An Unexpected Turn And Some New Arrivals ... :)

Well our lives have taken an unexpected turn ...
Over the last wee while, we’ve been keeping a careful, but distant eye on a litter of kittens born in our stable. Their mum is wild and has apparently abandoned them ... 
Last night, was so cold, we became very concerned ... the kittens (4) were barely moving and two were barely breathing. Still no mum in sight ...
So, we did what we could to keep them warm overnight, with my wonderful daughter on night duty. Checking again this morning, still no mum and some very hungry, cold and weak kittens. It was time intervene. So we gathered them up, brought them inside to the kitchen and made a dash to our local vet, for advice and formula.
They’re so tiny, my heart aches for them ...
We’re now on a feeding schedule and they seem much happier ... definitely more vocal and active.
All fed and snuggled in a cosy jumper on my heating pad, I really hope they’ll be OK ... fingers crossed. 
I guess we’ll have some farm cats after all ... :)

Raised Bed Garden Upgrade And Winter Crafts ...

11/10/2020

I really do love this time of year, lighting the fire for the first time, mugs of hot chocolate, autumnal colours, homemade soups and a chance to slow down ... just a bit.
Things are definitely a lot quieter in the garden and that gives me the chance to concentrate on our little homestead craft shop. My knitting needles and yarn come out and I really enjoy planning out my winter projects.
I’m slightly obsessed with chunky yarn at the moment, I love a scarf you can snuggle into and I love how quickly it knits up. So cosy ...
I’ve also been finishing up some sparkly headbands / neck warmers, the yarn is interlaced with metallic thread, which really looks so pretty. I think with the way things have been going this year, we could all use some extra sparkle in our lives.
As for outdoor projects, I’m so excited ... I’ve been wanting a tap in our raised bed garden FOREVER, years in fact and finally it’s been installed. I’m so, so grateful, I can’t tell you ... It really should make life so much easier and save so much time. I think we’re probably going to look into a drip system, to free up even more time ... if anyone has any recommendations we love to hear them.
Anyway, I’m off to pop my latest knits into our shop ... hope your having a great weekend. Stay safe, stay positive, smile ... Xxx

Our Polycrub Has Doors and Windows ... :)

​Autumn has definitely arrived ... So just in the nick of time, we have the outer structure of the Polycrub finish. The ends are up and the stable door is on. It was such a wonderful feeling to be able to walk through the door ... and close it behind me. I have a feeling this space will become my sanctuary, especially over the winter months. At the other end of the crub, the window is in, it just needs a latch to secure it.
But now we’ve moved onto the exciting part of planning the interior layout and scouring through many, many seed catalogues. It really does make me so happy ...
I think we’ve decided on raised beds, with a small corner for a table and a couple of chairs ... because who wouldn’t want to sit amongst their plants
On another note and because the weathers been so dreich, my daughter and I have been busy with our crafts. She’ll be listing some gorgeous needle felt Halloween hoops on her Etsy shop (HenrySays), tonight (Sunday) at 6pm ... I think the wee ghost is my favourite
Me, well I’ve been busy knitting as usual, but I’ve also made a start on stitching some Christmas cards. Trying to keep things fun, with tiny tinkling bells and googly eyes ...
Anyway, hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. I’m hoping to put up some bird boxes today ... Stay safe and sending love from our homestead ... Xxx
