New Tools

Some of my tools look like they’ve been through a war. A lot of times the tools just aren’t pretty but work. This one, plus the others from the pack have expired. This one came in a set of three that were mini.
My sister said she also wanted new tools so she could start making jewelry again. We drove to Michaels and we both came home with our own set. She bought a different one. This is mine. I picked it because the tools were my favorite color. Purple.

 It also has storage compartments on the other side. So organization! Even though I haven’t figured out what should go there…..but progress….

Binge Watching While Saddle Making

I love my new Microsoft surface. I also love Netflix. The two combined equals endless hours of binge watching Tv shows while tack making. While I did watch shows on my old tablet, I like the surface better.
My sister introduced me to the crime drama, The Killing, and the show has been a part of the making of this saddle. It’s a western sidesaddle.It still needs parts added, but I like it.  Just like the show.

Western Bridle

I made a western bridle today (or yesterday). I don’t consider it a new day until I go to sleep and wake up. :)
It’s my best western bridle that I’ve made. I never expected it would take as long as it did or that I would be finishing it at 2 am, but I’m happy with it! It has some minor adjustments that need fixed, but I like it.
I put it on my new Travis, even though it wasn’t made for him.

Will get better pics when fix the straps!
