Long week and not a lot to show for it.

I've been really sick this week with some kind of flu or virus.  It started out as a stomach "thing' and went quickly into a sinus and respiratory infection.  Bleah.  Anthony was out of town Starting Thursday so it was just me and RJ.  Poor Rj was bored out of his mind with a mom that couldn't play but he was an exceptional little boy and caused me no issues.

I had one rein for Robin S. bridle complete when I realized it was way too long.  so I have to start over there... Like I said.. not a lot to sho for thi sweek.. Hopefully next week will be better..

Sneak peeks..

Reins for Ann B.

Bridle I'm working on for myself.  I made the buckles, keepers and the knots. (Those are woven knots, NOT beads)

Robin S's double bridle in progress

Work has been a lot more demanding lately which is a bittersweet thing.  YEsterday, Oct 16th I felt better than I had in a long time.  Just a general overall, I feel better than average kind of day.  Which is the first time I've felt that way in about a year and a half.

Tonight I'm tired, so I'm just sitting and relaxing and recharging.. more studio work this weekend!

Work getting in the way of my Fun!

Work has been very very busy and very intense.  I'm really tired most nights when I come home.  I do try to spend some time in the studio, no matter how short.  Now more than ever I need the comfort of creating things. 

Above is Robin S. 's double bridle in progress.  I'm working on the cavesson now.  The gold on the browband is real gold filled wire.
