Finally! My ponies have been wandering around for quite some time, not able to find a good resting place. The bag wasn't working, too large for a hanging pillow, what to do? Well today I was working on the final few boxes I found, and while searching the new computer for the old files, came across the ponies circled. ???? What the hell, give it a try.
So I made the label and I was gobsmacked. You have no idea how long I've waited to use that word. And this is the time. WHY did I not think of this before? The poor ponies have been hidden in the dark, waiting, and it never occurred to me to try a padded round lid finish.
I will lose some of the stitching but that's fine with me.
Then I remembered the stack of tall rounds waiting for labels and tried the larger size. Bingo.
I don't want to use this very tall box and it belongs to a set I plan to label, so I will check HL for this size in the short series and if not, will use the smaller short and lose more of the stitching. But at least I finally have a solution to displaying my ponies.
Whiskey for me and beer for my horses!!!
Black Velvet Roasted Caramel will do just fine.

OK Marly....you're good. I never would have thought of that and it will be on such grand display. LOVE ponies and LOVE your idea.

Again, this is going to be wonderful! Love the round shape. Your brain, fueled by Dove Chocolate, is constantly creating. So fun.
Marly: I love this design, it is so sweet and vintage looking.
I like the idea of the round box's. I hope you find just the right size.
We only had two Hobby Lobby's in Minnesota until last year, now they are popping up in many small cities.

What a great application for those beautiful horses.
Hope you find the large round to preserve all the
edge stitching. A case of Doves to our Marley,
