Another commission.

As I said in my last post, I have been working on a  friesian commission.  It seems to be taking me longer these days to complete each horse.  I don't think it really matters as long as I get them done.  This chap will be jetting off to Australia.  Have been playing around with some riders, but not very happy with the results so far.  I will keep going and hopefully one day will come up with a half decent doll.  Well here is the Friesian, this is the third one of these I have made so far. 

Norwegian Done

As mentioned in the last post, I was making a Norweigan Fjord.   I only just finished him last week.  I really love Norwegian Fjords.  Would really love to own one and a Haflinger.  I think they would make a lovely pair.  I am now making a commission of a Friesian.  These are a very popular breed, people just love them.  I love making them. 

 I am having a massive clear out of the house, so this taking up alot of time.  Also have got the bug for baking cakes.  I like the fact that you have a final result in a matter of a couple of hours.  Well here are the pic's of the Norwegian who I have named Harry.

   

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!!!!
