Hi there, I have never gone away, pop in most mornings and mean to reply more often but life always gets busy. This year our small town is celebrating being around a 100 years so we are all involved in helping out. We have just had a four day floral festival with my sisters in law and MIL doing stands, Bette's was the dairy company and milk carts and cans, Cass had music over the century complete with harps, jute boxes and Mum was involved with wedding dress displayed for every decade.
I was one of three invited to have a stall, run by family as I was at work so took over after work.I did very well. Lots of lavender products,bead work and felted flower brooches were sold.
My husband sold the centennial book of which he is a co author.
This weekend is the ball. I have to alter a long skirt then will be ready to go. A friend is lending me her long gloves. Also on Sat is a staff lamb spit roast.
I have a pile of beading mags to read when life settles. We are going into autumn here so looking out the window, I see cows in the paddock rain clods gathering, a rubbish fir burning and almost green grass. We have had a drought begin to break. One house is in view, one tractor and one car.
All is quiet. I will drive into town, 5 mins drive away to post mail and cook dinner. Enchiladas tonight.
I live in New Zealand on a farm and try all sorts of beading out. My ambition is to be at bead and button next year.
Cheers, Jan
