the eve

We are on the eve of moving back into our newly renovated home. It has been a long time coming and we are all excited about the next few days. Mostly I am! Photos to follow as we go. For now we are looking forward to days of cleaning and unpacking with more excitement than I thought possible.

From a wedding we went to recently. Aren't they handsome!

wilson update

well this has turned into the most sporadic blog I've ever seen. So I'm starting again easy, and posting some pictures of the baby in our lives. We are still out of home but hopefully only for a few more days - can't wait!

Lasagne anyone?

We had lasagne last night. It only took me two days to make. That's a reflection of our life at the moment I think. Anyhow it was good, made with a new batch of minced cows that weren't quite good enought to sell.
Mother's Day has been underwhelming to say the least. I started out with high hopes but with seeding, I have ended up alone with Wilson all day and cooked tea for all and sundry. So no photos of me and he on our first mother's day, shall have to try a self portrait tomorrow.

...and some more

Farm family

Blessed

Finally - an introduction to the blog of Wilson, our farm child. Born 15th Feb, 6lb 11oz. Considerably larger now, and dozing in my arms. Lack of blogging due to the amazing changes he has bought into our lives. We are also living with the farmer's parents as our house is renovated, more on that later. Wilson is active and generally happy. Zero sewing happening at the moment. Will let pictures tell the rest of the story...

up and back

long time no blog

It's been a while. But determined to get back on this wagon. It is difficult to summarise the events of the past 3 months except to say that I am STILL pregnant and waiting for the arrival of the minifarmer or farm wife. 4 weeks to go now and so we are close. Harvest finished 2 weeks ago and so we have been tied up with all things that are involved with that. We've had a few weddings, some family visit from the UK and Christmas which didn't really feel like Christmas since everyone around here was still inthe middle of getting their crops off. I've done a small amount of sewing for baby, but really still have eyes bigger than my capability at this point. I am hoping once the baby's sex is revealed it might be easier to be inspired...we'll see.

Home renos have commenced and so it does feel like we are living in a dustbowl crossed with an insect zoo at the moment. Think biblical plague of grasshoppers, moths and frogs, mixed with dust. But I was brave and had friends to visit on the weekend, and they were very polite - their sons even used fly swats to kill as many grasshoppers as they could.

Have posted some photos to pictorially document the last little while - talk soon.
