Night

Sometimes it takes my breath away. Soft wind, night sounds of crickets and other night creatures, it's dark outside. And I'm waiting.

 So it happens...the big super moon rises over the mountains. Majestic. Magic.
It lights that side of the sky as it rises.

Over on the other side ....still dark.

And the night waits.

Bunnies

We feed the bunnies. Not on purpose. But the horses are messy eaters, and there is hay all over the place. The bunnies try to clean it up for us.

It's hard to get a good picture of them, they are very good at camoflage.

This is Belle, our mustang. She is wearing a fly mask to protect her eyes from the flies. We buy 'fly predators', they are little bugs that eat fly larvae. We also have goldfish in the water troughs. They eat fly and mosquitoe larvae. It's supposed to help a lot.

We still have flies.

And bunnies too.

Horse Love

Yes, it's true. I've been addicted to horses since the age of 2. Where our backyard ended, a stable began.

Do you know how good horses smell? Their breath is the sweetest thing in the world.

This time of year, my horses take naps in the sun. It is too cute - these big huge animals lying down in the dirt, all happy and drugged by the warm sun after the cool nighttime.

Belle, our mustang is in the front of the picture. If you look towards the back of the arena, you'll see Dozer, our quarterhorse. :)

OMIGOSH

I abandoned my blog for the past month! That is because I have been crazy knitting lots of these:

And even more of these:

Due to a feature on Crappy Pictures, which you have to go read. If you're a parent, ever been a parent, thinking of being a parent, you will totally enjoy. GO!

Etsy Front Page!

So exciting to see your work featured on Etsy's front page! :)

Winter in Tucson

It SNOWED one day last week. I was running around with nothing but a sweatshirt on (well, I think I must have had jeans on too...), bringing my horses up to their covered stalls so they wouldn't get snowed on (not that they care....and once I brought them up to their covered stalls they stood in the open....) with FREEZING hands and then was running around with my camera SO excited that it was snowing, and then I was so proud because I texted the picture to lots of people!

Wow is that the longest sentence EVER?

I love winter here. :)

How fast a month flies....

With all the best intentions, I deserted my blog for the past month! That is because I am crazy busy.

Being unemployed does not give you more time, it gives you less.

Or, that's how it works for me, anyway.

I'm doing some part time sales work.

I'm doing some freelance media work.

I'm working on ramping up my websites.

I'm looking for wholesale/consignment shops. Know of any that like handmade work?

I'm trying to keep laundry clean, kitchen clean (and bits and pieces of the rest of the house)...

Trying to organize my yarn/office/closet......

My husband is now working evenings, so it is up to me and my son to figure out dinner for ourselves. I cook dinner most nights. He goes to get the ingredients for me. We are totally unorganized on this. It's driving me crazy.

I just finished a wholesale order for 12 Earth ponies.

I'm still working on Woolies custom orders - luckily, they keep coming in.

I package all the Buster and boo orders everyday. Luckily, they keep coming in, although at a slower pace. I need to advertise. I'm redoing my banner and all my materials.

I'm doing craft fairs. I'm preparing for craft fairs. I have a big one next month - Tucson Museum of Art.

I'm job searching. Everyday.

Insanity.
