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.

Christmas break makes

At long last I have finally got round to making some more models.  The christmas break really did give me sometime to myself.  I am really trying to stop myself from wandering off onto to other projects.  I never finish them and end feeling that I had wasted a huge amount of time.  I really want to focus.  I think I may suffer a little with ADD lol.  Well christmas was ok, nothing to really write home about.  That's me just being a little humbuggy.  Well as I say I have managed to make five horse over the christmas, FIVE!!! I hear you gasps ,yes that is what I can do if I really turn my hand to it, without giving in to wandering call.  Well here are four of those five because the last one is waiting for a mane and tail, because I couldn't find my brown fur fabric.  It will probably turn up when I'm not looking for it.  Oh yes hand and elbow are heaps better now so full steam ahead I hope.

First up is Duchess, check out my new background.  Only thing is the light that I usally use is broken so my photos are not to good.

Next up is Abacus the Arab, not very happy in the snow, but he was tucked up into his stable after this picture was taken.

Now we have the lovely Zac the Gypsy Vanner, he is also a blanket spot.

And nearly finally because there is another little norsey waiting in the wings, here is Trixie who I keep getting mixed up with Duchess, not sure why.

The next couple of days I will have photos of Monty once he has his mane and tail.  I have been out today to buy a exercise hula hoop to help strengthen my lower back ( injured in a riding accident) so wish me luck lol.

Merry yuletide

A little late but merry christmas to everyone.  Hope you had a good one.  Also best wishes for the new year. Will have some fresh models coming up soon after a very long drought.  No drought weather wise here, we have had rain, rain and a little more rain leading to road closers and allsorts.  I am planning to have a web site soon so will keep everyone informed on that. Hand is all better now but do have to be careful.

Happy new year
