Reader-Feature!

I just added this today- model photos from readers can now be viewed at the bottom of the page! Only one will be shown at a time, and I'll update it once a week (or so) to give every model a chance to shine. :)

Can be any type of model photo!

Getting Crafty

This post was written well over a year ago! I had intentions of making more (and writing about them), but it didn't happen, so the post got buried for a lonnng time as a draft. Oops. 🫠

_________________________________

Even though I never do very well with crafts (aside from painting), I decided to try making ribbons...

I'm using Desktop Stable's tutorial, it's very simple and straightforward. I highly recommend checking it out!

My first try worked out pretty well. The hardest part was finding the right size circle of paper to glue the folded ribbon onto.



Here it is on my Ruffian! 



After making the design, I was ready to have another attempt.


Next round went a little smoother, but there were still a few problem areas. I had a little bit of trouble spacing the rosette how I wanted, but it worked out okay. I glued the new design onto both of the ribbons, and I think it looks pretty nice. The design's color was fading (due to the ink being rubbed off), so I had to recolor it with a pen. I tried a different method of making the metal hanger using a paperclip, and it worked really well!

2nd Attempt

Updated 1st Attempt

New Metal Hanger

That's all for now! Hoping I can get back into posting more frequently. Thanks for your patience, guys. πŸ’œ

New Stablemate Shelf

 A small post, but I thought it would be fun to share. :)




I found the perfect SM sized shelf at an antique shop the other day! I had to turn it upside down and flip it around to make it work how I needed it to, but I'm really pleased with how it looks. :)

I'm excited that customs from friends (and a Stone Pebble) get the other shelf all to themselves, now! πŸ’œ

OOAKS and More!

 Trying to somewhat keep up with news this time~



Look how cute these two test models are! You can never go wrong with a black tobiano. Makes me think about adding a (different) Midnight Tango to my herd, lol.







We also got a sneak peek in the Collector Club Newsletter! Super helpful image, thanks Breyer. Really interested in seeing who it will be, though! :)









We also got a nice look at Horatio, the Deluxe CC Stablemate! My goodness, he is adorable! I can't wait to get mine. πŸ’œ





One last note- Breyerfest tickets are now available to purchase! πŸŽ‰

2024 Collection Photos

A long awaited post! I accidentally skipped doing last year's photos, oops.

Overview of my whole collection. I'm not including bodies for this post, lol. But, you can kind of see a tub of them in the bottom left corner!


Here we have a closeup of my newest shelf! My beloved SM Croi conga and Scratching Foal conga! At the top, you can also see an *adorable* little crochet croissant (made by Adah of Spotted Dreams Studio)! 


The custom shetland and rearing guy were also painted by her! They were birthday gifts from a couple months back. How sweet of her! πŸ’œ

The SCO and Django were painted by some other friends of mine. I need to get something to better display them all!





All of my other Stablemates and Chips. They have really multiplied, lol!






A (hopefully) better shot at my trads! The ISHs are about to overflow! 🀣
