Stitches

Technology has got the better of me and I am having difficulty posting ,so just a few photos of my experiments with free motion embroidery.


I find text very hard to do




Today I had a go at adding photos


I was very pleased with how this turned out.


I also made two pages for the journal swap over at Milliande

childhood memory

one colour
My Pages for Tina's Journal



I also received a Pin from Mel Made,in a scented package



Easter Sunday my husband an I planted 500 willow stems in the bunding  (soil banks )we have built in our fields,and we have another 500 to plant.Luckily it has rained all day today,so they should have a good start.

Horse Free (for now)

 

At last I can think about something else other than horses and although we are horse free for now ,we cannot let our guard down.

So we have had over 2000 tons of soil brought in to build a bund

this is one of the gates that was being used for access

We still have a lot of work ahead as 23 acres needs to be bunded and then planted to blend in,not sure I will have much time for art.

I am just going to post some photos of little Miss X and random shots.

As you can see we have had glorious warm sunny weather,and guess what > this week it might snow.

Unwanted Visitors

 

I have been very slow in blogging lately due to to the amount of time and effort it is taking to keep our fields horse free.

Back on the 13th of February i posted a photo of a gelding which had as I thought been abandoned,it was soon  joined by 5 pregnant mares.

Since then the horses have been illegally put onto our fields ,we remove them and they are then put back sometimes within hours. We are on our own dealing with the problem as the law in this country does not make Fly Grazing an offence. It is causing a great deal of stress and  we are never sure what we will find when we wake up.

The horses are in a very poor condition.

 

Razor wire has been considered,but we do not want it to look like a combat zone.

On a brighter note I have done just a little art/craft

I made these earrings with images which can be purchased from Palma

I also made a pendant and have started a bracelet

Palma creates some wonderful art and her Etsy shop is well worth a visit.

I received a cute pin from Kathy

and two journal pages from Julie

Also from Julie a St Patrick ATC

I have my own bead sorter

who sometimes arrives in her own transport

She also like to play with boxes

and black Labradors
