Horseshoe Wreath

There were days in the past when I spent time cussing the skittish horse I rode because he was standing on my foot with this metal device nailed to his hoof.  No amount of pushing him or elbowing him in his belly would convince him to move even a little bit.   I have found a better use for these metal shoes!!!  Thanks to the Mr. and his ability to weld, I was able to give to my good friend Barb, this versatile door wreath.  Red for Christmas, pink for Easter, red, white and blue for the Fourth of July and so on and so on. The first picture shows the unpainted shoes placed in the pattern I decided would work and the second has been primed, painted and adorned with two western handkerchiefs.
One thing we discovered was that horseshoes are not cheap, but luckily, they are priced by the pound.  Since, we were not concerned about the weight, we went for the lighter ones. We are struggling now with additional pounds as a result of all of the wonderful food ingested over this past few days.  We had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family, however our children  and their families were missed and each year I think we miss them more.  They are miles and miles away and we have had so very much snow that they would have had bad roads or airport delays I am sure.  I  have discovered that you can't get here from there...where ever that happens to be. New projects are on the horizon, a hair-on-hide, padded headboard in the works, more progress on the previous stained glass piece and painting projects for January...posts to follow.  

So as I try to keep from shoving another piece of fudge in my face..."Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself."--Rita Mae Brown

It is nice. You can swap out bandanas and give it a seasonal look each time. I love that you quoted Rita Mae Brown!

I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any
interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.

Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great photos
or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your
content is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could definitely be one of
the very best in its field. Terrific blog!

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a
quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting
my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure
out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?

Appreciate it!

I leave a response each time I like a post on a blog or I have something
to add to the discussion. Usually it is a result of the passion
communicated in the post I looked at. And on this post "Horseshoe Wreath".
I was moved enough to post a thought :-P I do have a few questions
for you if you tend not to mind. Is it simply me or do some of the comments appear as if they are left
by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post.
Would you make a list every one of your communal pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
