Two and a half years!

The new 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! Catalogue!  Very excitin!

Not many posts for 2.5 years at our 'new' farm! Never mind!  I've been busily posting on my Facebook Page (link in the column to the right) and busily making cards and working on the farm.  Winter lets us slow down a bit, but there's always things to be done! 

There is a lot of progress with our new fencing!  Woolshed yards are being 'tweaked' to help the whole space flow and hold stock more securely, paddocks are being rearranged and beginnings of lane ways are popping up!  It's very exciting! 

There have been accidents, wonderful visitors, a wedding, special birthdays, first day at school, first lost tooth, rose gardens, field days, crochet lessons, epic trips, girls weekends, crafting, cooking and working!

Our nieces and Goddaughters are growing up and we are very blessed to spend rare visits with them all.  It's never enough but a treasured time when we do manage it!

Lots more always happening and too much to talk about, so here's some pictures instead! I can't seem to control where they are going at the moment, so they are a bit randomly placed!

My FAVOURITE band in the whole world is releasing their new album VERY soon!

This year I am introducing a monthly evening open house!  Designed to help interested crafters and friends make time to learn some new techniques, work on current projects, help and inspire each other, and really, a chance to get-together combined with some casual creativeness.  To attend you only need bring yourself and either $10 per person to make two cards, OR $5 per person to bring your own supplies to work on.  It's a great chance to get a little supervision, learn a few tips and utilize my equipment and products!  I'm really happy to work on specific techniques or projects that you suggest! Come along and learn how easy it is to do some beautiful projects!

Hello Life 2015!

Happy New Year everyone! 

We saw the new year in 80's style, frocked up, taffeta, mullets and tunes for a friends birthday party! Awesome fun! 

We have also begun caring for two of our puppies whose mum suddenly died before Christmas. They are doing really well and bring us so much joy! It really is a privilege to look after them! 

We have had lovely visitors already this year and are excited to be expecting many more over this month! The farm work must still be done however, and we start shearing lambs on Monday! 

Let's hope for a cooler week next week!
