faint spots. She loves to be sprayed with water. (Really, it's hysterical). She's headstrong, which probably means she has never had a ton of training. But she'll do whatever you ask her to do. I had 2 students on her last night, bareback. I do not think she would ever kick or buck.

Her name was Fancy. But she's not Fancy. Because she's an Appaloosa, my son suggested calling her Apples. (horses love apples, too). I also have thought about Lily (our ranch is named Valley Green, so she would be Lily of the Valley), or Dusty (thinking about keeping the 2 syllables with a Y at the end), or Brownie (warm and sweet and brown).

What do you think? We are open to any and all suggestions!

Your choice of either free knitted acorn from Woolies, or a free Admit One Cat, or scrabble tile pendant from Buster and boo, if we choose the name you suggest~!

Help!

So...........I was knitting this bunny. But then I decided to turn her into a bear. But...then she got a pink nose. And her bear ears are kind of big. But...she doesn't have a tail.

My friend called her a hamster.

Is she a mouse?

What do YOU think???? I could use some help here.....

You can read more about her in my Woolies shop! I'd appreciate your thoughts! If she needs a tail, I can certainly give her a tail!

HELP!

UPDATE: She SOLD today. I asked my lovely buyer if she would prefer a mousie tail, and she said no, she liked her as a very unusual bear.

Thanks to all who who posted their suggestions!!!!

When bad things happen to good people

I have a wonderful new friend, Susan. She owns Martha's Vineyard fiber farm. If you haven't experienced her fiber yet, check out her Etsy shop here. You can even purchase a share in her fiber!

However, that isn't the purpose of this post. I visited her blog this morning, and read a devasting story about her aunt and uncle; people that have given their all, to help people. Her uncle has had a catastrophic injury, and she is holding a raffle. I ask you, please visit HERE to read her story and consider helping a little bit, yourself.

I thank you for taking the time.

Trouble with the new shop

So, my pendants are not selling at buster and boo. I KNOW it cannot be due to price, because I am only charging $10-$11 per pendant - which is actually a necklace because I have included either a ribbon necklace or silk cord, with sterling clasps. Quality. Well, I have sold two of them.
So, the question is, WHY? I would very much appreciate any input. I have a lot of new ones to list today, so am going to go play with the pics. They need to be compelling, and apparently are not compelling enough.
There are other shops on etsy selling similar items. Maybe too many? Maybe I don't have enough variety listed?
I also have them for sale at Bohemia Tucson, I wonder if they are selling at all there.....
Would very much appreciate ANY and ALL criticism, comments, suggestions!
