Gardening and other things....

Although the weather conditions continued to be in high 30's I manged to pop in some more tomatoes. Something is trying to pick at new leaves, just leaving holes (I have put Defender down). Anyway the peanuts are still growing and zucchini seeds have popped. continue to keep on top of the watering. Have to keep the S & D tanks filled from the spur channel (that's Leigh's job).

The Aged Care Hostel where I am currently working 3 days a week at had their annual fete yesterday. I was the Spinning display, so all my wool was out, plus my scarves, beanies etc.
My best sellers of the day were 2 Christmas Tablerunners and 2 quilted totes, so am happy they sold. Now have to cracking for the Girgarre Dec market to make a couple more for display. Need to do so much work, not enough hours.

I received a phone call this morning from an Alpaca farmer in the area who wants her fleeces spun, so more work coming that way. We had a brief discussion a couple of months ago when we were at Mandie Chandler's (EGMTK) Spinning night at Tongala.

Have to get organised again and put more photos up. I have some natural coloured wool yarn from the Goldfields Mohair Farm that I have dyed, and I think my colours have turned out well.
