POLKADoT Farm

...nothing better than a breath of fresh air!

The simplest things in life can sometimes give you so much pleasure. Yesterday was a breath of fresh air, as the wind blew strong, and there wasn't a spit of rain in the air...so i was overjoyed to get washing out on the line, after having months of clothes and sheets hanging on airers in the cottage, cluttering up space, and taking days to dry! I can't believe we are in the last week of January, and that Spring is only around the corner! Its lovely to see the days start to lengthen, and the bulbs breaking through the ground! A true sign of Spring for us on the farm is lambing!!! Tomorrow we are scanning just under 400 sheep to see how many lambs they are each having come April!! Fingers crossed they are all mostly in lamb...and we don't have too many triplets!

Thank you

Thank you for all your congratulations for Baby Duncan. He is doing really well, and now the weather is starting to improve we are getting out and about for walks.

I am busy making Thank you cards at the mo, and have been racking my brain for days  on what kind of design to go for. I visited a craft warehouse that is tucked away in an industrial estate in Stirling for some inspiration this week, and came away with a few buys, and a few ideas.

I found this lovely paper with stars, and an alphabet zoo paper too, which are both fun, and baby boyish without being to 'twee'.

 

I also bought some stamps, including the alphabet, which is in the first pic, and a wee baby pea pod, which is very cute,and I just had to have, even though I have no use for it in my card design..but have stamped the back of each card with it just for some added cute-ness! 

  

So after much cutting and sticking, I have created my card design...just got lots to make now..but its very therapeutic. It is so lovely to get back making stuff again between feeds sleeps and nappies!! So hopefully I'll get into Glasgow to my plate suppliers, and get painting my plates again soon!
