Fairy Girl update..........

Here I am being spoilt by Kerry from Cottage on the Hill. Lucky me fairies and flowers.

Thanks a lot Kerry.

Today I sewn a pincushion for my friend.

It was very hard sewing the circle and I reckon it was the hardest thing I've ever made.

I promised her I would make a pincushion for her.

Here I am learning how to make a yo yo by myself.

Just waiting for Mum to finish stitching it together for me.

Then Mum just had to do finishing touches by putting the smallest yoyo on the big yoyo and then hooray it's done for my friend.

bye bye from Fairy Girl

.........my boy Bookworm is so disappointed the weaners have found his favourite hiddy tree.............

all the holes in the end of the bales is where the pets have been free grazing..............I need to get a snap of them in action very cute with all the butts poking out...........

wood chopping hazards.........

The weatherman says it's going to get pretty cold again by the end of the
week so I wanted to get some more fire wood............

............(Mr Chookyblue with the chainsaw - some things I should never
learn to operate)

while I was picking up the wood this is what I found under a small
piece..........YIKES..........after I got over the shock of it - it was
quick grab the camera so I can take a pic for the blog............this was
about 30cm long and I am not sure but most likely venomous..........

Here is the pile of wood I loaded...............snake free.........I don't
mind swing the axe occasionally................. when I was younger I would go to the woodheap in winter to vent my frustrations.........lol........

But this is the reason I took the camera so I could show you this wonderful
tree along the creek.............it looks much more magnificent in real life

Take Care til next time...............
