I can't afford a REAL horse so in keeping with my inner crafting child I made a fabulous STICK HORSE. It's great for that quick trip to the local grocery store on City Island!

I used a handle from a dust mop for its body; a gray and black hiking sock (from my husband's sock drawer), miraculously shaped into a horse head by stuffing it with TP; button eyes from my button collection with green felt eyebrows and a big red felt mouth (did I mention that this is a KISSING horse?) A mane of black and white yarn cleverly looped and sewn by hand with a pink jump rope as the final touch for his bridle. Voila! Now I can keep up with my grandson! Total cost...$00. priceless!
