It's your turn

I was looking at the counter for this blog and low and behold, there are a few of you that are reading it!  I want to say thank you and as I learn how to do this your patience is much appreciated. 

I would like some feedback, do you want more 'Adventures at TSI' articles, more about the hard core 'What we are working on' or finally 'Adventures in the Miller home'?  Trust me the others will still creep in occasionally but I want this to be something that you all enjoy.  I have my personal preference but I will see what you all say.

This weekend we are going to be set up at the Iowa State 4-H Horse Jamboree, on Campus at Iowa State University.  Please stop by and check us out.

Balance

Balance is something that I have been struggling with for quite a while it had been because there was not enough work.  Now this is finally starting to be enough work, which is a great thing and a neccesity, so I have to figure out how to make this work with the family.  I am sure that all working moms have the same struggles.  Mine is a challenge because I don't always work traditional hours.  So, when I am gone for weekends why do I feel quilty?  Todd is a great dad and very capible of taking care of things at home.  I'm also pretty sure that when he has had to work weekends and nights he doesn't carry this guilt with him.  Okay enough whinning! I know I will figure it out, or not but life will go on and I will just keep doing the best that I can.

I did have some fun the other day and played with some flip-flops.  We are getting ready for a Vendor Event this weekend and I will give you all the details in the morning!  Have a great day!

Splash

My wonderful and talented friend and cohort lost her best friend Splash yesterday.  He was an AWESOME horse who could do anything.  I am not exaggerating here.  He came out of one of the Broken Z stock and he did timed events, cowboy challenge, western, english, drove and boy did he LOVE cows!  She did all the training on him.  He was also funny, we would all laugh when ever we were somewhere that Niome was working another horse, he would stare at them and pout.  He was a mama's boy in the best way. 

So, Royal Splash of Robin, you have fun chasing those cows in heaven, we are all going to miss you down here. <3

Short but Sweet

I try to learn something everyday.  Today I learned that I can not take my sleep medications after 10:00 at night and expect to get up in the morning.  But I am up and feel great!  Yesterday was a day full of erands for the family and a Fairboard Meeting last night.  It was our anual meeting, and for the most part I am really looking forward to the Story County Youth Fair.  I will be ebroidering polo shirts for the board and we will be pre-selling some in the Fair Office. 

Anyway, I also got a few pendants poured before I left.  I am really like doing the resin frames, I feel that they are sturdier than the glass pendants and I can do fun stuff like the round one and put the metal intials in them.  And hey if I am going to expierement I might as well get something fun out of the deal, right? 

Niome made some cross saddle charms too, I love the pink and black! :)

I will not become a hoader...

I have come to the realization that I could be a hoarder, seriously I could.  Especially with things to do with Total Show Image.  I get supplies to make several of something, could be pendants, rings, bags, you name it.  I make one or two and then save the rest to make more later or for a custom project.  NO MORE!!!!  We worked last night and I actually have some pendants drying waiting for resin and Niome's made some saddle charms, or really whatever someone else wants them to be. 

I also worked on a daily to do list, if you haven't noticed I tend to be a lot scatterbrained so I am hoping that this will help me keep focused and working!
