A trade commission, apparently, based on this pony
 
From the artist:  
“Bumblesweet dutifully cares after the bees that produce the honey for Ponyville, but even she has her hobbies to fill her free time. When she’s not buzzzy (haha get it?) working, she likes to take breaks to sew, apparently.”  
-Eebharas
 
The figure, stand, table top, stool and sewing machine are made out of Philippine mahogany while the gears are carved from Narra hardwood. The table legs and pedal are made of copper wire. The figures are painted with enamel and protected with a clear lacquer. Bumblesweet sits at 5 1/4” high while the whole piece measures 6 1/2” long, 3 3/4” wide and 8 1/8” high. It took 102 3/4 hours to make.
 
Watch her sew:
