Forgetfulness

As the title suggests, this post is going to be about my forgetfulness...
Last night, I tried to check IMEHA and I could not sign in and I thought this was odd because a few days earlier everything was fine...
Well, all of the accounts were deleted and I lost a lot of pictures of my horses... Good job Marina (sarcasm intended).
So, now I have to re-do everything because I also decided I don't want to go by "Purple Sunshine Stable" anymore and now it is "EM Stables"

Time to find and upload the pictures!

SM Scale Accessories Haul

Hello everyone! 
I hope you, all, are having fabulous holidays!
I decided to pay the Dollarstore a visit and I am sure glad that I did!
They had a section for Christmas decorations and in that section was also diorama Christmas Village (?) accessories. The shelves for that section were almost empty. 
Now, I wish I went to that store sooner!
But, I did not leave empty handed!


^ I bought this fence with a little tree and mail box and Streetlight set of 2 first.
They had a few different streetlights but I liked the design of this one the best. 
They also had 2 different fence designs. I didn't know which one to pick, so I picked the "bigger" one because I thought the other was a little too small for the Stablemate scale. 
When I got home... It turned out that the fence was actually a little big for the scale...



As you can see, it's a little too big!


Then, I decided to go back to the store and buy the smaller fence and this little statuette set!
The other statuette set that I wanted to buy as well was gone... I felt a little sad that I was late by an an hour or two.


The smaller fence worked better. So, now I am not completely sure with what I should do with the bigger fence...


Then, I decided to fix the streetlights' wreaths...


Ta-da! They are greener and more red and glittery now! I used glittery red nail polish for the bow and the little red berries.


Turn it on and it lights up!



The actual diorama photography will come in the next post!
Stay tuned,

Christmas Horses Trottin' In!

This is what I got for Christmas that is horse related:

- Breyer OF SM ShowStoppers Set
- Breyer OF SM Mystery Foal Family
- Schleich OF Paint Stallion


Now from the last post, I asked to spot the difference in this SM Barn...
The difference is... *drum roll please* the HORSES! Of course!


This beautiful roan mare, on my favourite mold too!


And another beautiful grey mare, on a mold that I didn't have before!


A cute little chestnut running filly (from the Mystery Foal Family Set), 


An adorable little bay scratching colt, 


A cuteling buckskin paint trotting colt!

I know, I know... I was supposed to photograph him in a winter scenery as well, but I kinda got annoyed with the editing... So, I'm just using my IMEHA picture for him!
An adorbling roan scrambling colt!


Here's a picture of someone old, 


and someone new! This guy is the Andalusian stallion from the Mystery Foal Family Set!

Now this one I didn't edit at all, I don't like the way she has turned out so far either. She's not so photogenic
and a new mare from the Mystery Foal Family Set!


And since these guys haven't appeared in the photos lately... Oreo (border collie) and an unnamed calf!

All the foals together!
What did you get for Christmas?

SM Christmas Lights Tutorial for diorama

Hello!
Just a little tutorial on how to make Christmas lights for your barn/stable or diorama :)


That's how the christmas lights look like on my barn


and another picture to follow of course!


Supplies:
- Green metal cord
- Scissors
- Beads (Yellow, Red and Blue)
- Clip




Fold the cord in half and put one bead in the middle... 
Then secure it with a clip, twist it 2-3 times and add another bead
Please excuse my horribly chipping nail polish!



And there you have it!


Any other ideas on the tutorials I should do?
Comment below, please!
That's all for this post,
