Hello there my dear friends!

I hope this finds you doing well!  I am thrilled to announce that my work spaces are unpacked and nearly fully functional!  I say nearly as there are a few things I need to change around and a few pictures and curtains to hang, etc. but for the most part I have been working daily sewing and using my heat press and it is an easy work flow space!  I absolutely love it!  The weather has been perfect for open windows and I can hear the flutter of hummingbirds at the feeder as they prepare for their winter journey south. I have a perfect view of the mares and their foals, the bred heifers getting ready to calve and my favorite momma turkey hen and her three itty-bittys.  She literally walks right through the yard under my window.  I watched the itty-bittys grow and have tried to get pictures of them but they stay hidden in the grass. 

Along with a new work space, you will notice a somewhat new website design.  You will find all products for sale (hand-mades, vintage and new) under the “Sliding Stop Trading Post” heading.  We have created categories to make finding our products simple and ultimately with fewer “clicks”.  I am so excited to have a more navigable site and hope you find it enjoyable and easy.

This weekend is the MIFWHA competitive coyote hunt and I would like to thank the association for their business of two custom award field trial blankets.  Best of luck to the hunters and their dogs competing at this hunt.  Next weekend my field trial blankets will be available for sale at the Eminence, Missouri trial.  We hope to stop by and meet some of the competitors; if we happen to not make it (we do have heifers due to calve any day now) good luck to y’all!  If you aren’t going to this hunt and need a blanket, you can find them for sale on our site here https://slidingstoptradingpost.com/wordpress/sport-dog-field-trial-blankets/  

If you need a custom order, feel free to contact me to work out the details and get pricing. Also, we have great Fortex dog bowls. https://slidingstoptradingpost.com/wordpress/dog-bowls/  Very useful in the winter because they are flexible in cold temperatures and are crack and crush resistant. 

Above are past custom award blankets on a solid blanket.

I would love to hear from you and what is happening in your world.  Feel free to comment on my blog.

Until next time,

Happy Trails
