Checklist: Breyerfest!!

 So I can officially check off visiting Breyerfest! Although it’s online, I think it still counts. My new friend and I are already talking about carpooling to Breyerfest next year! (Fingers crossed). At first I wasn’t going to buy tickets, but once I saw the celebration horse I had to. I LOVE the mold and the coloring, so I couldn’t pass it up.

Well, I was mostly busy yesterday with camp so today I tuned into the livestream and I watched a few of the seminars. It was surprisingly fun, I really learned a lot about model horse showing and horses in general.

I’m also working on this black jumper saddle. I feel like I’m getting much better at making saddles, I’m finally *almost* satisfied with my pattern.

Check List: Dressage Double Bridle

 I'm so, so, so sorry about the silence! I lost my phone all week and I never had the chance to take any photos! This week I have been really busy, I made my first double bridle and a dressage saddle. 

Let me just say that I really struggled with this bridle. I spent an hour fiddling with the curb strap to get it on just right! Although I worked really hard on it, my work paid off. I really like how my bridle looks and I can't wait to take some good photos.

On Friday I ran out of the leather lace that I dyed, so I had to use my pre- dyed lace. If your asking, why don't you use pre- dyed lace all the time instead of dying it yourself? Well it's because the pre- dyed lace is REALLY hard to skive. (You can cut through it so easily)

This was all of my shavings:

By the way, we put our Christmas tree up! I can't wait for Christmas to arrive. ( I'm already thinking of some festive model horse photos!)
