« on: February 14, 2017, 07:48:02 AM »
This is a long over due post thanks to technical difficulties. But now I finally got it all together. Yay!
(please excuse the graininess, I don't know what is up with my stupid camera phone)


I'd like to introduce you all to my first year of custom making! Dun dun dun!!!!!!!!!!

Left to right: Wintergreen Frost, Silver Bells, Sunsoaked, Raspberry Cyclone, Harvest Moon, Finishing Touch, Lil' Nova, Lil' Treestar, and Lil' (my husband really needs to name him already)!

Wintergreen Frost:

Frost was a Christmas trade with the amazing Aintnobuffalo!
He has Dolly Hair: Snowflake, Poison Ivy
And Doll Planet: Oz, Jaded, Aquarius, and Red Wedding.
His forelock was giving me a bit of trouble during the styling process so the wire there is just to hold it down for the picture (still didn't work very well  >_< )

Silver Bells:

Silver was a Christmas swap with someone on Facebook, I don't remember their Arena name  >_<
He has Dolly Hair: Moonlight, Snowflake, Arctic Frost, and Lapis Sapphire
and Doll Planet: Sonic, Silver Lining
For some reason his display side photo is more color accurate than the ND

I'll add some more picture of the others once I figure what's up with my camera, but if anyone has any styling tips in the meantime, I could use all the help I can get with that.

The holidays are hard for everyone to keep on track. you have to be super organized to not get side tracked. I'm having that problem too, there's just too much to do.

I miss snow. I hope you get some, I'm not gonna get any around here.

I have a pumpkin torte recipe that is fantastic, I  actually used it as the base to all my cake type recipes these days and just substitue in other flavors for the pumpkin when needed. I'll post it when I find it :)

Edit: Actualyl found the recipe online: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/pumpkin-torte

I'm going to be making this myself in a couple days :)

Lol! Don't bring me into it, I'm a disaster at knitting. I gotta sit down and get my swap pony finished. :)

I fell off the exercise wagon this week, I started getting dizzy for some reason. Not while walking, but like while just doing chores around the house. Sorry I've been mia a bit.

I've been meaning to reply for a while and just didn't have time to get to it due to contest and due to nearly every single one of my animals deciding it was a good time to have an injury/infection/malady etc. I don't know why this is all happening at once but it's stressing me out like crazy. Some of it's little stuff like some shallow cuts due to getting into a fight with the other dogs (which we have no idea why it happened) or like the cut on our other dog's eye that isn't a new thing, but we've spent all fall working with the vet trying to fix. The new fun stuff is like one of our former feral (he still doesn't liked to be picked up but will be petted) has an ulcer in his moth, I thought it was a tooth infection, brought him to the vet. My vet is a way taking some continuing education classes, some substitute vet was there. First she chews me out cause we're a little over due on the indoor cats' rabies shots. (They are INDOOR cats, not highest priority when we're still paying of $3k in vet bills from the summer/fall and our dogs do have current shots). And then she gets all pissy at me because I didn't know the cat had an ear infection and a rash on his body. As if I could see the rash under all of his fur, it wasn't like he was missing fur or his body was felt hot, and his ears are dark brown/black, not that he would let me look in them anyways. how was i supposed to know? I spent a good portion of the day crying on Tuesday because of all that and probably because I hadn't slept for 48 hours due to the contest. And yesterday I tried to cancel my wedding anniversary so we could starting saving up for the rabies shots (my husband refuses to return my anniversary present). I'll figure somewhere to cut corners and get it all done, state law and all that junk.

I posted in the custom forum, but just in case you don't feel like looking there I'll post a pic here too. HE was really hard to finish, every time I started working on a section of him, I kept running into problems. I'm really happy how he turned out. This is even though I never received my hair I ordered. FedEx is claiming it was delivered but someone must have stolen it off my porch which is weird since I was home all day that day and FedEx never showed up.

Right now I'm starting a holiday custom swap. It's taken me a little while to figure out what I want to do for a design, but I think I got it now. Hopefully my hair will arrive on time this time when I order it.

 @Pokeyonekenobie - You are on it! I never get Christmas presents for people. Honestly it's a lack of money, but even if I had the money I doubt I would be shopping so far in advance. Good for you :)

@Tak - Welcome back! I'm glad you got things resolved. And great job on keeping up on things while you were away. I gotta try to be more liek you with that :)

@CG - Your contest is looking really fun, I can't wait to see who the winners are. I really hope you're audition went well. I used to love to sing, but it kinda got beaten out of me with too many failed auditions.  You were doing so well with the no junk food thing, I was getting jealous! But it's okay, I'm sure you'll get right back on track with that. It's only one day, as long as it spirals into more days I think you'll be fine.

Me on the other hand, I need to kick myself in the butt and get to walking. My husband bought nearly a dozen bags of candy for Halloween even though we only had 4 trick-or-treaters last year and he left it in a giant bowl next to my livingroom chair. I would like to say I had an amazing amount of will power, but I did not. I failed so horribly. >_<

Loving the symbol with the base color!

My husband is going to rub that in my face. I was going to leave him white, but he insisted the body needed to be darker than the symbol "so it will look like night or no one will know it's a moon." Lol!

I like him. He's one of the ones I voted for (aside from my own  ;))  The colors are vibrantly lovely.

Thank you! I haven't voted yet myself. There are so many amazing ponies it's really hard to choose who to vote for. I noticed we both had the same idea on how to deal with the feathers.

Thank you! He's quickly becoming one of my favorites. He's only the 7th pony I've done.

Customs / Genie Custom Contest Entry - Harvest Moon
« on: November 08, 2016, 01:00:53 PM »
This was my entry for the custom contest in the Wishes Do Come True Genie Project group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/1591812564457570/

Harvest Moon was a labor of love, I kept running into little difficulties with him, but I was able to get him done in time for the contest. Though I still haven't received the hair I originally planned to use. FedEx claims it must have been stolen from my front porch. I wonder when FedEx started using invisible drivers and silent running, invisible trucks? 

He is dyed, with sculpted feathers, airbrushed with pearl paint, and haired with three different yarns,

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Re: Explain "Elder Scrolls" to me
« on: November 07, 2016, 10:17:35 AM »
I mean, like, sure someone died and all, but it wasn't ME, AND I passed the trial, AND she had a few golds in her pocket, so all in all it was a great day for me.

These games bring out a dark side in me that I didn't know I had, lol!

First day my husband played Skyrim, he spent 6 hours stealing every single thing in Whiterun that he could find and dumping it into his player house.

OMG Yes! I love the Elder Scrolls games! If you're into learning about the lore & backstories of the game there are a ton of websites to check out. My current main character for ES online is a Bosmer (wood elf)- did you know many Bosmer eat their fallen foes? Yes, I'm a little elf cannibal. I wish there was an option to feast upon the flesh of my enemies in the game but just knowing the lore makes me a little more blood thirsty than usual, lol! I wish I could replay Oblivion; the plain of Oblivion is really interesting and there's one unicorn running wild in the game that you can catch & ride around like a boss!

The Bosmer Wild Hunt thing is crazy! Just make your Bosmer a Werewolf and you can Devour to your little cannibal heart's content! :)
