YEP . . . . IT HAS DEFINATLY BEED A WHITE OUT . . . . but soooooo much fun !!
So here we are It's comming to the end of January, and we are snowed in !!
The snow began on Saturday and hasn't stopped until today !! Im not complaining though !! . . . .
. . . we have made a snow horse, snow angels, been sledging and just genuinly enjoyed this
fun stuff that is up to our knees !
Today though, We have had enough of it, Walking is terrible and pathways are invisable under mountainous heaps of snow from the plough that cleared the roads !
Thanks for that by the way council !! Nice to see you look after the ones who drive, and expect the walkers to share the road too . . . . I Think we need to dress up like a corsa, That would be the only safe way to walk on these roads !
Any way, lets not worry,Snow melts eventually and while its here lets just enjoy it :)
SO THEN WHAT ELSE HAVE I BEEN UPTO ?
Well the Christmas rush is well and truelly over, although it was only a few weeks ago it feels like months !! I have been kicking the January blues and keeping busy looking forward to the New year, thinking up ideas to keep me plodding on !!
We havent been doing many arts and crafts at home lately, the children are happy playing with their new toys, and the closest we have got to arty stuff has been the Playdo icecreams and sweets we made . . . . . Oh how yummy they looked, shame we could'nt eat Them !!
I also treated myself to some Fimo . . . .Oh such fun !! I have been busy creating little googley eyed ponies, cups, cakes, donuts, and even a cup of hot chocolate !! . . . I have really enjoyed learning this new skill, and I must say when I bought it I though WOW . . . That looks easy . . .HA !
How wrong was I ? Hats completely off to all fimo artists and mini model painters !!
So the Fimo horses turned out ok, Now what to do with them ? . . .Well this is something that I will be looking into over next week or so, Im looking into lots of new products that can be completely customised to your horse or pony !!
I've also been busy sketching the Carousel ponies, They are so dainty and pretty I want to make sure that they are perfect !! They have a large fan base, and I need the fans to be able to see the humour as well as be able to make out which pony they are . . . . . I Have nearly 30 to choose from they are all cute, I will be creating 5 - 6 of them !! They NEED to look like the ponies they are !!
Ontop of this I have had alot of commissions this month, I thought January may be quiet but it is proving to be as busy as pre Christmas, I have been creating alot of Stable signs, and small paintings. Plus I have just finished my first 16 " x 20" stretched canvas commission of 2013 !! I love working on Stretched canvas, this is by far my favourite !!
What else have the GeeGee's been upto then ?
Well you know what they are like . . . .You just can't stop these lot !!
When the snow fell, They just had to get out in it !! Well some did, the others decided they would rather stay in . . . . Some ponies were just much too small, they should never of gone out, It was inevitable what was going to happen, they should of seen it coming . . . . . . I simply had to get the camera !!
HAHAHA . . . . I simply had to Giggle before helping them all out !! Like I say, The snow has been deep !!
Some of the Funky GeeGee's were a little more prepared, I did warn them that it was cold.
We had more snow on the way and, it had been advised that unless you really needed to go out
you should stay inside safe and warm !! This GeeGee though had other ideas, He knew exactly how to get outside for some exercise and stay warm too. I honestly couldn't beleive my eyes when he walked out of the stable . . . . WHAT ON EARTH WAS HE WEARING ? ?
So did I let him go out like that ? . . . Of course I did, You try arguing with a GeeGee on a mission, However I did mention the coffee tap and said I would advice He used de-caff !!
Some of the GeeGee's had more sence, Oh and more style !! They decided that staying in with Haylage ad-lib and a warm cosy bed to stand on was a much brighter idea, There were a few of them that decided they were going to hibernate til it was over, PJ'S all the way !!
DOESN'T She look sweet ? And the best thing is, she's warm !! Im unsure about the mucking out though . . . .Slightly worried
where it may all go !!
Now I know we have to watch these ponies !! . . . . Like I have said so many times before, There is JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THEM !!
That secret society of cunningly secretive mischief hunting horses !!
YEP THEY HAVE BEEN AT IT AGAIN !! . . . . Only walked away for a split second and turned back round to this !! . . . .Its a good job I had my Camera !!
You simply wouldnt beleive it if I told you !!
SO THEN . . . .There you have it !!
You just can't take your eyes off your Horses . . . LIKE NEVER !! . .
. . They get upto no good,
Dress sence becomes terrible, they Start dancing with the grooms,
and they get themselves into situations that only you can
go and get them out of !!
Well I must get on, I have another sign to get painted, and another to start . . . .Im looking forward to seeing FUNKYNESS in every single Yard !!
I will leave you with this final thought . . . .
. . . Your horse has a secret side . . . .Do be warned !!
