Long weekend activities and celebrating 50 posts giveaway

As mentioned before Dragonfly came for the longweekend with her kids. After it rained all day Friday I had to plough into town Friday night (I have lots of dirt road) and home again to get her Saturday we stayed put. Sewing sewing sewing all day.....Oh I think we went outside once....
I made ther bags above for a friend. Dragonfly made one also.
As she sews heaps of box bags I have a lesson and this is what I made.....Does look better then the pic but the piece of material is from my DS for mothers day so I had to make something for myself. I am going to make more of these.....they are quick and easy to make up. Tutti Fruiti makes lots also....

Since all the rain the oats is coming up and the country looks a pic of green carpet which I will post about later (to much to report on now....).

On Sunday we went to the quilt show (see previous post) and the rodeo (see Dragonfly's post ).

My brother came out to pick up a foal to wean it from it's mother.... This was entertaining for us to watch him try and get the head stall on it and then get it into the trailer....

The kids spent a lot of time on the bikes and they went yabbying, also caught some tadpoles and a fish at the dam which is now full from all the rain.....they got muddy and had heaps of fun....one night DH and the kids had a bonfire. Dragonfly and myself were to busy enjoying a scotch and coke to go to the bonfire and it was toooo cold....Tutti Fruiti rang during this and I think she was checking up to see what she was missing out on and she didn't say but I think she really wanted to be here sewing with us.....she had to work.......poor girl...

Monday saw us in the sheep yards draughting up the sheep into several mobs, they are due to lamb this weekend..... Yes I can draught 3 ways.......only made a few mistakes thankgoodness as I have to catch them..........DH can't draught yet with his knee from the major injury last year..... funny to see the visitors trying to catch a sheep it would make funniest home vidoes at times.....

All in all we had a wonderful time.............they will be back again soon.....

Now as this is my drawn out 50th post I am going to have a prize for someone who leaves me a comment.....will probably draw it over the weekend so get in quick.............not sure what this will be yet but something exciting.................

bye for now........... got to pick the kids up from the school bus.......
