Getting time to spend with your ponies
« on: January 28, 2020, 05:24:57 AM »
Do you wish you could spend more time with your ponies and what projects would you do if you had more time?

I've been really missing my ponies lately. I've got 4 massive black bins and the only place to store them is right in front of my display case which is overfull. I've nearly moved house several times in the last year and I'm just hoping that one day I'll be able to set up the displays that I planned and enjoy them.

The best fun I had with my collection was creating diorama and writing very short stories of the kind that were on the G1 story tapes. I really hope to be able to do that again one day soon, I only managed to complete two so far. In the meantime I'm focusing on collecting those few h(er)tf ponies and enjoying the arena.

If I had more time to put on ponies? I’d get through dusting them all and brushing out their manes. It’s very dusty where I live, and winter is the one time there’s some improvement. And I’d probably build or get a shelf for the g4’s. They’re kept in two bins in the basement for now. I’d like to display them, but I don’t have space. The current g1/3 space is crammed to capacity! And I’d want to display all those play sets...looking at you canterlot/seaquestria...

Right now my ponies are just all thrown into a toy bin with all my other toys and things. I'd love to be able to go through and make all their manes nice and eventually I'd love to have a shelf to put them on nicely in rainbow order

Complete spa day (an utterly impossible task when I look at the cupboard) and fresh photos. And then a complete website revamp is also needed. Sigh.

I would finish my pony room, getting it all set up.  Then spa days (even though, unlike many others here, I do not enjoy this aspect of ponying.  Please don't  :throw: ).  Going through all my extras and list for sale and make an inventory and submit for additional insurance coverage.

A lot of my G4 need proper cleaning up and tail de-frizzing. Even though I got a lot of mine new in box originally, their hair is still super tangled...

Would those souvenirs be small, plastic and pony shaped by any chance...??

@Nessa - I also don't really like spa day. One or two ponies is fine, but the idea of doing my whole collection...is the stuff of nightmares.

I have the time, but I lack the energy (and I have this thing where I feel like I don't have time for certain things, like ponies, or sitting down to watch a movie once in a blue moon), but when/if I do have the energy, I'd like to keep up with going through the rest of my collection and do some spa'ing, and photographing to get them up on Snupps - I did get through all the g2's and g3s, but the g1s feel like an insurmountable task, and I'm not sure in what end to start ^^'
I love pony spa, and I really enjoy taking pics of them, I just get overwhelmed too easily.

I also want to build risers for my shelves. I have the material for it, I just need to borrow some tools from my dad, who lives in another town :silly: I'll get there with everything, eventually ^^'

For me it's not time that's an issue but motivation. My ponies are really in need of a spa day or even just a quick once over with the vacuum. I'd like to rephotograph them all too and fix my crooked risers. Space is an issue also, I have most of my Hasbro ponies on display but I've got a box of customs that I have no room for.
