Winter

I did feel sorry for the old boy this morning - Frosted! He was very happy to get his hay.



I would also like to say thank you to Cindy for holding her competition for making fillagree fling on bead and button. A really big thank you as I won the competition and got five free tutorials!


here is the original bracelet in purple with orange accents that I made first then decided I didn't want a necklace in those colours

Winter on the farm

I worked so hard this morning. Most of the farm workers went to vacinate and teat seal the heifers today, I stayed with a couple of others and we had to feed all the cows this morning. 9 mobs of about 400 cows. Let them on to their straw first thing in the frost and I carried 20 kg bags of magnesium to their troughs on my shoulder through the mud that they create by being on a restricted area. After that we had to shift a mob that wanted to run I was in front trying to slow them down but they wanted to run being hungry. After that we had to give them their break of swedes. Also a hard job they are horrid things to walk in are swedes make you look completely pissed trying to walk in a straight line while trying to set up the electric fence ready for tomorrow.
I feel that I did some real work today rather than doing fencing or making irrigation bits. Yesterday was cool - I planted trees.

No beads today. I am still trying to write a story to go with my bead challenge piece that we - Beadhive divas are taking part in.
