What a Month !

May was not so nice to us long story shortened Roy ( My hubby ) ended up in the hospital for a week with an infection in his arm . He is fine and out of the hospital but things got crazy here for a bit and it was really hard to concentrate on studio stuff .

But before he got sick I had completed 2 western sets they both belong to really good friends of ours . The traditional set shown on Breyers Smart Chic Olena is for one of Roy's best friends Wade. And the classic set shown on the roan stock horse is for one of my best friends Robyn. 

In other news we are moving back to Portales New Mexico at the end of this month, if everything goes to plan. We already have a house lined up and Roy is there working . I have a few sets I would like to complete before the move but I think I will be lucky to get 1 more done and maybe 1 smaller order. 

This week I worked my butt off and just this morning completed my first ever 

Portuguese set.

  This set belongs to Tiffany Purdy .

I had to make the bit from a sheet of brass. It wasn't easy but I think it turned out pretty good and the finished product was worth the effort . It will be a while before I tackle another one of these sets. 

I have also decided to go ahead and take 1 order for each of the following months August, September, October, And November. Please see my policies page here for more info on orders. At this time I will only take orders for Western , Parade any size Traditional to Stablemate and English  in stablemate and pebbles only I have not yet worked out patterns for the larger sizes .
