It Rained Last Night...

It hasn't rained enough here to form puddles in a long time. Last night we had it all...Thunder, Lightening, Hail & rain. The kids decided to have some fun in a puddle in our driveway this morning...



...needless to say, they needed a bath afterwards!!

Yet another 'Milo' Vest

Here we go again...another 'Milo' vest.

This one is knitted using 'Sirdar Baby Bamboo' 80% Bamboo and 20% Wool. It's nice to knit with but there were at least 1 or 2 joins in each ball and you can't splice it so I ended up with several ends to sew in and it's really hard to get it to look neat on the right side. It drapes really nicely and would make a nice cardi or top to wear. I think it'd be nice for that in-between weather. This one's actually going on display for a while at the local craft shop as a sample to hopefully help them sell the yarn...

Our New Chooks started Laying...

About a fortnight ago, our new pullets started laying...yay...this was our first egg (the big one) I do feel sorry for the poor young chook who had to squeeze that one out...enough to put her off laying ever again I reckon!! I cooked it for lunch today and yes it was a double yolker.


Here's a pic of Meg & Kif...Meg (in front) is nearly 12 years old and Kif is her son, he's nearly 10, they're mini fox terriers. They are both in desparate need of a bath...but they are farm dogs so as soon as you bath them, they just go off and find something else dead to roll in...ick!!


I also have another 'Milo' vest to show off, knitting's finished but I just haven't sewn the ends in or blocked it yet...I'll post here as soon as I get around to doing that...I have also started knitting another one too...
