Finishing the Day

Its been one of those days.  Just couldn't get anything started.  Just had too much to do.  I usually write a list but of course I didn't do that last night.

 

Eventually I did get some work done.  Quite a lot done really.

And the sky showed its wonderful colours this evening.

 

Taffy is out in the shed tinkering.  I will show you the car tomorrow.

Now its time to turn the dye pot off.

And get dinner.

Cold Spell

Hurtle our cat helping me in the loft.  The loft is always so warm and cosy.  And the puppy can't get up the stairs....yet!!!

 

 



 

 

And these ladies are laying eggs.  Just as well I say.

 

We are in the middle of a really cold weather front.  Tonight we are expecting snow but it hardly ever happens.

Working with Wool

A very friendly English Leicester rare breed sheep.  This sheep has a gentle nature and comes t5o see me when I go to her paddock.

 

Lots of green grass at the back of the house.

 

Some of the yarn I have spun for the Australian Ballet.  The yarn will be used for costumes for Sleeping Beauty.  Can't wait to see what the designer does with the yarn. The yarn on the left is a natural grey, no dye.  The yarn on the right I have dyed but using earthy tones.

Winter Light

 

I have been outside feeding the animals and putting them to bed.

 

The fading light from the sunset was amazingly beautiful.

 

The light fades so quickly.  All dark outside now.

Time to cook dinner

Shelby

At the weekend a very cute puppy came to visit.  We did enjoy the family visit as well but Shelby really stole the show.  She was wanting to learn to drive Taffy's car but still a bit small to see over the steering wheel.

 

But the seat belts might just fit very soon.

 

And when I'm not in the car I'm very busy exploring.

And I tricked you as I'm sure you thought I was mostly all white. My feet get very dirty on the farm.
