New rugs!

I meant to post these ages ago but oh well. XD I had to take photos with my dad's camera as Nigel's still away being (hopefully) fixed. :(

First up is Freya who gets a nice blue checked rug with matching headcollar. It's really soft and comfy looking and is probably my favourite of the lot.

Then Callisto (recently rehaired too) with a nice little green number. :) It looks a little too small but it does fit her fine, I just needed to pull it over her barrel a bit more.

Paddy gets a nice new stable rug as well. I want to make him a nice turnout at some point too - this one's too nice to get messed up in the field!

Rhu gets a nice cosy stable rug as he's getting on a bit and could do with some extra padding to keep him warm in the winter. I made the fleecy headcollar ages ago.

Likewise, Tegan has a really squishy rug with neck attachment for those really miserable days that are surely on their way! (It actually snowed in town today O__O)

Lyra gets one to match her headcollar. I'm still not sure about the colour scheme but she seems to like it. 8-)

So yeah, that's all for now! I'll have another newbie soon so she'll need some new clothes too... ;)

  1. ...Newbie? Interesting... :3
    I'm so jealous of all the fabric you own. I can't find such small patterns anywhere!

  2. Darnit, now I want to curl up on my bed with the Lion King and make pretty rugs! You do such a lovely job!

  3. Indeed. ;P I've been wanting one in that mould for ages and as she was such a lovely colour I couldn't resist! She's not here yet though so I'm getting twitchy! XD I get my fabric as 'fat quarters' - sold for making patchwork quilts and things. You can get some really brilliant colours and patterns that way!

    Do eeeeeeeet! :D It's very theraputic! (and YAY for TLK! It comes out over here next week and I absolutely can't wait to see it on the big screen again! :D :D)

  4. Is it one of those arabs? xD
    Do you know of any place online where it is sold?

  5. Lovely rugs, the patterns are very realistic - Your pones look very happy and smart in them! I've recently (I say recently... I mean whenever it was last that I had time on my hands to even consider making tack)discovered fat quarters, they're economic and usually pretty unique :)

  6. It is indeed an Arab! I had a hell of a time trying to rehair her though as she had a really wide neck slot and the mohair kept falling out. DX

    Yeah, they come in really handy for fabric exchanges and things too. :D
