It's all happening...

This is the completed shawl as promised previously. Soft and light!

Last week the sand arrived then blocking for the cement slab and now the concrete is setting.

Of course the concrete truck got bogged and the cement had to be emptied out by barrow, but the concreter took it all in his stride.

Market tomorrow...

The Tongala Market is on tomorrow, so I have been more busy catching up with spinning, and some knitting. Have a beanie to finish off and am continuing to knit up a plain multicoloured triangular shawl. I think the shawl has amazing colouration. I will take a photo on completion.

More busy days ahead...

Apart from having more glitzes with the computer which I hope improves as nothing wrong could be found this time, it has been busy with the Steam Rally and Girgarre Market on the long weekend. I was quite happy with sales at Girgarre, as there was a lot of competition with markets in several areas.
On the farm front over the last 10 days we have had 9 live calves from 9 cows, but 3 cows went down with milk fever and 1 cow had to be vet assisted. At this stage 2 more cows to g with another 3 suspected not in calf.
My upcoming studio/workshop now has sand plopped down ready for the concretor who had to postpone due to destructive weather uprooting another job. Never mind my turn will come.
My middle daughter was in echuca for a party on the weekend, so we got together for lunch at the Wisteria with my other 2 daughters and grandchildren on the sunday.
In the meantime more carding and woolspinning happening, and a few projects on the needles.
Photos coming soon.

Klunking in the night....

Apart from the fact that I am rather behind in blogging we were woken in the middle of the night by the sound of klunking, tapping whatever. It has taken three days to find the cause. It was coming from both our clock radios. Was it the electric fence or were the clocks dying. No, worse. One of the power point fuses was shorting and sparks could be seen. Not nice. Lucky we had extra safety switches which solved the problem, but the electrician found the damage was behind the board as well. All fixed!!

The whole issue also was not good for the computer, in that Windows would not open! Despair! Off to the computer doctor who found one corrupted file and now back on track.

I have just acquired 17 kilos of white Corriedale Fleece, so have washed and dyed a kilo and washed another kilo and a half already. So I hope to have a lot of fun with colours, and blending of colours.

Nagambie Market last Saturday was freezing but I did OK. This weekend I will be at the Echuca Steam Rally with the Echuca Wool & Craft group on the Saturday, and the Girgarre Market on the Sunday.

On the farm note we are waiting for new calves to arrive . We have 14 cows, but are unsure how many will calve as the bull had injured his leg and was sold off. We will look into getting another bull later this year. This year after shearing the rams will join with the ewes when further paddocks are prepared for them.
