Wool and cotton

We have some new additions to our little menagerie. 

Since we've lived here - about 2 years now - we've always battled with the long grass in our paddock. We had several calves in there for 6 months in the first year and then last season we had the pasture cut and baled. But in between, the grass grows very long and lush and hard to wade through.

So now we are sheep sitting for a while.

They are not too friendly but they do spend their day munching, which is just what we like!! I think they are Wiltshire (but I must check on that) which means that they don't need shearing. I'm expecting little bits of fluff all along our fences soon -  the birds will be very happy in spring!  





And the cotton? Well ...... thats an exciting addition to my doily stash! 

I love. love. love. them! My kids think I'm loopy "Mum, not more doilies"! but I just don't listen to them. 





Don't they look so lovely casting lacy shadows on the doona cover? 

Does any one else share my Doily Love?
