But I managed to squeeze in finalising the OSFM swim nappy pattern, in amongst the market busyness and custom orders-now just to make some for the site!
We had our Land for Wildlife assessment and got our really cool sign, woohoo! Lots of lantana clearing and reading has been a result, with our planning visit due in a few days time.
A goat appeared one day, it's not every day i'm sitting there feeding Frosty and look out the window to see one of them ambling past. He was duly returned to his home a few properties down after overnighting here on a run, luckily before he reached the food forest. Or he would have been chevon.
We had a broody chook comedy occur (more about that later) and have nine chicks as a result. So cute!
Which necessitated the building of a mini chook dome, much more successful result than the Linda Woodrow one (more about that later too).
Bella and Daisy the geese joined the family.
The food forest area has been pimped and is loving the rain that finally arrived-the resident brush turkey is a fan of the renos too.
The fairy garden was also pimped after the chooks turned it into a wasteland-it is now fenced as we try to come up with the final housing solution for them. The solar lanterns automatically turn on at dusk, which has been taken as concrete proof that fairies are there.
Christmas crafts and baking, with much camera slackery.
And sewing presents-five stocking to replace their ratty old bought things they had.
A Chickummyjig for F, which he ignores and the other kids adore.
Plus aprons and a pair of shorts each for the older four, more camera slackery.
Lots of playing with presents, but I only do it because the kids love it. You wouldn't catch my by myself. Never. *snort*
My babe turned one, and i'm still thinking it's all up from here :P
Plus a few trips to the beach, a pile of tie-dyeing, renovating the kids room and half the kitchen and lots more gardening and general tidying of the property, it's finally starting to look like a home.
And this is why the blogging is sloooow-looking at the above i'm surprised at how much we've managed to cram into one short month!
