The chooks are laying again an we have had rain!

The chooks seem to be laying again so it will be rosewater macaroons on the weekend and the lovely cooler overcast weather with a few showers has made everything lush and green.

Christmas at Home Cottage!

Only home made gifts under the tree this year: like hats from my own spun wool, soy candles, dreadlock scarves, felted needlebooks and dried fruits in riesling. We made the gift tags from the brown card that the gift wrap was rolled around .

Plenty of food at Home Cottage!

Sticking seeds and seedlings everywhere several weeks ago has certainly paid off! There is silverbeet to harvest, little tomatoes, so many herbs, zuchinni and button squash. The sweet corn is growing and there is heaps of Chinese stir fry greens growing with a few weeks to go until harvest time. The cos lettuces and parsley are still a bit small and I am hoping to harvest the pumpkin for New Year.

Home made and home grown lunch.....

A delicious lunch was eaten at Home Cottage today home grown from beetroot, tomatoes, violets, nasturtium and cucumber. It was laced with herbs such as lemon verbena, lemon myrtle, basil, spearmint, peppermint and parsley. So yummy!

Rainbow dyeing

A lovely lady named Kaye introduced me to a new dyeing method and from now on all my dyeing will be done this way. As you can see the rainbow colours are beautifully vibrant and I am so happy with the results!
