Aha! I was able to take photos in some better light, and updated the images in the original post.

Hmm, the planning part took the longest time. Once I got all the supplies together, I'd say it was probably between three and four weeks. I limited my daily time on it to two-hour intervals so I didn't get frustrated or rushed. 

Glad to see some familiar faces!

Personally I've had less time to make customs, though I try to post some once in awhile. Like someone else said, a few per year instead of nearly one per month. Some of my projects have branched out into plushes and other weird things lol.

I don't believe I have any customs of yours, CSA, but I've always been inspired by them!

I noticed activity dropping sometime during MLP:FIM. I'm sure some of it is because social media platforms are sucking away the pony people, but I also feel like some of it is because G4 was The Current Thing so there was just less interest in the other generations of ponies and pony art. I remember back when I joined it was G1 and G3 customs posted in the forum, then about 4-5 years ago (where has the time gone?) most of the customs posted were G4. Now less people post in Customs, but the ponies displayed there are from any generation it seems, so I think maybe some of that added G4 fanbase has moved on.

I do miss when things were more active; I remember when posts would drop off the front page within two days. In the Customs forum, my post from December is still on the front page. I'm glad to see there are some old-timers here like me!

Significant Other? It has been challenging at times, but my husband and I are very much in love. We've been married four years, but together for fifteen. We first realized our growing feelings when we talked and realized we were both altering our normal schedules to spend time together.

Your Job/Career? Some jobs are better than others, but I've never loved any job. If its a good job, chances are it will be tarnished by having to work with someone unpleasant. People suck.

Your Residence? I have a love/hate relationship with my place. It's nice that its mine, my nest, and all. The location can be difficult, especially during inclement weather, and the local HOA is so aggravating I can't describe it. Here's an example of their idiocy: any live Christmas trees must be removed from the house by New Year's Day (!), yet you're not allowed to put them outside or in the dumpster, and the boy scout pick up day for trees is January 7th.

With Yourself? I'd like to say yes. But honestly, it depends on my mood heh.

How Do You Know When You're In Love? You know its real love when you are Furious with them over something, but find that it doesn't diminish your affection for them and you can work through the problems together.

In my pony herd, I have Daddy and Baby Apple Delight, but no Mommy, so I've decided Applejack is the mommy in this family!

This looks like fun, I won't get to it today, but I'll start working on something soon Lots of time in quarantine... :p

Thanks for the assist, Pumpkin Tart!

Spanish Mommy Sweet Celebration is in very good condition. I bought a huge lot of mostly baity ponies, but found a gem in the mix and cleaned her up nicely!
