Made With Love by Kat

Two spreads for you today! Even though the album is about Luke and me, I couldn't resist including just a few photos of my beautiful horse, Chirma. The cute cards are from the Becky Higgins Sweet speciality set.  My friend Zoe died last year, and even though I'm not religious, I do sometimes wonder if she's watching over me somewhere. I have a thing now that finding white feathers is a sign that she's around - and on the morning of the championships I found one... and we won! Thanks Zoe, hope I made you proud. I kept the feather, so I included it here.  The second spread is from our trip to Yorkshire for friend's 30th. I wasn't sure I loved these cards individually, but I loved  the way this layout looked when they were combined together. 

So yes, I haven't blogged for a while. This is becoming a regular occurrence. I may have mentioned my horse, Meg, in previous posts, well I have spent most of the summer in and out of the horse hospital (the horspital?) with her trying to get her leg fixed. Sadly it can't be done and she has had to be retired - although she doesn't mind so much, now she gets to eat grass and roll in the mud all day. However, that's not the end of my competitive dressage career - as there is a new horse on the way! She's called Chirma Van Weltevreden and we have imported her from Holland, the Land of Dressage. Here's some pictures: Obviously now I have two ponies to pay for I need to make some extra pennies, so I'm offering readers of my blog 10% off in my Folksy shop all this week (until November 12th). Refunds will be issued by Paypal once the item has been bought - just message me on Folksy to let me know you're a blog reader! I also do have some new stock waiting to ...

Well the craft market at the Midsummer Festival this weekend didn't go brilliantly for me thanks to the rain, but lots of people did take business cards so hopefully they will go home and order online from the cosiness of their houses. But look how pretty my stall looked! And all made on a budget of about 50p, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune on display things: Of course, the highlight for me was lovely Thomas, the Clydesdale horse who had his shoes remade (they were huge! ) and gave small children rides up and down Churchgate. He was adorable.
