WOW, I am a bad person

I am so sorry for not blogging. I don't know why I keep forgetting that I have a blog. Anyway, I have some news. As many of you may have read on Facebook, I did go to the hospital recently. Those who read my posts there, know the story. Plus you also know that I am quitting the ever so nasty habit of smoking. Not only will it do me good, but pretty much everyone else around me. Plus I am making myself remember my mom. She pretty much died due to lack of oxygen when she was on oxygen(Posts from that tragedy are posted here). She also smoked bad. She smoked filterless cigarettes. Those were some serious nasty cigarettes. So I was thinking of starting another blog page, dedicated to my journey of the cigarette quitting. It will be a long and mind blowing experience that I will have to tackle. But I want to tackle it. So. I guess starting tomorrow(10/22/2016), I will be posting. LOL

It's been a while

Howdy everyone, Yea it's been awhile. been busy with crocheting, my ranch blog and just all around stuff. I did get 2 new models. The new Rhapsody and Quelle. Rhapsody looks like the female version of Black Beauty. Same markings and color. But hey, I'm not complaining, She is a perfect addition to my conga. 

As for my crocheting, here are some photo's of an afghan I just finished

 

If your wondering, the pattern is called "Pinwheel". Mikey Silek from the Crochet Crowd posted a video tutorial on YouTube and I learned it by watching it. Nobody knew I was doing this afghan........LOL me and my surprizes. Love them. Here is how I planned for this queen sized afghan

The above photo shows the colors and how many motifs I was to make. When I started, the afghan was going to be a lapghan, but the hubby said no he wanted a blanket for the bed.........so now to photo 2

Well, here is the second half. As you can see, I pretty much doubled everything. What is funny is that I had 4 extra motifs. Why? your guess is as good as mine. But that's ok, I have plans for them. I just need to get to Michael's or Hobby Lobby and find a pillow form.

Well, until next time.
 

 

 

What a is this year going to be?

Recently, I had a friend email me, asking me if I was going to enter Breyer's photo show that they were holding. Uhmmmm.............NO!
Reason? My photo's are NOT up to that type of standard. Yes there are photo's out there that would put mine into the trash compactor(really that is where they need to be anyway). Reason I say that is cause I don't have the resources for better props, better tack etc. Money right now is severely restricted and what money I have left for myself, I have to end up spending on either more bill's or give it to Daniel so he can have his fountain coke fix. This year is going to be a blah year cause I won't be able to buy a whole lot. When I do buy a model, I have to buy it in secret. Then when I do get it here, take what I call "Quickie" photo's and then pack the model up and put it in storage BEFORE the hubby even knows about it.  I don't have time to get everything set up and then take a trillion pictures hoping that at least one of them is showable. So I show with what I can take and be done with it. I already done had a judge tell me that I really need to *in her words* "Fall off the face of the hobby world". Real encouraging isn't it? This judge dq'd all my photo's and put the reason why. I won't get into her reason's. Just that she won't be judging my photo's again........EVER.

Enough ranting :)

 

As promised

As promised, I would post the link to my ranch blog...........well here it is. Be sure to start following it :D

Happy New Year.................

I know I am 18 days late, but up until now, I had nothing to say. 
In the past week in half, there has been 7 deaths to famous people I grew up either listening to(music) or watching on TV.  Sad to see 6 of those die from cancer and 1 dying from complications. 2016 started out sad for the fans. Anyway, I have decided to start another blog dedicated strictly to my models. Any newbies or winnings. Be sure to start following. I will post the link.

Major snow storm or a hoax?

Yup you read right, we are under a blizzard warning here in the Texas panhandle. They say we are suppose to get up to 3 feet of snow, but I don't see that happening. We might get 1 inch, but that's it. Plus this storm was suppose to arrive around 3:00pm but, it isn't here yet. I'm seeing this "Major" storm as a big ole hoax. It has happened before. They said "Yup we have a big snow storm headed for the Texas panhandle. Snow totals up to 2 feet." HAHAHAHAHAHA what a freaking joke. We got NOTHING. Just a small amount of rain and that was it. And people wonder WHY I am so skeptical. 

IF we do get any snow, I will get photo's of it.

Facebook really needs to go by their own standards

A friend on Facebook brought it to his friends attention about a group on Facebook allowing porno and beastiality. He posted the link and being curious, I checked it out. OMG!!!! There was so much of it in the group, I nearly passed out. Plus get this................the group is an OPEN group. So ANY teen under the age of 18 can see this group. I was so appalled by the content that I felt sick. Sick video's and seriously graphic pictures. Child porn was horrid within this group. Several people have reported both the group and it's contents, but yet Facebook REFUSES to remove it. 

Now here is were I find Facebook to be screwy as hell..............I create a group called "Facebook's Most Extreme". Set it to "Secret" and allow members to post nude pictures. BUT not one member EVER posted any child porn or beastiality. THAT group gets shut down. But yet a group that has this shit in it and is an open group is allowed to remain on Facebook? Smells seriously fishy. 

I don't care if I do get kicked off of Facebook. That group HAS to be taken down.
