Spring is here but Tassie didn’t get the memo – looks like its housework for me today!
Which is why now is the perfect time to do last nights blog- in the spirit of procrastination!
So… my new photo challenge on Facebook has started. The first subject is ‘Purple’ I didn’t manage to get anything super inspiring so I pinched one of Jeffs rocks. Amethyst is purple… it does the job!! At least I have the next two subjects covered with a bit more creativity!
I cut the loaf soap! Was really pleased with how it cut! For the first time no breaking – lovely and smooth. Plus the marbled colours are a bit fun.
We went out to Bunnings to grab the last lot of timber so we can complete the structures for the new garden plot.
Jeff is on nights for a bit so I have to wait before they can go together. I could do it but I certainly can’t lift a whole section myself. Patience.
I got some seedlings too. A tomato to start things happening in the hothouse, plus some lettuce seedlings.
The lettuce I got because I am intending to run a workshop for beginner gardeners next weekend. I can use them to show how to separate and plant seedlings. Was too early to grow my own batch.
Its just a hands on basic class on where to start to give people confidence to go home and throw something together and get into it.
I confess I am a little nervous. I want max. 8 people. I think there are 4 confirmed, one maybe.
The chooks are laying well and fairly steadily.
All around there are teasing signs of spring.
Tulips pushing their way up.
The protea just keeps going.
The freesia are struggling to find room to bloom, poor things
This self sown silverbeet has grown happily all winter among the flowers and weeds! Amazing. No help from me at all.
I cleared out the big woodbox in the (very very messy) BBQ area. Its now ready to take all the new stuff we’ve been cutting. It held all the smaller sized wood which has been great with boosting up the fire over the winter. Was worth the effort of cutting and stacking.
Anyway – I guess I should go look at some housework type jobs.
I need to find the dining room table again.
Perhaps later indulge in some soap making??
Who knows!
Happy Sunday!
Cheers
My dear Lisa,
What ARE you going to do withall that soap you’ve been making? It’s lovely and I bet your house smells good too.
I’m gathering my peppers to make your chili sauce again. Can’t wait, just finished my last jar about 2 weeks ago.
hahaha – you know… Jeff keeps looking at me and I am SURE thinking the same question! Its like an addiction!! I will be able to make up some nice Christmas packs this year – something different from crochet lol. I do hope I will be able to sell some at markets over the upcoming warmer season. Fingers crossed!
Oh you too?? I only discovered tonight that we are officially out of the sweet chilli sauce!! It was a sad moment. I will have to make time to fish a bag of chillies out of the freezer and make up a batch!
I might even have to grow more this season!! Its such a good sauce that one isn’t it? mmmm
