The Adventure Begins...

Polka dots, pansies, pet lambs and pie.

I have always loved to cook, usually liked gardening and have recently come back (at the ripe old age of 24) to sewing and wanted to share my adventures. While I live (most of the time) in the city my real home is the farm where I grew up and which is home to a series of pets, some more permanent than others.
Since it is winter where I am there has been a whole crop of new lambs over the last couple of months, 4 of which my parents are bottle feeding as they have been orphaned or abandoned. They really are very affectionate when they are small (and even when they are big – there are few things more affectionate than a very wet sheep, wool holds a lot of water).

I have also recently finished my first skirt made entirely by myself with a hand sewn in zip (no assistance – not even advice). This marks my entry back into the world of sewing for myself. Mum loves to sew and taught me growing up. I think my first piece of wool on hessian dates from about the age of 2 1/2 years old. But I didn’t like sewing my own clothes, I wanted to buy them like everyone else and so was a stubborn daughter and haven’t done much sewing at all for the last few years. Now I have decided that sewing is fun (or rather having clothes that fit well and that I like is fun – sewing is how you get there).

So this will be my adventures  in sewing, my fun in the garden and kitchen and updates on my various pets after trips home to the farm.
