MARKET - Coonamble Ag Field Day. APRIL 2017

What an amazing view to start what turned out to be an awesome day at the Coonamble Ag Field Day

There really is something amazingly special about the start to our Country markets, the sunrise, and the scenery is certainly stunning.  But before I get to carried away, there is hard work involved... often the fingers are too cold to function popping up the gazebo... Lucky Brian is my muscle, but today I was also blessed with a couple extra roustabouts. Chooky and Kylie. Who were all too happy to jump in and help me fluff the stall with direction. 

Its always awesome to pack up, and be carrying a lighter load home... this lovely Adirondack setting is now sitting on an amazing property out near Walgett 

It never ceases to amaze me that we our set up amongst the machinery and the livestock... this city mouse is certainly enjoying the changes.

March 2017

March Arrives.... and I can see the changes in my lifestyle, reflected in my face and my heart.  This quote was one of my first photos in March... it summed up how I was feeling. Some days life is hard... but I smile and move on.

 Then with Markets booked coming up, it was time to get hooking and creating for easter orders...

 Peter Pan said " Come with me, where dreams are born and time is never planned" This is how the rest of March felt, with lots of adventures... the highlight being our Christmas Gift from our little girl and her man. A weekend in the city, with all that entails... and of the best part ADELE in concert... OH it was AMAZING.

 

  

Ended that amazing weekend having brunch with Chooky...our first in many this year I think (wink)- It was funny our texts on opposite sides of the arena during the Adele concert, it was amazing to think that record crowds over 95,000 and I knew a couple of those.
I missed my boy, but lived through his not so regular facebook messages and photos. Eiffel Tower photo.

Lucy started to get wings, well I started to add the border pieces as I am going now, so I will have to go back and work on the ones I have already done.. but it is nice to see it grow like this now.

The reading continued, "Stolen bodies working stolen land. It was an engine that did not stop, its hungry boiler fed with blood.” can totally recommend this one. The boy came home, and so did the chef stylised dinners.... sweet potato noodles, with chilli prawns... Oh my this one is a cook again, super quick and super tasty.

 Then we got on the road, for the first of our Country Market trips this year, we headed out to Coonamble. for the Coonamble Ag Field Day. It amazes me as we travel out in the country how quickly the land and weather changes... from black storms and rain we couldn't see to drive.. we actually had to stop. 10 minutes later back on the road and the blue skies were back.

 I got to visit with the wonderful Chooky - travelling in her car made me smile at this little tray of clipped bits, her trimmings from projects worked in the car.

  Lucy got worked on in the chookshed. and we enjoyed a few days in each other's company. Just bliss. This city mouse quiet enjoys her visits to the country.

December 2016 - recap

Yes, its late! With a PC not working, and struggling with my phone and Ipad and blogger, it all got too hard. but let's just say a sewing/office room renovation is happening and it may be almost 6 months late.... but the blog posts are coming back. So let's recap last December.

The Christmas Decorating began in the last week of November so we were on time for Mitch's very first advent. I enjoyed his childlike excitement... it's what Christmas is all about even at 23. A new tree joined the decorating as well. And we also fitted in our Christmas lights enjoyment and strolled the streets, although as the kids have grown there enthusiasm for photographs seems to be waning.

 

Markets Forever Always Online attended a couple of markets and we made some decisions during this time for 2017 and our Market attendance- we did enjoy the local ones.... but times are changing and so did our signage.

I embraced my Gluten and Dairy free lifestyle and even my Christmas baking reflected this.... Bianca's favourite Pfeffernusse (German Pepper Nut Cookies ) 

Christmas Day - well it could almost have it's own post, but it was amazingly wonderful to have my home filled with all my loved ones and way too many gifts and food.... but hey it's only once a year.!!!

Christmas gifts and Non Scale Victories - my new fitbit, I automatically went for the larger band... and was shocked that the smaller band fit, but not the last hole, a few holes in....I know my lifestyle change is working but sometimes I just don't see the changes. But we are certainly tasting them.... one of the meals we have enjoyed using our leftover Christmas ham, thanks to Chef Dylan.

December also saw the beginning of the more life outdoors, beach sessions, daily sun and swims and my reading has increased again... finishing books feels good. OH and that very neglected garden is seeing some much needed love.

Whilst on the goals of finishing things I have started, even with the heatwave weather, after great outdoor sessions I was happy to sit inside in the Airconditioning, enjoying some quiet stitching, this quilt will get finished next year, but it's moving up the to do list.

And we finally finished off 2016 with family, laughter and fireworks... here is to 2017 being awesome... well I know that I am 5 months in writing this post ans it certainly is going well for me and my  little family.
