more tags and horses…


Yesterday was spent doing a bit of laundry, reading blogs, and adding bakers twine to some of the gift tags…. A low key but good day.

Then last night I had my horseback riding class, which went pretty good except for one little part. When I went to pick the horse’s feet, the horse decided he didn’t want me to so he kicked my knee. I am totally okay, save for the nice bruise I have now. I was standing close like you are supposed to, so he couldn’t get much force in his kick but I suppose a bruise is to be expected anyways since he was quite a bit bigger than me:) Oh and I asked someone else to finish picking his feet after that! :)

I listed the above three sets of tags in my etsy shop if anyone is interested….

This morning I bought some scrapbooking paper and a bit of cardstock. The results…

It was actually sort of fun to punch all of these out. Well, until my hand starting hurting from pushing the punch:) The ones on the far right are some old piano music that I glued to cardstock. I wasn’t sure if those tags would turn out, but I like the results. Now I just need some etsy orders or something so I can use a couple of these tags:)

Oh and I can show the swap package I had been working on since my partner got it in the mail today…. (more pictures of the contents on my flickr page.)

I think I know what my next couple of projects are going to be, and I am fairly excited… Hopefully the projects will turn out the way I plan:)

The things I have been up to lately….

Finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I wasn’t crazy enough to go to the bookstore at midnight, but I did go the next morning at 8am. (I also forced myself not to read the whole book in one sitting, although I did carry it pretty much everywhere I went until I finished it:)

Made another purse set for my etsy shop… This one includes a zippered pouch along with the tissue pouch and keychain.

Contemplating what project I want to start next…

Pretending I have a coupon at the craft store, when I really don’t so as to get a discount. (Karyn suggested it first!) I bought a tag punch, but I don’t have any paper to use it on yet… (I wasn’t going to buy the punch unless I got the discount, so I didn’t want to get anything else just in case.)

Finishing up and mailing out my swap package….

Taking photos of the cats….
