Long time no blog!

-
It's been a long time since Ive blogged - well January!
A lot has happened in that time - it seems mostly bad but there have been some good times inbetween
Long story short - its time for me to reassess and regroup and get back to finding the real me
A week or so ago I attended a one day workshop with Cynthia Mahoney called "Driving your life - well being workshop for busy women"
It was all about setting goals and directions and self assessing and learning how to put yourself first- something that Im pretty ordinary at doing
I realised I have no goals really for the future - or if I do they are very vague and not defined
I also realised that that is ok too!

Ive also realised that I dont like to have unfinished things around me - books, projects, dreams, goals, etc etc

So.........I now have a goal - to finish things Ive started or if I dont want to finish them - Ill "gift" them elsewhere

So stay tuned

I agree, Di. It's good to have goals, as long as they're realistic (which mine mostly aren't!)

As the days go by.........yes its September! On the farm we are three quarters of the way through calving and the last group of "girls" to calve are quite spread out so it might take a while Excitingly we baled 210 rolls of silage this last week - so thats feed stored away for another day and another 120 odd bales from a block in town. Its so good to have this stored away as the grass doesnt last forever and cows still need to be fed. Fingers crossed we get some good rains this week so that the paddocks will be watered from above and not from irrigation. This week I also managed to finish a project thats taken me a month or two to complete - but Ive enjoyed every step of it. The pattern is the Tussie Mussie cushion and is designed by Emma Jean Jansen. I also bought the kit to make the cushion from her and just love the fabrics in it. Its english paper pieced and then attached to each of the small squares. These were then all joined together by machine and stitched in th...

And here we are in the third week of august - yep still some very cold mornings but lovely sunshine most days - sometimes with a cold breeze sometimes not We are still calviing here on the farm and are not quite half way but getting there - the bulls are in with the herd so hopefully doing what bulls do (if you know what I mean!) I have been working away on a few things - firstly I finished a pair of socks! The pattern is zigzag sock and I used some lovely self striping yarn from Ash and Eve Designs I also enjoyed the latest art journalling class run by Jenni Finn out of her Hey Sunday store - this one was all about ripping paper and creating almost 3 d like images - lots of fun And I finished the online quilting challenge wall hanging quilt and I love it - so bright and cheery and I really enjoyed the thinking of what to make for each round - highly recommend this sort of challenge to not just use up fabrics but also to get your thinking! Reading wise I finished the Covenant of Wa...

Well its been a sort of productive week (I think) well to be honest I dont really know where the week went! I know I had several day trips away to meetings in Bendigo (twice) and several online as well and we should be going to Queensland next week for a weeks holiday but its not to be. (insert sad face) Farmwise calving is still happening but definately slower and we have managed to bale some silage so thats awesome - feed put away for another day however in a month that the forecasters said would be a wet month its been incredibly dry! We have little faith in the weather bureaus predictions and only believe it when it actually happens. This is annoying as you would like to be able to plan crops etc with some degree of confidence when we have little. However there have been some beautiful morning sunrises as can be seen from this pic. I did manage to attend another art class with Jenni Finn and this time it was painting lemons - this one was on a canvas and im pretty happy with ho...
