Dreaming of Electric Sheep
If you haven’t seen this yet, this is what happens when you give sheep farmers some toys and hire them to make an ad. Very cool! Here’s an article on how and why it was done.
Vegetarian Rant
I’m a quiet vegetarian. I’m not the type to get in your face about eating meat. I’m not going to go off when you tease me about being vegetarian. I do have leather stuff (especially around horses) but I’m finding myself drawn more and more to leather alternatives. But I am just going to have [...]
What’s Your Story
In honor of starting to ride again I’m copying this meme from Horse and a Half. 1. How old were you when you first started riding? My grandparents lived next door and had ponies. They sold them when I was five but I rode them from birth up to that point. 2. First horse ridden: [...]
Crooked Chimney
I realized after I put this together part way that I wasn’t using my 1/4″ foot so it was all off. Then I couldn’t find the right foot so I tried to fake it and it is all manner of crooked. My friend brought me this fabric today so I decided to use it. I [...]
The Most Shocking News Ever
Is everyone sitting down? I’ll give you time…………. I rode Prize today. It was only about 3 minutes at the walk but I did it. Her girth didn’t fit but the barn owner was there and stole a girth from someone else’s saddle so I didn’t have any excuses. He held her and his dinner [...]
Wardrobe Malfunction
I am an idiot when it comes to packing to go to trail rides. There was the time I got to Louisiana with one pair of socks. At the next I was paranoid about packing enough socks. I packed lots. Then I proceeded to drive off and leave the whole suitcase. I didn’t realize until [...]
When I Grow Up
When I grow up I want to be Lindsey. She was my host and driver this weekend. She’s about five feet tall and shrinking. She’s probably around 80. She’s been a widow for several years and lives with her dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys. She’s wild! She drove me around in a gigantic pickup truck. [...]
What you should learn from movies
I got to the airport at 11 PM central time. I was tired. I was not in the mood to look for my ride. You know on TV when people pick up strangers at the airport and they have a sign with the name on it? Good idea. Wearing a sweatshirt with the name of [...]
On the Road
I’m on the way to Florida to be warm. Actually I’m judging a ride but it is going to be warm (for me). It is cool for them this weekend but I’m going to be basking!
This Means War!
My house has become an interspecies battleground. The combatants – Snowball and Riley. Snowball’s side: 1. She has her sleeping zone. It is a blanket on the floor by the bed. It defines a space the length of the bed and three feet wide. On this blanket she has other blankets arranged to her exact [...]

Quilting Day
Today is my one year anniversary of meeting the SO in person. In honor of the occasion I quilted the top I made for him last summer. He’s been whining inquiring about when it might be finished. I’m going to try to bind it tomorrow and Thursday and then leave it for him as a [...]
Weight Watchers week two
I gained weight back this week. I’m not sure why since I’ve been following the same plan. I’m still less than at the beginning. I’m going to keep going with it as much as I can even though I’m heading to Florida to judge a ride this week. They tend to have lots of junk [...]
CheckUp
I went for my two month ayurvedic check up. I think I’m slightly better. I have a small spot of psoriasis on the side of my nose. Normally I had to treat that with medicine about once a week. I haven’t had anything there for a month. The bad places on my head don’t seem [...]
Friday Block Party
Bear’s Paw is one of my favorite traditional blocks so I was excited to see this come up. My original idea was to do mirror images of the black/white and red. Two where the red was the background and two with the black/white as the background. But when you put them together you lose the [...]
Lazy, lazy, lazy
I think there is a spell over my house. It is something similiar to what happened to Sleeping Beauty except that I haven’t pricked my finger lately. However my friend repeatedly poked her finger with a needle in my house the other day so it is possible that we are getting spillover from a spell [...]
