Hobby Slump and Covid

My backyard during the snowstorm.

Neighbor's backyard after the snow storm.

(Sorry, the pics are outdated. There's a LOT more snow at my house now.)


The first half of December was really good. The second half was not so good. Don't get me wrong, Christmas is always very special and wonderful (especially when spent with family), but getting Covid immediately after is not fun. I was down with it for about a week.
January's been bad too. I fell into a hobby slump after my Covid, and just haven't been doing much. All of my chronic conditions flared too, so it sapped both energy and ambition. (I'm doing better now, just a few lingering issues which should be cleared up at my next Dr appointment.)
Since I last wrote, I have *checks notes, becomes concerned about personal spending habits* more than thirty new model horses to write about. Among them is a very special little fella who I am very excited to show off. Fingers crossed this snow stops flying soon so I can snap some good pics of him!
Oh, I also have the collab horse. ;)

In the meantime, enjoy some random pics of my camera roll depicting some current works in progress. I apologize for the horrific mess that is my desk.








Closing thought: Would any of my readers like to see a giveaway featuring a collection of miniatures? I'm thinking things like polymer clay model horse acc., mini candies (like pictured above), mini chip bags, etc. Let me know in the comments!!

  3. I like your Winter Wonderland photos!! (Am glad that I don't have to trudge through it though! We barely have any snow on the ground--but the temperatures and wind chills haven't been fun!)
    Don't know it is --but it seems as though more and more hobbiests are falling ill lately!! I do have that you are feeling much better and that your mojo is coming back!
