Crafters unite

With the devastation of the bush fires hitting the news. The call has gone out 

To crafters. We need your help 

There are many things needed but I knew I needed to make stuff fast 

Although the rest of the world has heard our call. It takes time for it to arrive down under 

So although I’ve been tagged in lots of crochet and knitting post I knew I had to get my sewing machine going 

Pouches are needed for orphan marsupials 

So I went through my stash to see what I had 

Lots of odd and ends of different sizes 

These I used to make the pouches 

But each pouch needs three inner liners 

I remembered I bought some flannel sheet sets. But I only used the fitted sheet 

I kept the flat sheets for backings 

I’ve not used them as yet. So I pulled them out for the inners 

One pouch and three inners all ready to go 

And a second set 

I’m resting now. But I’ll get back to it later. 

If you can knit,crochet, sew go ahead and check out what’s needed. There is heaps 

If you can’t craft maybe become a drop off point and do the delivery 

If you can’t do this give some money or even volunteer to help sort 

We all can play a small part 

Our animals need you 

Thank you to all the crafters who right now across the world are busy making things to help us 

Our Aussie animals. Thank you 

See ya xxx

New year 2020

Happy new year. 

Since I last posted many things have been happening 

Firstly Australia is burning. 

Bushfires are rampant around our country and thousands of hectares 

Of bush is being destroyed 

Homes are burnt to the ground and people are being evacuated 

My daughter and her husbands family were at a holiday seaside town 

And they got the order to evacuate 

They moved to a town further away to wait and see. 

They saw the new year in and thankfully came home 

It was a stressful few days for this mumma let me tell you 

The fires are still raging 

And the army has been called in to rescue people who have been trapped on beaches as they can’t escape by land 

Even though we are three hours away by car from the fires. We have been blanketed by smoke 

The air quality will make anyone who has lung or heart issues worse. So we have been warned to stay in doors 

With all that going on 

I turned another year older 

It was lovely to receive all the birthday wishes on Facebook and privately 

But I just didn’t feel like celebrating with all that is going on 

We still have family in the fire zone. And for now they are safe 

But even though hubby wanted to take me out to dinner. I asked to just get some takeaway and stay home 

My birthday wish is for rain to break this drought 

For weather conditions to change and help our firefighters put out these fires 

And for everyone to through this alive and well. 

Please pray for our country to whoever you pray too 

Thank you 

Relaxing

It’s a warm day today. And the alpacas are feeling the heat as they they haven’t been shorn yet 

So we have a sprinkler on for them to enjoy 

Even one of the lambs was playing in it 

The joys of farm life lol 

Sitting outside with the furbabies 

There is a lovely breeze so it’s nice outside 

We have opened the south facing blinds to take full advantage of the cool wind 

Apart from catching up on the washing 

Today is going to be a rest day 

Hope you get a chance to rest and relax too

See ya xxx

It’s a start

I’ll Finish on the 6th January like the good Greek girl I am 

Believe me. It’s going to take that long 

I’ll need a few days to recover after today 

When do you take your decorations down? 

See ya xxx

Christmas 2019

Christmas this year was pretty full on.

Hostess with the mostess 

Then a few days later was Christmas Eve and my babies came around for our family Christmas 

Grandpa had a ball playing with the girls 

And there was lots of yummy food 

Christmas Day was spent with our wonderful friends 

We had a relaxing Christmas Day with chris and jody and Chris’s  mum  Kath 

We laughed and ate and drank wayyyyy too much lol 

Then Boxing Day was spent at my parents place this is my baby girl and wonderson with the Brianna 

This is wyatt my nieces son and my godson. Isn’t he a handsome little dude 

Melody got a new bike from her great grandparents 
She had a ball riding it around and around 

That’s her great granddad my dad in the background 

Brianna got a formula one car and uncle mathew is helping her 

She’s just like me. Nothing stops her from eating lol

Looking after the lamb on the spit 

So I can finally relax knowing Christmas is done and dusted for another year 

Hope you had a wonderful time with your family and friends 

Thank goodness it only comes once a year

Making fudge

I decided I wanted to make some fudge 

So I checked out pinterest. As you do and found a couple of 

Recipes 

This first one is made on the stove top using White chocolate

Corn syrup and butter. 

I added crushed candy canes and mini smarties after it cooled down a tad 

I didn’t taste this. But it looks interesting 

I made a chocolate one in the slow cooker 

Takes longer 

And uses sweetened condensed milk instead of the corn syrup 

I did taste this one 

I got some on my fingers trying to pour it out lol 

And oh my it’s lovely and smooth. 

Just a mix of dark and milk chocolate and a dash of vanilla 

Got them both in the fridge setting 

I hope everyone will like them 

Apparently they do last a while in a sealed container

I don’t know how long they will last the hubby though lol 

Hope your all ready or just about done for Christmas 

I have a few last minute things and then I’m done 

Soon life will return to normal

Sunny Sunday

We are enjoying a beautiful sunny Sunday 

There is a slight breeze drying my washing 

I’ve watered all the pots and newly planted shrubs 

Hubby has mowed and the budgies are getting so e glorious 

Sunshine after having their cage cleaned 

The cow is mooing 

The dogs are laying around 

The cats have found cool shady spots to sleep

And I have a ton of work waiting in side 

But I’m staying out here 

With the birds, and the bees and get me some free vitamin D

Enjoy your Sunday 

See ya
