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...

And just like that August is over! For us its a calving month, so super busy and also starting to think about making hay and silage (that will be September) and what we will plant and water for summer feed. I enjoyed another art journal class with Jenni Finn - this time it was vases - I like the black one I did but not sure about the other one and mind you neither of them looked anything like the sample Jenn did! Ive also been really enjoying working on a kit I bought several years ago - Tussie Mussie Cushion by Emma Jean Jansen. Its english paper piecing but in small achievable blocks and the fabrics she put into the kit are fabulous! I do like hand stitching - in all its forms and the pattern calls for it to be hand quilted as well which Im pretty sure I will do Ive also been doing some knitting but not a lot to show - its a shawl and Ill share it with you once its a bit bigger and a bit more interesting! On the reading front - Ive finished quite a few books! First the physica...
