Freezing

Hello everybody!
The weather here has been painfully cold, I'm not really used to this kind of cold, and it started snowing when my boyfriend left for university and the cold came with it.
I was going to do some winter photography (outside) but it's so cold and I got swamped with projects, tests and exam prep.

My flat-screen TV also broke and doesn't work anymore. What a great start to this new year, huh?

But these are the photos that I took during the holiday break.

That's all for this post!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Have a very wonderful and jolly day!

W for Winter Photoshoot!

Hello lovely subscribers, bloggers and readers!

Yes, I finally am posting a blog entry! Oh, 'tis been long!

For this Wintery Photoshoot, I used a postcard as my background. For the Stablemate scale and the Mini Whinnie scale, it works perfectly fine!

There was a new horse at the stable park and he was so cute! I have more pictures of him on my phone, so a post all about it will come later!

Anyway, onto the Wintery Photoshoot!

This is how the setup looks like ^

Snap a photo!

And ta da!

I'm using cotton balls as piles of snow...

This year, Wild n Free is going to be our holiday horse,

Seeing doubles?

Every horse gets a picture!

But only some get to actually be in this blog post!

Dogs are welcome too! This one is really cute, I don't remember what my boyfriend and I named her... But when I will, I'll let y'all know!

Painted Lady is this girl's name,

A snowman tutorial is going to come soon too! 

That's all for this post!

Thank you for reading, and have a fantastic day!

Absent

Hello viewers, readers, and fellow bloggers!
I know I have been absent for a very long time and I'll be honest... I have been sick since Halloween (looks like getting sick on Halloween has become a tradition, as it is my 4th time).
Then my boyfriend's and mine anniversary came up and I have been unmotivated to blog or do anything since September.

But here are the pictures of Halloween "diorama":

I did a little bit of editing with the photos to make them more fun looking :)

I bought some Halloween carved pumpkin lights from the Dollar Store and they are coming quite handy...

I had to use my mom's camera and it's also a FujiFilm but of a newer model... And Guess what? The Pictures SUCK! Too bad at the time my camera was charging (takes 10 hours to charge)!

A little Horsey Trick-or-Treating is nice too :)

How about the whole foal crew?

Oh and that blue splatter was supposed to be "blood" but because of the blue it turned blue... OH WELL! The SM scale Border Collie is soo cuteee!

Foals out and about! I used the gluegun residue to create "spider webs" 

Mmm... Spider Webs

And used my chinese statues for a little fun! They are all so dusty!

The whole idea I was like a "Haunted House" except Meadow... or Forest...

And a few dragons to scare the foalies :)

That's all I ended up taking on Halloween... Because on November first we had our first snow!

SM Scale Prop Day!

Hello everybody again!
So, I didn't have anything to do today....and that's how this whole prop day started.

While watching CBC Heartland, I was inspired to make more SM scale jumps!

Every jump starts out as a very rough copy, for example this one is still unpainted!

And then there's the finished product! This one still has little glue gun's "hairs" sticking out and but I will remove those later and add another coat of paint!

And then one jump inspiration.... I ended up making 2 more! 

This black and blue jump, 

And this wooden dowel cross country jump, 

I saw this design on Pinterest and I thought to myself: I got to recreate it!

This water jump, that currently Prelude is trotting on, was made a few days ago and still needs a little tweaking but so far so good!

And I decided to give it a try with the Barrel racing too, since I do have this guy! I hope to get the actual plastic barrels that Breyer has in that Barrel Racing set!

If anyone wants a tutorial on any of these let me know! I'd love to make a tutorial :)

Let me know your critique as well in the comments please :D

That's all for this post!

Thanks for reading,

Another Diorama?

Hello everybody!

I made a hedge! Yes you can see those two wooden dowels sticking out, but that will be covered once I get my supply of moss.
But for now,  I must say it looks like a "wild" hedge...A hedge that hasn't been trimmed for a while and became rather unruly.
But this is a basically the view of what is behind of where I work.

My boyfriend also got me this awesome horse poster, it's a mare and a foal, and it looks so cute! I can't wait to actually see it in person and hang it up in my room!
