I’ve finally finished the crochet blanket that I have been working on for the last few months. I’ve been sharing updates on Instagram from time to time, and a few weeks back I decided that I would enter it into the local show (which is on this weekend). Nothing like announcing a deadline to get yourself […]

I’ve been working on a crochet blanket for a while now, but I’m waiting on another ball of wool to arrive from Bendigo Woolen Mills before I can finish it (I ran out half way through the border – of course). In the meantime, I’ve been meaning to have a go at a crochet beanie […]

It’s been 12 months since we moved back to our freshly renovated farmhouse. Boy does time fly! Not a day goes by where I don’t feel so lucky to live in a beautiful light-filled house. It feels both very new, and also like we have always lived here. Talk about a paradox! Life really has […]

You guys! It’s almost finished! I began this hexagon rug almost as soon as we moved back to our farmhouse last July, and throughout the winter and spring, I knocked out a couple of hexagons whenever I had the chance. Last year I entered a striped afghan blanket in the local show and the year […]

You guys, I have begun half a dozen blog posts in the last few weeks, and then they sit there in my drafts folder and go no further. I don’t know about you, but the summer holidays have whizzed by, and I’ve been back at work for a week now (insert sad face). I’m taking […]

I’ve been busy crocheting again. After my globetrotter blanket, I wanted something a little smaller to work on in my spare moments. I had pinned some crochet stars on Pinterest, so thought I would have a go at making some into a star garland. For me, half the fun of crochet is fiddling around to work out […]

Well blink, and suddenly we are three weeks back into Term Two. On the farm, shearing happened without me even managing to get a photo in the shed. I guess that shows just how full life has been lately. I’m trying not to use the word “busy”. Over the weekend I did manage to grab […]

It’s been a long summer here on the farm. Long, and hot, and dry. So dry. On Friday we finally had some rain, and it feels, somehow, as though the season has changed. Autumn is here. The last few weeks have been crazy. The local show, a trip to Dubbo for Hannah and I so […]
