My 2025 Deluxe Collector Club "Darius" Stablemate Models! While I like all 4 of the deco colors, I got lucky with getting my top choice of the gold Florentine! 🪙 The appaloosa is also gorgeous! Dark coat & lovely markings. #breyer #breyerhorses #breyerstablemates #breyermodels #breyermodelhorses

The tiny plastic ponies have arrived! 😁🎉🐎 ...Now to think of fun colors to paint them... eventually. 😅 #modelhorses #breyerhorses #TooManyPoniesToPaintAndTooLittleTime

Since today's Whimsical Horse Wednesday is October 1, here's a nice little lineup of Halloween plushes and stablemates! (Plus one Breyerfest plush, because he lives on the mantel year round!) #modelhorses #plushhorses #breyerhorses

It looks like I'll get my new 'Computer' (not reading!) glasses today in the mail as well as the Breyer stablemate set. Not bad for a Thursday! 😁 I am viciously curious if the 'computer' prescription will actually work... not too optimistic though. (Zenni Optical $20 test glasses ftw! 🥸)

Spooky season is officially upon us. 🎃👻

Kicking off October the only way we know how… with a howl! 🐺🍂 #ambassadorwolf #spookyseasonishere

I've added a new #Breyer #horse page to my collection for the #Halloween horse Ratspuin - who was one of my minor Grails! Horses, Halloween, and rats - what's not to love? 🐴🎃🐀 #BreyerHorse #ModelHorse aywren.com/horses/horse...

The other horse I wanted to share for today's #modelhorse prompt was this appaloosa (that I also don't own) that I absolutely LOVE but I can't find a good studio link! 😭 It's a Thoroughbred Mare sculpted by Carol Williams and painted by Liz Shaw. www.equineresindirectory.com/showhorse.as...

Tomorrow is the start of my local #NaNoWriMo group's nano-replacement event and I'm poking at the sleepy beast that is my writing muse. I've been doing art/coding/gaming and... everything but writing lately. Hopefully this will get me back in gear and putting words on all sorts of pages again. 🤔

There -is- context of previous strips in which this makes a little more sense, but... Consort Notte with the Walrus! 🤣😂🤣

For a silly response to this #modelhorse prompt: these are not models I own, but taking a time machine back to 1990's Breyer... (thanks to Identify Your Breyer!!) this is what we used to have as options! Polkadots! 😂

It's a bit of a grey overcast day here, so let's brighten up folk's stream with LOTSA SPOTS! 😁 Today's #modelhorse prompt covers all versions of appys from few spots to leopards appaloosas and all the dotty goodness in-between (even no-spots, I suppose, if you -must- 😂)! Show me your ponies!! 🎉🐎🎨

Tomorrow is the release date for SILVER AND LEAD, the nineteenth book in the October Daye series. It should be hitting Kindles for the East Coast in about three hours. For everyone who's still on this ride with me, thank you. I am so appreciative. I hope to see some of you in the coming weeks!

The long, dark Tuesday morning of the soul

Happy Tongue-Out Tuesday, furriends! 😜 Sometimes when life gets tough, just stick your tongue out at it. A little silliness keeps us sane… now go enjoy your day! Don’t forget to spread kindness and love whenever you can; the world always needs it ❤️ #corgi #corgicrew #corgisky

More beauty for beauty’s sake ❤️

I never think about how I'm going to crop these things and it's becoming a problem. I refuse to make the horns shorter, though.

Never give up on your dream that one day, you will finally have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder.

Oh! It #rabbitday!!! How can something so small be so full of rage?

Among the biggest lies the devil ever told, somewhere at the top has to be, “you can sit down for twenty minutes and then start cleaning, you will definitely get up in twenty minutes.”

Here's a quick bit of silly RPG filk to brighten your mornings! 😂 (I stumbled over it looking for an incremental play through to listen to whilst I code) youtu.be/U0SGSW0DkEE?...

Me: Time to prep my schedule for the week. Anxiety: *bangs pots and pans while blowing a vuvuzela* Me: I shall be so productive.

I found a poem in the silk lining of her coat, restless as mercury, slithering, and then bumping between stitches. It hummed in cerulean syllables, slipped from pocket to cuff~travelling like a whispering tide that stilled for me, but always slid beyond her touch. #MPPrompt #poetryprompt

Out of curiosity I did a Skircle for myself and was pleased to find a nice mix of model horses, cartoons, pets/animals, and actual people photos. 😂 In general though, if I'm following you it's 'cause I like what you post and think you're my sorta Cool Kid 👍 (even if you have no clue who I am)

Still pleased with this illo I did in 2013 modernfarmer.com/2013/12/robb...

Her aloofness acted as her escutcheon. Her coat of arms was emblazoned with her wry sarcasm. She hadn't always been so standoffish, but events of her life had jaded her. Internally, she wished things were different, but betrayal was a monstrous event to overcome. #vss365

One of my favorite misty morning photos

If you coin enough phrases, can you exchange them for bills? Are there counterfeit phrases? If you coin too many phrases, is that bad for the linguistic economy?

I decided it was well past time to embrace the 'least viable option' and reset the terrain tiles to simple colors for the alpha. I kept tweaking the pixel art again and again... instead of getting the game playable! 😅 Good note, everything's working again and I'm back to balance testing! 🥂 #gamedev

My pick for this #modelhorse prompt was... Breyer's traditional scale Marguerite Henry's Stormy! 😁❤️ I've had this model (and Misty) ever since the mid-80's and read Misty of Chincoteague until the book poor almost gave up the ghost. 😂 T'was one of the first horse books I read and a fond favorite!

This made me check mine and yes, I've owned Martha.net for a similarly startlingly long time now. o_O; <-(ancient emoji as proof of my usenet days) I did have emails prior to that, but the various providers went out of business looong ago. An Old, I can haz. 😭

Goats with ulterior motives, just in time for spooky season. 🐐🧙‍♀️ #blackphillip #wip #sketch #art

Today's #modelhorse prompt is all about the younglings! 😁 I was looking over the shelves trying to think up a good scavenger hunt idea and saw a classic quarter horse foal poking it's nose out... so baby horses it is! 😂🐎

I finally got the Saturday Story Prompt archives looking good! The newer images are less colorful than the old ones... but the old ones took forever. 😅 I really should start these up again. 🤔 #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity 3500+ prompts in the archive! martha.net/category/wri...

...okay yeah, that was another good prompt from the universe. Small splurge for me with model horses, small splurge for Blinking Guy! win-win 😁

So apparently I -will- be getting that one stablemate set I've been eyeing... 😂

Juriaan will be available to Collector Club members tomorrow at 1pm EDT! #modelhorses #breyerhorses

I had to go digging to find a chestnut (I have SO many bays! 😂). This is the Breyer traditional scale Dream Weaver (model #833 from 1991) on the Black Beauty mold... who has spent several decades causing shelf avalanche events with his conga line herdmates. (The Running Stallion aids and abets!)🤦‍♀️

It's that kinda week, so for today's #modelhorse prompt I figured I'd dip back into the basics! 🐎 Time to scour your shelves for the most basic of horse colors (aka 'brown')... hopefully this one will be an easy scavenger hunt! 😁 (I have so many bays, this may take me a min! 😂)

Stop what you’re doing and look at the new JWST images! Uploading a picture won’t do them justice, so here yah go: science.nasa.gov/missions/web...

Another photo of this gray classic Arabian stallion. Would probably look better against a different background.

This Breyer western prancer was one of the first models I ever got (probably at a house sale). #modelhorse

I very rarely buy model horses at the moment (as I am trying to use up my -existing- body box first) but Breyer's Deluxe Horse Collection stablemate set has a whole bunch of molds that I haven't customized yet... and it gives me Gollum feelings! 😂 www.breyerhorses.com/collections/...

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

I normally sell handmade magnets and tiny #handbound books of Saturday Story Prompts at the #craftfair that my Mom runs in October... but this year I'm pondering trying something new. 🤔 I have no idea what that something -is- and Oct 25 is not that far away... so it feels a little like NaNoWriMo. 😂

Today's #modelhorse prompt is all about the future! What's in the cards for your herds? Is your fortune crystal clear or do you have a foggier future? 🤔

Bless you! www.worldofmoose.com/products/dal...

Happy fall stoat day
