Hobby Room and Shelving Update!

April has been a long month, and we’re only a little more than halfway through. 😅 I’ve had lots of customs on the desk, but the most exciting (and time consuming) project has been moving my collection back into the hobby room after getting my new carpet.

These shelves are twelve feet long and twelve inches wide.

They hold about 330 members of my display herd. (There are a few dozen other ponies sprinkled around the room, and a herd of about 50 Schleich models that are in storage.)

I was so excited to get all of my collection back on their proper shelving! The stablemate herd grew considerably since the “evacuation”, and I did have to break out my extra acrylic riser for them.

My Cantering Warmblood conga count is up to eighteen! I also have a few bodies of her that I will (eventually) customize.

My next post will feature a few new herd members I have gotten in the last couple weeks! Only one of them is pictured in this post. . . (Hint: he’s wearing a purple halter!)

Thanks for reading! 💜

A Sad Happening

You ever just feel like throwing a hissy fit?

Sadness. Yesterday, I logged on to my Laptop to discover all of my horses' show photos and all my general model horse photography was cleared. They are not in any of the trash/recycling folders, and I did not do anything to them. I hadn't opened the folder in over a week (the images I'd been using for the blog are in another folder). I did everything I could, but I kept coming up empty handed. All that's left are some undiscoverable and unusable shortcuts on my desktop.

So today I start again. I start making charts, to try and get new show photos for 300+ show models. I lost some photos of horses that I don't even own anymore, so they are gone forever. I lost some of my documentation and reference images, it's all gone. I've tried everything. So for right now, all I have are random, low-quality odds 'n' ends which were in other folders (there is not a ton).

I'm thinking that maybe while I go through the next six months to a year of trying to re-do all my work, I may feature some horses on here. Just some photos and information on them. Like I do with new arrival posts, but these won't be new arrivals. Does that sound like something you would be interested in seeing on here every once in awhile? Let me know in the comments. :)
