I want to wish everyone a merry Christmas! Hopefully you enjoyed it and relaxed while spending time with family.
Merry Christmas!
RIP
Wanted to say RIP to the murdered children and others in the Sandy Hook Tragedy. My prayers are with the families.
Here’s one of my favorite poems that was written by an unknown 13 year old boy before he died. My mom is the one who first showed me it and it’s one of her favorite poems too.
I’m Spending Christmas With Jesus This Year
I SEE THE COUNTLESS CHRISTMAS TREES,
AROUND THE WORLD BELOW.
WITH TINY LIGHTS, LIKE HEAVEN’S STARS
REFLECTING ON THE SNOW.
THE LIGHT IS SO SPECTACULAR,
PLEASE WIPE AWAY THAT TEAR.
FOR I AM SPENDING CHRISTMAS
WITH JESUS CHRIST THIS YEAR.
I HEAR THE MANY CHRISTMAS SONGS,
THAT PEOPLE HOLD SO DEAR.
BUT THE SOUND OF MUSIC CAN’T COMPARE
TO THE CHRISTMAS CHOIR UP HERE.
FOR I HAVE NO WORDS TO TELL YOU
THE JOY THEIR VOICES BRING.
FOR IT IS BEYOND DESCRIPTION,
TO HEAR AN ANGEL SING.
I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MISS ME,
I SEE THE PAIN INSIDE YOUR HEART.
FOR I AM SPENDING CHRISTMAS,
WITH JESUS CHRIST THIS YEAR.
I CAN’T TELL YOU OF THE SPLENDOR,
OR THE PEACE HERE IN THIS PLACE.
CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE CHRISTMAS
WITH OUR SAVIOR, FACE TO FACE?
I’LL ASK HIM TO LIGHT YOUR SPIRIT,
AS I TELL HIM OF YOUR LOVE.
SO THEN PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER,
AS YOU LIFT YOUR EYES ABOVE.
SO PLEASE LET YOUR HEARTS BE JOYFUL,
AND LET YOUR SPIRITS SING.
FOR I’M SPENDING CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN,
AND I’M WALKING WITH THE KING!
Saddleseat Prototype
Here is the Saddleseat prototype! It isn’t pretty, that’s for sure, but I know know how everything will fit together. I didn’t make a girth, add stirrups, or anything “extra” since this is my first time trying out the pattern. One of the biggest errors I see is that I need to make a long skirt longer.
Models always lose against pets
When I came home from school today, this was the surprise I got.
Yup, that was the 2011 reserve custom champ at the Breyerfest C/Y show.
Buckbeak may have been able to beat the controversy surrounding him at the show, but he couldn’t win against four paws of kitten-ness. And cute-ness I must add.

| The Culprit who was covered in the green scenic stuff |
Shockingly, the damage wasn’t too bad. Most of his talons are gone and a huge crack in his front leg, but that’s the worse. He was made out of crayola clay which is not very strong.
What I have noticed about crayola clay, and it may be true about other similar clays, is that is defiantly has a short life span. After about a year or two, the clay begins to crumble. So glad that I now use Apoxie!
