Firstly yes Cow-Day-Wednesday, know I
missed two. Beautiful and wet today, we were starting to get just a little dry
again, and after so many years in drought, it doesn't take much dry weather for
people to start to panic. And not a day for my good camera, so had to make do
with the good old iPhone.
Wet, but not cold.
The little waves on the water troughs is
from the force of the rain.
I snapped this fellow in the calf pens,
don't you just love the wrinkles over his eyes?
Part of the reason I went into a little bit
of a slump, this is part of a tea dye job gone wrong, and when I say part… try
a piece of 32 count linen, that measures 24 x 32 inches for PSS The Flood, I
hadn't realized a tea bag had broken, well leaked might be a better description.
If it had been evenly distributed I might have been able to live with it, but it
just looked 'dirty'. I will be able to salvage most of it, but it was so
disheartening, the colour was perfect.
The second piece, no breakage or leaks this
time. Twinings Classics Blackcurrant Scented tea.

Day 14 – LHN Warm Winter Woolens... And in the Year of the Dragon, my new
scissors from Anita's Little Stitchers Heirloom Scissor Collection… I am so in
trouble.
So So So in trouble, I've always resisted
purchasing scissors, I have my plain old ordinary stork scissors, and a little
pair of German scissors with green plastic handles, that would have to be over
20 years old, and I always thought these were the bee's knees, but nope they
are nothing compared to these scissors… trouble.
Still have to photograph Day 15 – Plum
Street Samplers The Flood, but it is started.
In case you are wondering why there is a puppy
photo at the top of this post, no no new puppies, although I may have some
exciting news in about seven weeks.
No the photo is of Podge 1 year ago today,
you see I have been a bad mother, I realized tonight, that Podge was 1 year old
two days ago… Oops, still don't think she realizes why she was just given and
extra treat or two.
So far behind in my blog reading, and
trying really hard to catch up :@
Catch you all later… LiBBiE in Oz
