http://monicargo.blogspot.com/2013/07/no-were-not-finding-out-babys-sex-and.html

Monday, July 29, 2013. No, We're Not Finding Out the Baby's Sex and Why We Can't Find Out the Baby's Gender. I hope that we continue to be this thoughtful about gender norms after the baby is born, and as we continue in our parenting journey. Edited to add the following addendum:. Amended a second time to add:. July 29, 2013 at 2:27 PM. July 29, 2013 at 2:34 PM. July 29, 2013 at 9:15 PM. Youre beautiful and wonderful. i cant wait to meet the baby!

cabbage tree farm: December 2014

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 26, 2014. Season's greetings to everyone, hope you had a lovely day. It's always a bit of a rush in the build up to Xmas day, especially here in NZ as it coincides with Summer and school holidays. We had a really nice day with family, the weather was warm and overcast and it was pleasant to sit outside on the deck without cooking in the hot sun! I will now share a photo of my first attempt at a gingerbread house from last year. You will see just how truely awful it was! At last we have o...

cabbage tree farm: March 2014

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 28, 2014. It's apple season here on CTF. I am steadily working my way through mountains of apples. OK 'mountains' might be a slight exaggeration, but there are certainly quite a few kilos! Here is a big box of delicious 'Reinette du Canada' apples - a French heirloom apple - that I picked yesterday. This variety is great for cooking, but it can also be eaten as a dessert apple. We usually cook it. Some of these apples get quite big. The biggest one I picked was 500g (18 oz)! Disappointingly...

cabbage tree farm: November 2014

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 14, 2014. The flu, hail storms and bread! Yesterday we had hail storms, sudden freezing showers straight out of the Antartic. Here's a photo of me holding a load of hail which had just fallen:. And this is what they looked like up against the ranchslider:. And (less impressively) outside on the deck:. The shower was preceded by this spectacular double rainbow:. Monday, November 3, 2014. There were games and a lolly scramble outside on the sports field. Music and dancing. Ended wi...Fun T...

cabbage tree farm: June 2014

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 30, 2014. OK so the credit must of course go to the bees rather than me for actually making. The beeswax. All I've done is just clean it up and let it solidify into nice blocks which I can then use for all sorts of crafts. You will notice I've put newspaper down to protect the garage floor, just in case of any spills. Once all the wax was used up, the molds were filled, the wax was left to cool and harden (overnight). So that's basically one way to process beeswax. I will probably melt a...

cabbage tree farm: August 2014

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 31, 2014. Today is (officially at least) the last day of Winter here in NZ. It has been appropriately wet and windy for the last few days, so I hope when Spring finally does arrive it will bring more sunny days and some slightly warmer temperatures. Mostly though, I look forward to those still days when I don't have to battle the wind to get anything done outdoors! We are quite exposed to the winds here being located on a peninsula in the Kaipara harbour. Thinking I might put in some more ...

cabbage tree farm: Rangpur lime marmalade

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2015/02/rangpur-lime-marmalade.html

Saturday, February 28, 2015. It's been a while since I've made any marmalade. In fact, it seems I last made up a batch of lime marmalade. In 2009 according to this blog! The Rangpur limes have by far been the hardiest and quickest growing of all of our citrus trees. They have handled drought, storms and a bit of neglect pretty well. They consistently have fruit on them. All this is much appreciated since the other citrus, especially the lemons, are growing quite slowly. Gill - That British Woman. No its ...

cabbage tree farm: October 2014

http://cabbagetreefarm.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Flower photos - garden and orchard. Just sharing a few photos taken around CTF. We are in mid Spring and things are blooming nicely. I need to remove the large overgrown lemongrass plant (in middle of photo), split it up and replant elsewhere! Flowers on the bank. The bank is looking a lot better, covered in flowers at this time of year. Plenty for the bees to feed on. A bicoloured Californian poppy (self germinated). The original Californian poppy. Unknown variety of rose.

Iris Quilt | Marigolde's Solarium

https://marigolde.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/iris-quilt

Arts, crafts, all things creative. So I began re-stitching it. It has been at least two years now since I’ve worked on it but I think about getting it out once in a while and resuming the process. Here is an image of the quilt:. And here is a better picture of the damage, followed by a picture of some of the repair stitching. Embroidery is not something I am proficient at but by the time I finish the last stem and flower and leaf I’m sure they will be looking much nicer than these first few! Aug 29, 2011.
