Out of the woodwork!

Hello blogland, just a random post to say hi to everyone and check in.

Hannah is 13 months old now, and she's on the go. She started walking slowly about a month ago, but this week she got a confidence boost from a friend's son, and now is out of control. I actually took her on a little hike on the trails today! She's amazing.

Taking after Mommy

This is what I look like, too, after I finish an art project.

 I've been freelancing like crazy, because I got laid off again in early February. Thank you for the terrible luck, Universe! But actually it's been kind of ok. I've been doing lots of different work including logos and fine art. If anyone is looking for a horse portrait, web work or design work, I'd really appreciate the referral! My Etsy store is located at www.etsy.com/shop/polarsquaredesigns.

I designed the RISPCA's annual Benefit Horse Ride design again this year. I think this is year #6. It came out nicely and it is always cool to see them on t-shirts everywhere the day of the ride, which this year is the first weekend in May.

There is still a serious lack of horses in my life and though I sometimes feel sad about it, I know they'll come back to me at some point. I did go riding a few times in February thanks to Maddy, and had a blast.

I haven't seen Lucy since about November. We had a really terrible winter here and there was no way I was going to take Hannah to an unheated barn to visit her. Now that it's nice(r) out, I need to contact Kayla and see if we can go bring her some carrots!

Hope all is well with each of you.
