Sorry it didn't work out for you. And again, if you were closer, you'd be able to do that at RU's. She'd LOVE to have someone help her in exchange for riding time. And, while she couldn't really give you lessons, I could give you enough pointers to get you started until you were able to afford lessons.

thanks :)
Itll work out one way or another, mabe im just meant to wait untill spring lol.

in good news, i have a new loveseat, $50 inc delivery...means im now officially broke till the end of the month but its a good fit for the space...
it ALMOST perfectly matches my existing chair, this on has more of a bight undertone than the yellow in the current one and its a heavier pattern, but its the same colors and still a repeating peony pattern so they actually look like they work together without a slipcover.
Theres also enough room underneath (its skirted) for me to put a t least 1 underbed box, so i can still use that space under there for a little bit of storage. (probably for blankets and such)

obviously the addition closes in the room a little bit, but theres still plenty of room to walk through and the ottoman form my current chair will fit between the 2 with legroom to spare to be used as a coffee table as needed
it does block a little bit of the light comming through the window, but because of the actual window sizes in this house, anything i put there would have done the same. and it doesnt block enough light to be a real problem...plus an added bonus is because of the height of the back of it...when i sit in my comfy chair and look out my window, instead of seeing the neighbors house and post office across the street, i now just see the trees :)
Yay bright side.
eventually when money is less of an issue ill probably replace all mylivingroom furnitur with a nice matching loveseat and 2 recliner set...but this should easily last me a good few years with NO issues :D

heres a pic :)

my existing chair on the left and dozer on the ottoman and the new loveseat, i took the little arm protectors off my chair and put them along with the extra cushion on the new loveseat to pull the 2 together :) i think it looks pretty good for what i paid considering they delivered it for me :)

crazy folks though, younger couple and its currently a feel like of 26 degrees out there and theyre in shorts and t-shirts...*blink blink* im in my hat, scarf, gloves, wool coat with a heavy sweater and long sleaved t underneath, socks that come to my knees and my thickest pair of jeans and i was still FROZEN, and theres these 2 very nice people in t-shirts and shorts as if its a lovely summers day! made me cold just looking at them lol.

but yeah, not a bad morning. picked up oatmeal, and milk, and they had a 1/2 no sugar added apple pie wedge on the clearance for 50cents to i have a delicious desert for the next 4 days., oh and got my sunday paper...i whent for what i needed and other than my aplpe pie left with only what id gone for so YAY me! still i managed to spend $10 on milk and oatmeal, OUCHY...why is milk so expensive?!

Nice look Pinky! :) Sorry you're broke...I feel your pain. My stove committed suicide this morning. I guess it didn't want to brown my biscuits :hu So, we ate them white topped while watching the stove spark and flash and slowly die :lol:

well ruby has decided the new loveseat is THE best thing ever, shes currently all sprawled out on there lol...

might be picking up 2 new bunnies tomorrow morning, a 2yr old pair of holland lops for FREE...ive been looking for hollands and there usually expensive but aparently the hubby wants to get into chickens and these guys are "in the way" so their loss...
ive asked a few more questions as it is a male/femal pair so have they ever been bred, litter info ect...the 1 pick of themis them grazing together in a stall...so it could end up being a kinder suprise bunny too (a suprise inside lol) its an hour drive, but might be worthwhile one of them is a tort, the other is a broken tort, so thell compliment eachother nicely, and when it comes time to start my plush lop project ill have a couple years out of this pair then keep back some of their kits for the plush project.
well see...nothing is absolute untill i decide if im willing to make the drive.

still no idea id bluebell and acorn are pregnant, both have solid tummies but no definitive lumps and bumps, but they also tense when i try to feel around...neither has put any serious thought into nest building yet so we'll see... there due on tuesday which is thankfully when its supposed to start warming back up again...
i hope they are as they would be some beautiful kits...but if nothing by the 22nd ill rebreed hopefully with bigwig...hes still a little on the young side, so we'll have to see how much get up and go hes got lol.
may still be a little too young...

duckies are due to arrive on the 22nd too so that means at some point before monday a trip to tractor supply for starter (co-op only has medicated and i dont want medicated feed). got everything else i need for them so no worries there.
fencing and filler for the raise dbeds will have to wait untill next month. TSC's fencing sale is on till the end of april so ive got time on the sales price...

im REALY hiping by this comming weekend ill have a bunch of health babbits in the next boxes!
*fingers crossed*

tonight is walking dead marathon leading up the the new episode later...i LOVE this show!

I'm hoping for the same here Pinky!!! I haven't even bothered to check my girls again. I'll see Tuesday ;) I sure hope yours have wittle bebes in the oven!!!

I like TSC's 24% protein starter for my chickies. No other place has it 24% unless you pay higher for the gamebird starter. It sure does give them an initial boost so I like it :D

Hey Pinky! The new love seat looks good! I believe I used to have a sofa and chair in the same fabric as your sofa and ottoman. Does your sofa have Asian-style wooden feet?

this one just has simple blocks on the chair and traditional rounded type feet on the ottoman...but its a realy pretty fabric so im sure its been used in other models :D

in other news, i mentioned getting the floor done before they come out to my dad...
he said "well see what we can do" which means he might be willing to loan me the cash...*fingers crossed*

ive got the floor picked out lol.
we'll see.

The Walking Dead new season is looking interesting...i just wish they wouldnt stretch a 25 minute show into a 1 hour slot by putting ads every 1 minutes, Grr arg!
if your gonna put it in a 1 hour time slot, make it fit a 1 hour time slot with content...not fluff!
i like the show enough to just complain about it and continue watching, but still.

talked to the person about the buns, the female just weaned a litter and the pair "live together" (so she could definatly be pregnant) but she cant meet untill after 2pm...so given tomorrows crazy weather due in ive told her tues afternoon would be earliest...if there still there on tuesday ill go take a look.

I DO need to hit up walmart tomorrow...so ill probably head out early hit walmart and tractor supply and get the duck food while im at it...and then im good to not go out untill duckies lol
