I have been very slow in blogging lately due to to the amount of time and effort it is taking to keep our fields horse free.
Back on the 13th of February i posted a photo of a gelding which had as I thought been abandoned,it was soon joined by 5 pregnant mares.
Since then the horses have been illegally put onto our fields ,we remove them and they are then put back sometimes within hours. We are on our own dealing with the problem as the law in this country does not make Fly Grazing an offence. It is causing a great deal of stress and we are never sure what we will find when we wake up.
The horses are in a very poor condition.
Razor wire has been considered,but we do not want it to look like a combat zone.
On a brighter note I have done just a little art/craft
Mothers day card
Birthday card
Journal page swap All You Need Is Love
Journal page swap Cupid
I made these earrings with images which can be purchased from Palma
http://athena-myfirstbloggy.blogspot.co.uk/
I also made a pendant and have started a bracelet
Palma creates some wonderful art and her Etsy shop is well worth a visit.
I received a cute pin from Kathy
and two journal pages from Julie
Also from Julie a St Patrick ATC
I have my own bead sorter
who sometimes arrives in her own transport
She also like to play with boxes
and black Labradors
And just to finish ,it is a strange world when your 85 yr. old Father recommends a good APP.
This one is great fun.
I love the video!!! They are so cute together! Labs are the best dogs, so nice with kids! Meda is always very calm and quiet when my friends little daughter plays with him, it's like he knows he shouldn't make any sudden moves when she is around. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you still have problems with horses, I thought the Police could do something about that. What about RSPCA?
And your creations are gorgeous, as always. What a great idea for those bottle caps!
xoxo!
I am trying to decide on my favorites here, Mary! I think it might be the bottle caps, only to be topped by Princess X! Like everything you've made! It all makes me smile...except the horses. They do look like they are in bad health. I can't believe PETA or some organization hasn't jumped on this and rescued them. This would be all over our news here and the owners would be hunted down and arrested. Maybe with the economy, there aren't funds available? Horses are expensive to feed and these need to see Vets which is expensive over here. Good luck with that situation, my friend, and tell me what you used in your bottle caps! XXX

ReplyDeleteKit my brain must be somewhere else I thought I had replied, The images as I said are from Palma and I just use Ranger Glossy accents to keep them in place.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Sorry to hear about your horsy issue- If I could I'd have them up here,(my daughter would be so happy) who could treat animals like that- bet it's pikeys! They have no respect for anyone/thing. Surely the rspca can help- the animals are ill-maintained and in desperate need of attention and treatment...it is animal abandonment...I assume they're not tagged or tattooed? It is also tresspass, damage to property and theft...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I'd deal with it- I'd be furious and out for blood, but crying over the horses too, lol. Good luck with sorting it...
Great art too! Love the bottletops! So creative....have a good weekend, xxx
I agree with Kit. It's hard to pick my favorite part of your post here. The cards you created are sure to bring smiles. Hope you don't mind if I use a couple of the messages. And I do like the bottle caps. What I need is one of those crafty circle cutters. Always love looking at your latest pics of Miss X. Such fun. Sorry about the horse situation. Hope you find a more comfortable solution for you and the horses.
