...my blogging entries have been very poor lately but I have been using Facebook for quick entries.
Now, on the farm we have been calving very slowly and spread out, unfortunately, and we still have one to go. One of the older cows gave birth to twins, luckily 2 heifers, so a lot of growing for these tiny girls. i haven't taken any photos yet, because the day after they were born Mum wasn't well and had to be treated with Calcium successfully, but soon after one of the twins went missing, and could not be found anywhere. We have a lot of long grass around the channel area, so heaven only knows where she went, but after a week of not finding her she turned. So 15 cows and 15 calves in one paddock. We are very happy! Another paddock we have 10 Lowlines, ( 4 of which are heifers calving early next year) with 6 calves. In another paddock the Lowline bull has 7 heifers and a steer to keep him busy. Lots of animals now plus 44 sheep.
Of course I am always working at my crafting and have finally finished a machine knit cardigan, so hopefully am getting the hang of the machines now.
Handspinning always goes on, with the Alpaca for a client as a priority but I have done some natural coloured Corriedale for the stall.
And some seing, and I need to add more of these. Here is a sample.
So, since it is my birthday today, it is time to get ready to go to Echuca for lunch with my mother, children, sister, etc.
Handcrafting with wool in Kyabram, Victoria. Handspinning. Handdyeing. Machine Knitting.

Too busy.....
This last fortnight has been very busy. No time for blogging.
First my birthday spent working, but had a lovely lunch with my oldest and youngest daughters, my mother and youngest sister.
Flowers are always nice to get because they are still around for another week making the birthday seem longer.
My grandaughter also just had her 1st birthday, and she looked lovely. She has also been walking for the last month.
