Here is a saddle pad View attachment 2396498

Wow! You made that? Beautiful work! I can't show my daughter, she's going to start asking me for custom saddle pads. Lol

I did! I saw the fabric and loved the color. I'm hoping to make a blaze orange one also.

I do way too many things. Haha!
I come from a crafty family and I’m always looking to try new things. I sew, knit, crochet, Bead, wire wrap, carve rock, paint rocks, and other random crafts.
My most recent crafts, wire pet name ornaments.

When I get time I’d like to try opening an Etsy shop. I’ve just been too busy since school started. Normally the cold months are when I have free time, but I’m not sure I will this year.

Wow! That is a lot of cool stuff? Do you go to shows?
how do you assemble your toys? I have the biggest problem with that part.

That seems to be a difficult task for me as well. I made a mandrake for my Daughter's Harry Potter themed room and he's a wee bit wobbly at his arms and ears(?) Lol

Thanks!
No, I’ve never done any shows before. I haven’t even been to any to see how they work.
I use a yarn needle and yarn to join the parts together. Putting them together is actually my favorite part because I feel like it’s a chance to “fix” anything I feel looks wanky. Haha.
I want to try making dolls at some point, but I have bad hands that limit how much I can do. It sucks.

I understand, I have carpal tunnel and collapsed discs in my neck that make it painful to look down for a long time and let me tell you, all arts and crafts require you to look down for at least some period of time. I just do a little at a time and jump around to different projects so I don't stay in one position too long (which doesn't hurt my feelings because I love doing all sorts of things!).

Yes! I think that’s why I never stick to just one thing. Too much repetitive work kills me and I lose days to letting my hands rest. The shooting pain keeps me awake at night and that just makes things worse.

Is it carpal tunnel for you as well? My hands aren't perfect but surgery made a world of difference for the shooting pains that used to wake me up in the middle of the night.

I knit and crochet...and sew, and make jewelry...and junk journals.... and, and, and lol. I’m always down for a new craft

I don't know how I missed this earlier, what is a junk journal? Lol, is that like a scrap book?

I think so. It’s what my mom has. I haven’t talked to any drs about it because I know the options they have given her over the years. I’m afraid surgery might cause permanent damage and take away what use I have right now.
And needles make me light headed so I don’t really want any shots:/
I guess I don’t know if medically treatments have changed over the past 10yrs.
