+ What a busy week it has been! I have all my year 8 students making hand sewn felt Christmas decorations as a little end of year project, and they are loving it. I have a boys class and a girls class, and they are both really getting into designing and sewing them. Admittedly some of the decorations are less ‘Christmassy’ (totally a word) than others. Nothing says Christmas like a cactus.
+ I got my inspiration for the felt decorations from a kit my mother bought back for me from America. I have slowly been making them – hopefully this weekend I will get the remainder finished!
+ Country Boy and FIL have been extending one of our sheds over the last few weeks. Like all farms, we have heaps of sheds, but there still wasn’t enough room for both our cars. Our car shed was originally build byt Country Boy’s grandfather, but has so many lean to’s on it now! I took this photo just before sunset last night – look at the beautiful hills behind the shed!!
+ I think we have officially been accepted as locals. Country Boy has been asked to play the drums at the village Christmas carols, and has been given an application form to join the Rural Fire Service (RFS). I have been asked to do the reading at the carols. Either we are officially locals, or else the locals see us as suckers.
Happy Friday everyone!!
Linking Up with With Some Grace for FYBF
You take the most breathtaking photos!
Sounds like it's going to be a doubly festive time with your family. Enjoy!
I really hope you enjoy your time with your family!
I am 30 and I still love dinosaurs. My husband is 32 and he does too. I don't think we will ever grow out of it! Hope you have an excellent time with your family.
The idea of Australian country living fascinates me. We are entrenched in the city but have sampled a country life with a six month stay in the country when we first arrived here. It took no time at all to get lynched by the scarier local wildlife and a lot of effort to make friends. I was really glad to get to the city. The community seemed more embracing and the wildlife less likely to appear. That said, it is an increased crime rate and there are more obvious junkies (with their paraphanalia littering the street) how do you feel about the differences between the two lifestyles? I may have to go and read more to find out… Declutterbug on FYBF
