Finding time to sew

This summer was a very busy time, I finally managed to get on the machine and get a bit of sewing done. This was a $2 dress from the scab trolley at Kmart.

 Just one cut and a bit of embellishing and a new skirt for layering during the winter.

But i have been busy on the knitting front, lots of beanies and gloves and this vest and hat, great now that the weather has cooled down and i can snuggle by the fire.

The meter box

All on schedule for market day, I only have one more block of red to paint.
Today i finished the meter box, which was originally mission brown

Looked great until..............

I plugged it in, now it looks like its got a breathing tube in it !!!

the pressure is on!!!

All is still amazing at the Hippy Farm, but gee we have been busy. Only four weeks to go until the big market & garage sale in our town, so im frantically trying to finish painting the farm shop, im about two thirds done, only one oopsie so far (well actually two) yes two broken windows while painting ....ooops! Never mind for now we have covered them with purple boards and it doesnt look too shabby lol

The old selling cart has had a revamp and is looking great. The warm autumn weather has been a bonus. So fingers crossed we finish on time!!!

Just fun

This is how my saturday was spent on this glorious autumn day at the hippy farm..played with the pups, sugar, boofhead, maggie, dotty and molly...and then ZZZZz

 my first fire at the hippy farm.

What an awesome day!!! 

My new second life!!

After living in the 'burbs' all my life, the last few years threw me many stones.....but from now on I have only diamonds....
The move to the hippy farm was one of the best choices i have ever made.
Its been two months since i arrived here and its been awesome if i dont count the heat, flies, mozzies, spiders, wasps, crickets, ants and mice.ha ha
The hippy man has been patient with me, i freak at almost any bug that comes near me, he is so used to it he usually just laughs me off.

The flag that i gave hippy man for xmas takes pride of place in front of the farm.
The verandah(which also doubles as our food shop) is having a face lift when im done with it will be the 6 colors of the flag. Ive already done blue, green and purple will post pics of soon.

 Here is my poor attempt at growing garlic....."thats not a garlic"

"This is a garlic!" Straight from hippy mans farm to me, next to my pissy little bulb. I'm counting down the days...12  to go YAY!!
