Weekend end.

This weekend we walked through the top orchard and picked some apples and pears and quinces. We filled a crate but left most of them on the trees to ripen some more.

We hung upside down and sang songs that I used to sing when I was little. We drew with chalk and ate toasted sandwiches for lunch and we practised tricks on the trapeze.

We walked around the farm and were carried and we weeded the vegie garden. We painted a bit of the caravan and knitted a couple of rows. We've washed and labeled and packed Indi up for camp tomorrow.

We hung out at The Hepburn Folk Festival where Farmer Bren took some film and then later edited the footage into a little film. Its made him so happy working on that film and that's made me pretty happy too.

And I made another small dress. Ha! Did you think I was going to do an entire post without a dress?


Its in my shop if you were wondering.

Its got a granny pocket for treasure collecting.
All clothes must have pockets these days according to Miss Pepper.

And this one has long sleeves because although the days are bright and sunny, they can get chilly when the sun goes behind the clouds.

What have you been up to?

I hope this coming week is a fantabulous one for all of us!
I hope some really exciting things happen.

Bye for now. X

  1. We went bike riding so the 2 kidlets getting used to either training wheels or gears could practice. We had friends for lunch who had to leave early as their little girls' allergies to our cats started playing up :(
    I spent this afternoon shoo-ing the kids outside to play while I made sure that my new toy *cough* anniversary present (opened 5 days early) worked. I love my new ball winder and swift but am a little sad that the bonding time with hubby while I wind a ball is no more...My little one doesn't demand pockets for her treasures yet. In time I am sure...

  3. Gorgeous colours everywhere. I am actually hoping for a quiet soft week. Nothing exciting. Just simple and comfort. That is what we need.

  5. Gorgeous photos Kate, orchards are so lovely, and little girls swinging in apple trees - how beautiful!

    I've been making tomato sauce all weekend, and planting bulbs and brassicas in the garden and buying quinces from the farmers market. Must be autumn.

    Take care this week - I hope it's better than the last.

  12. What a lovely weekend! I love the thoughts of going to pick your own fruit! Our weekend isn't over yet so as Maisie's new word is 'playground' and that's all she's been saying all morning I guess that's where we'll be going!

  14. Another gorgeous dress, totally getting the essential pocket concept. My Liongirl will only wear items with pockets- down to about 4 of 20 potential outfits. I think I will have to order one of your dresses to expand the options- now just choosing is the hard bit.

  16. You've been busy! I love all of your little dresses and wish I had a little miss to sew dresses like that for. Our apples are ready now too and a few like yours need a bit more time to ripen. The weather has been good here for fruit this year. Enjoy your week!

  17. It's spring here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA and I have been planting peas and carrots and lettuce.
    I just started another blog www.teatimewitholof.blogspot.com where I am documenting my journey to a healthier home and body and I am in my last year of grad school where I am getting my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology.
    I'm also planing on taking part in knitting blog week and have posted the guidelines on my www.knittingwitholof.com blog.

    Hope you have a beautiful week,
    Olof

Thanks so much for stopping by...

I do read every single comment you leave and appreciate it very much, but I should let you know that I can be a wee bit on the useless side when replying to comments, that's just me, everyday life sometimes gets in the way....so I'll apologise now, just in case.
