Get you some friends who let you wax on about clothing, that they mostly know nothing about. (Funny story, outer jacket is Iranian, inner is central Asian. Why? 😂)
Hannah noticed that the pocket hole is on the front seam instead of the middle seam, making it easier to reach! I love those little details.

The Labyrinth Masquerade Ball is always such a good time to bring the fantasy out to play!

It is always so fun to attend The Labyrinth Masquerade Ball, but seeing friends I rarely get to see, makes it even better!

In progress photo of my pieced (not yet quilted) Persian style jacket, combining my mom’s hobby (quilting) and my own! The cotton flannel lining is also sewn, so now it’s time to combine them!

I never posted my gryphon outfit for Crocker Art Museum’s Theme Party ArtMix earlier this month.
Thank you Joshua Frederick for all of the help with painting the wings and headpiece! I love how it turned out and we were two beautiful gryphons together.

The audio is so perfect for us. I started riding Eowyn solo last year and it’s been the most liberating thing ever. I LOVE riding with my friends, but not having to plan meetups or schedule things is so nice. I’ve been traveling solo (with horse and cat) for years now and I plan to keep doing that the rest of my life!
Also, saddle gushing post! I’ve been a rather diehard specialized endurance saddle fan for over 5 years (for trail, not arena work). But we did just over 9 miles today and my Lovatt & Ricketts Saddles Rubicon saddle gives it a run for its money! With the added benefit of being perfect for arena work too! We love a saddle that can do both!

Lots of things I need to work on, but I had a grand time at war last week.

My mom is a quilter. She’s asked me for a few years to give her scraps of my cotton fabrics so she could do something with them. I ended up asking her if she could piece together parts so I could make a cold weather Persian jacket out of it. Kind of combines her hobby and my own! It’s going to look amazing when I’m done. 😍

Going to England for the first time in a few months! I already have a day with the V&A collections organized, but what else should I do? I’ll have a few days to myself in London.
Typical touristy stuff like the museums, but anything specific like areas or restaurants that I should visit?
