Completed commission

Just finished this commission.  She will be heading for Canada very shortly.  I'm making a Norwegian fjord at the moment.  This isn't a commission, just a breed I like a lot. I have caught up with my commissions at the moment, which is good.  I was going to make a Suffolk Punch from a new pattern before the Fjord, but I cut the pattern wrong and didn't have enough felt left.  I am ordering some more so I can carry on.

Been baking quite a lot.  Also gardening in the rain, because every time I go to do it it rains, so I thought in the rain it must be.  You watch it will lovely tomorrow.  I think us in the UK have forgot what nice weather looks like lol.  Well less of me waffling on and down to the pic.  Here is the commission pony.

Spring mare and foal

We had a lovely spring day yesterday.  I have been making a mare and foal in the hope that it would encourage the nice weather.  Well I think it worked yesterday, but very short lived as today is back to it's normal dull self.  I have been making a commission portrait feltie aswell, which is coming along nicely  I have got the baking bug.  I am really enjoying making cakes.  Also my knitting is coming on very slowly.  I am making an aran jumper.  So as you can see I have my fingers in very many pie. I can never just do one thing at a time.  Well here are the pics of the mare and foal.  The mare is called Grace and the foal is Rosie.





Hibernating

It really feels like I have been hibernating.  Tucked away from the long freeze.  With no sign of wnter giving way to spring it is the best thing to do.  I have managed to complete one of my commissions a little grey Cob, who is going to live in a castle with one of my other felties.  I have decided to make a mare and foal in the hope that it will make me feel more in the spring mood.   

Here he is

Don't worry.

Don't worry folks I'm still here.  Just been off focus again.  I think that I will never be any different.  I have been making some felties, commissions mainly.  Will post photos of them when done.  Have pulled a muscle in my neck which is really painful.  So this is slowing things down a little.  Not sure why I keep getting these little pulls in my arms and neck.  Probably down to sewing.  But I'm not giving up.  Hope you are all well and looking forward to the summer (if we get one)

All at once.

I have been really busy, that is why I have not posted for awhile.  I have many new models to show you guys.  I don't think I will make them in such a big batch next time.  I have also been celebrating my youngest son's 18th, so lots of family over so no sewing.  I have had a couple of wobbles with deviating but managed to get it into touch quite quickly which I am really pleased with.

Well here is the herd of new makes for January/February.First we have Medals who I did make some time ago, just never got round to taking photos.  He is a Morgan gelding.

Next is Sid, he was made the same time as Medals.  They have been keeping each other company.

Up next is Monty who I made with the last batch but has been waiting for a mane and tail.

Next up in this massive herd is Sandy the Donkey

Here next is Sandy's friend Welbeck, another Donkey

Still going. Told you I have been busy.  Next is Annie the Clydesdale.

Hang on in there, still more.  Here is Cloud another Shetland pony.

Next, (yes more lol), is Troy.

And finally a new pattern for this year is Bunty the Hunter mare.

I think these have been a little bit like a 62 bus, wait for ages then two come along together.  Off now to start more.  I am the mad feltie lady!!!!

Face book

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Tawney horses are now on face book.  Would love to make loads of friends so pop over and see us. Heres the link http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications#!/tawney.horses.9

Commission portrait

Just finished this commission portrait.  This time it was for a rider aswell.  Was a little bit nervous about getting the rider right as I have not made very many.   Here are the photos of the commission

The background really suited the day, it was snowing outside when I was taking the pictures. Thankfully most of the snow has gone already but I think we are in for another round later tonight.  I is pretty cold today.

Still beavering away on another 3 horses, two Donkeys and a Shetland pony.  Also not forgetting the horse that needs his mane and tail.
