Life

I have been MIA for months. Literally months. I didn't mean for it to happen.  I was trying to have LESS time on the internet  &  it happened. Then things just snuck in & time slowly crept by. For those that are still checking out this little blog, I thank you. Here is a quick glance at what I have been up to.


As usual life has been kept busy with these ladies. More for my husband, than for I. Shearing came & went.

All the sheep were moved off the fields & back into the lambing sheds.
And then lambing began. The first lamb dropped on the ground Jan 1st. 3 weeks earlier than we planned.  We are down to our last few waiting to lamb, but it has been a long 3 months. My poor husband just keeps going & going, but I don't know after 90 plus days. He is superman.

I have been trying to get a few minutes in of sewing here & there as I can. And to have LESS unfinished projects lying around my home.

We discovered the boy number 5 will still be in blue. This has been the main reason for my absence. I only have 8 or so weeks left, but am lucky to enjoy morning sickness for the entire 10 months. So with everyday feeling awful. or at least throwing up in the morning, things don't always happen as I would like.

We have tried home school experiments that haven't worked & some that have. If anyone discovered the secret to building your own hot air balloon, please let me know. We have tried multiple you tube videos & tutorials all of wish never even get off the ground.

 So I am hoping to get back on here, once or twice a week again, but no absolute promises yet. At least not for 8 more weeks. I will try, but for now we  have been just spending our days trying to get by & make the most of what we have. Trying to enjoy more of the simple things: like watching a boy & his dog.

  1. 8 WEEKS?! I can't believe it. That sure has gone by quickly (for me!) :) I'm so sorry you are so ill! I've only vomited once in four pregnancies. I cannot even imagine. Do you have a name picked out yet? It is great to see a post from you. I love your fabric!

    1. Thanks, the mornings are slow in my pregnancy but it has gone fairly quickly. I think we have narrowed down a name, but it took us a while. I just finished up the quilt I was making with that fabric. I will have to get it posted up here. I heard you are making a quilt. I want to see it!!

  2. That's a lot of sheep. I can't imagine how exhausted you all are after lambing season. I was just remembering hanging out at your house a few years ago feeding bum lambs. Have any this year? Maybe we'll have to come help! :) Sorry you haven't been feeling well. I'm looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks!

    1. I can't say too much about being exhausted from lambing. Jeremy has done all the work this year & I just show up occasionally to take pictures & check on things. My kids still talk about your visit when we were feeding all those bum lambs. It was fun, but no we don't have any this year. Anything bums we have gotten has gone to Jeremy's sister & her kids. I am excited for next weekend as well. It seems like a long time since I have seen you last. Love ya

  4. These aren't free or homade, but its the best price we found. They are fantastic! We are headed your way this summer, we are going to try and stop to see y'all. I will save the ones we have left from New Years for you. I think it will be too hot to do them, but they keep. Love your hubby's roommate's wife...the one who also has 5 kids.
