Beth, sounds like a lot of work. I hope the hard drives are accessible xxx

More knitting, mostly the scarf, but a little glove now & then. Coffee & Kirky was on today, with a band performing music as it's a folk festival round here.
My starter is over a week old so I'm doing attempt 1 of sourdough bread. There's an air fryer recipe online I've faved & I'm following that. However, with the size things are looking I'm giving the stuff a load of time. I started last night, then today did the next stage, but I won't bake until tomorrow to let it have time. And that's the first half. The second half is waiting patiently for its turn in the one pan I can use to bake it. Here's hoping...

Their physical shape would resemble real ponies or horses, but with longer hair, because BRUSHABLE, & their colours would be rainbow colours, mixed with white. Not TOO much pink, there'd be males with slight but noticeable differences from the females (we could even have beards on adult males). And since we're in this day & age, some Ponies who are neither male nor female, again with a slight difference.
There would be younger Ponies of several age groups, including babies, toddlers, tweens, & teens. There would be Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, Sea Ponies, & some kind of fairy Pony (I love the Breezies & the butterfly wings on the Wingers). There would be pets, playsets, friends of other kinds of animal, & some kind of gnomes or elves & fairies who could all interact with the Ponies.
Variety & collectability would be the focus, & any QR codes would be linked to videos or downloadable images, artworks, colouring pages, & background scenes. 3D printing options would be included for accessories, with the Pony website giving options to "print for you" for a small materials & postage fee, plus enough to pay the supervising workers. I totally agree with clothing patterns being made available too.
Their world would be magical, & feature adventures & challenges as the Ponies explore the world. No silly "tea parties all the time". Each Pony would have their own character, magic, & colour scheme. The symbol would be there, but not in the "Friendship Is Magic" way of restricting a Pony's career choice. There would be groups of Ponies with particular themes & gimmicks, but not outright gimmick for gimmick's sake (yep glow in the dark, nope pocket on one hip). Articulation maybe, but not at the expense of looking pleasant or feeling uncomfortable in the hand.
Minis, yep, with their own mini playsets, but not at the expense of the normal-sized Ponies (3 inches is too small, so I'd go for at least 4). Plushies, yep, some.
Bring it back to building the world for your Ponies to live in. That's one of my fave parts of collecting

BC yaiy for clean kitchens!!!
Beth yep it is rude to call you about work when you're not getting paid xxx
Squirmy I'd love to see some examples of your SO's art xxx

Slept late Monday, but just about finished the scarf!!!
Today, coffee, got the loot, messages, out to Everything Shop town, got some stuff I wanted & some I needed, saw some pals pretty much everywhere, including: on the bus in, in the café, & on the bus back. Had cake & a frappe at the café. Got the food I needed too.
Off to order some things online & I'll be sorted!!!
Then it will be MY turn to sort the kitchen out, basically so I can get a new cooker. I miss my grill!!!

 
This sculpture is AMAZING!!! It must have taken you ages to get it right!!!

It rained hard on Wednesday & has started raining again today. Otherwise it's hot.

Boo DeSantis!!! Global warming is a global problem, not a political one

Had several reasons to smile this week, mostly to do with bounties of free food to tide me over this broke week, & help with paying for the food I had to buy (milk in particular).
Also to do with getting closer to people, including some I didn't expect

Day Lily, Knick Knack, Lady Slipper, & Rose Garden are harder to find than the other Breezies. Day Lily, Knick Knack, & Lady Slipper remain on my Want List, while Rose Garden was a very lucky find!!!
Snippety Snap eludes me to this day!!!
