Fifth Day of Spotted Dreams Fun Week: Daily Challenge

 Sorry I didn't a get a post out last night! The busy day turned scary in the evening with terrifying tornado warnings and rotating storm clouds skirting our rural town. We were in the basement with our pets for a while. The electricity flashed and the devices were off the internet for a time. I will get the post out sometime, but I'm not sure when.

Today's daily challenge is:

Make a coordinated prop set.

Use any medium you would like! Just at least 3 pieces that coordinate (think of grooming sets, food sets, mini pet care, etc.)

Have fun! And join me at 11:30am for the Q&A. I'm hoping to be on live so I can answer your questions in real time! Thank you for all your questions. :)

Fourth Day of Spotted Dreams Fun Week: Daily Challenge

Good morning! Today's challenge is fun. :)

Design your own decorator model.

(found on tenor - it seemed appropriate for a deco challenge!)

You can paint it if you want to, but the challenge is simply to design one. Pick a mold and design the color and pattern. Bonus points if you sketch it out! I'd love to see (or hear about!) what you do, so tell me in the comments!

Meet me back here at 11:30am for the next flash fun photo show and a Q&A announcement. :)

Third Day of Spotted Dreams Fun Week: Daily Challenge

 Greetings!

Today's daily challenge is a (somewhat) more time-consuming one.

Go through your collection and tag all of your LSQ herd members. (You can do your non-LSQ ones too if you want!)

If you've already done this, go back through and check the tags, making sure they are accurate and adjusting or re-assigning breeds as you see fit. Believe me, it's very nice to have all this done before you need to!

I like to get the Avery pre-strung tags from WM. They are very affordable. :)

Check back at 11:30am for model horse riddle number one!

Note: I forgot to add this in the fun week announcement so I will tack it on here, the 7am and 11:30am posts are scheduled. That means that if you see a post go live but I haven't answered an email or question, it's probably because I haven't seen it. I check in mid-morning and several times in the afternoon, so I will catch it then! I write these posts ahead and have them scheduled so that they will go live right on time and I don't have to worry about missing one. :)

Second Day of Spotted Dreams Fun Week: Daily Challenge

(found on tenor)

Good morning all! Today's daily challenge is:

Think of the one person who has improved your hobby life the most, and thank them.

This could be a parent, sibling, hobbyist, friend, or really anyone else that has played a role in helping you along. Don't be shy! You will never hurt someone's feelings by thanking them. :)

Don't forget to check back at 11:30am for the model horse meme/joke contest!

First Day Of Spotted Dreams Fun Week: Daily Challenge

Welcome to Spotted Dreams Fun Week! I hope you all had an awesome weekend, and are prepared to have even more fun here.

The first thing on our agenda is today's hobby challenge. It is:

Find a good tutorial and learn how to paint hooves on model horses.  

Hooves sound easier than they are! It pays to take in a tutorial or two.

Here are some I turned up on a YouTube search:

• Painting a model horse: Eyes and Hooves Tutorial - YouTube
• How to PAINT Model Horse DETAILS - Hooves & Eyes 🎨 - YouTube
• Model Horse Painting 101: How to Paint Shell Hooves - YouTube
• Painting Model Horse Hooves with Myla Pearce, an airbrush tutorial. - YouTube

I haven't watched any of these specific ones, so let me know in the comments what you thought of them!

Keep an eye out for the flash photo show post coming at 11am. :)
