OK, I love horses! I have since I was a little girl (I got this from my mom who also loved and owned a horse growing up) I had one too! Until I graduated from HS.
Well a friend took me riding a week ago Saturday. We went to Malabar Farms and it was truly gorgeous! The weather was perfect, we rode all afternoon, towards the end of the ride I had decided I was getting another horse one way or another. We were almost back to the horse trailer when my beautiful horse~Rain~first stumbled, then spooked from a deer, off I went, but not before tangling my right foot in the stirrup. Well, we were on a trail and it took the park rangers with EMS about 30 minutes to find us. Anita had a cell phone (I am so thankful!)Talk about feeling foolish! I had about 10 people looking down on me, an EMT starting an IV, as I sit on the ground covered in weeds. Then they splinted my ankle which was kinda just hanging there, load me on a stretcher and pop me into the back of a 4 wheel drive to get to the ambulance. So that night I had a 2 1/2 hour surgery. I am now the proud owner of 8 pins, a couple screws and a plate all covered with a cast. I went home last Sunday with instructions to elevate toes above nose every 45 min for 10 days, no weight bearing for 6 weeks followed by a boot for 5 weeks.
So, I am trying to look on the bright side~~more time to read, stitch, and design!! The first week really went by in a fog, due in large part to the pain meds I was on.
I'm feeling better and almost have a design finished! I also am about done with a small booklet of designs "Her Wicked Best" Anyhoo, thanks for listening. and looking at my pics. I am still determined to get a horse, however, I will ALWAYS wear boots when riding!! Back to the Dr tomorrow to get a new cast. I am so looking forward to getting outside! Really, the things we take for granted....

Simply Eat Crow

I met Terri Duskin at In The Spirit Of Friends show at Malabar Farms. She has the coolest witchy things, which of course caught my eye!
Simply Eat Crow is the name of Terri's business, you can find her things on E-bay and in her shop.
Here are some pictures of Terri's neat shop and a few of a memorial to Seneca John~an Indian who was killed for supposedly practicing witchcraft. (the memorial is right down the road from Terri's shop: The Queen Bee and house.

Terri wrote an awesome poem about Seneca John, which I am going to make a design from! The pictures of the side of the memorial are of pudding stone, a really cool formation of different rocks.

Stay tuned for a new Etsy Shop~Her Wicked Best~ in which Terri and I will be displaying our wares!
