Its the start of a new year 2017! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's late, everyone's in bed, I'm having trouble sleeping these days as my mind has shifted direction. My eldest son has just finished year 12 and has left home and my youngest about to turn 5 no longer needs the nurturing I am used to providing...as for the other Gooseberries in between they could take it at leave it on a good day as well! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pop back to this little space every now and then, visit a few old blogger friends, its nice to see there are still a few around. I might pop back again soon. (now that I have remembered my password) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nice to be here again. xx</div>

I'm back to share with you the beauty that surrounded us here one Friday morning last month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For one day it seemed like the world just stopped!</div>

<i>My tip to you:</i> If your ever lucky enough to make a snowman, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Try wearing plastic bags over your gloves, it saves a whole lot of soggy gloves and keeps your hands warm and dry.</div>

We did come across a young lamb that needed a bit of tender loving care and a warm place to rest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little one unable to stand and suffering from mild hypothermia was quickly brought in and warmed by the fire for a couple of days.</div>

Today there has been a few snow flurries flying around, mostly rain though and it Freezing....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm keeping toasty by the fire and enjoying some me time typing away on the computer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People often ask how could I have moved from sunny Qld to Orange NSW and how do I cope with the weather? Well it's this beauty of the cold that I admire. I think we live in a very lovely spot,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A born & bred Queenslander, I could never of imagined it being like this.Now I can't wait for those beautiful spring blossoms to pop out, there just around the corner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bye, I will be back... Promise...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I happen to stumble across two great gardening books recently,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they are easy to understand and seem to make a lot of sense.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that I am experiencing a new climate with seasons, bulbs, deciduous trees</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and extremely cold temperatures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a couple of easy read books like these are going to very helpful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Did you notice the Forsythia, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one just happen to find me in the nursery last week,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it seems like quite an interesting shrub,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I imagine it will be very pretty both in the garden and in a vase.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am excited to try the flowering twigs this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you think it could work for my Crab apple (above) as well, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm guessing it will. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can not wait for spring again, this flowering Crab Apple</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would have to be one of the most beautiful trees that I have ever seen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You just wait and see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also last month, a patch was plotted for my Vegetable garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dug up a bit of soil to play with and popped in a few seedlings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything was growing well...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well,all until the cows stuck their head over the fence and ate the tops of my cabbages! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hubby tells me that I have to find a new spot!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do I really have to start all over AGAIN?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day after Hubby gets everything done on <i>his</i> to do list then<br />
he <i>promises</i> me some lovely raised beds like I had before.<br />
They will also need to be Bigger this time, we have Bigger tummies to feed these days.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Anyway, I managed to salvage a few of the cabbages and just moved them </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
away from the fence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have the good old silverbeet growing well, it's quite a hardy plant and seems to really grow anywhere, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
and Rocket, I love Rocket, can't have a salad without Rocket, and once again, it seems to grow anywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've planted a few radish seeds and snowpeas and sugarsnaps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I've dug in a few essential herbs, Rosemary, Parsley, Oregano, Dill and Spring Onions, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They all seem to be surviving, but I do have to say </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
that I am just a bit nervous about growing here, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
other than the cows, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
there is frost and sometimes there are days with no sunshine, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I mean No sunshine, none at all! </div>
Remember I was previously from Queensland, <i>The Sunshine State!</i><br />
I may need to invest in a hot house! Anyone use one?<br />
<br />
So, that's about it in the garden for now.<br />
Other than the house and some lovely matured fruit trees<br />
we really have had to start from scratch,<br />
Time and patience though, we'll get there.<br />
We're still having plenty of fun, learning some new lessons,<br />
and making new memories along the way.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A strap of Vintage sheet, a fold and pleat of an Aussie tea towel </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there you have it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Peg Apron.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my To DO list for ages has been to make myself a Peg Apron.<br />
I usually were a tuckshop apron when I hang out the washing<br />
but I find the pockets are a little bit small and<br />
I'm continually filling up my pockets from the peg basket,<br />
it kind of defeats the whole purpose really.<br />
I'd love to take the credit for creating this beauty myself<br />
but I actually picked it up a couple of weeks ago at my favourite Vinnies store.<br />
Twas just what I needed and I couldn't have made it better myself.<br />
You'd like this one <a href="http://zaranne-handmade.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Zara</a>, it looks like something straight out of your collection!<br />
With A Big deep pocket filled with Pegs now,<br />
I'm ready to tackle all that washing again!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crafting up some new home decor this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a lack of colour around the place, Home is not feeling as homely as I would like it yet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A splash of crafty goodness here and there should spruce it up a bit,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
give it a little more of a personal touch and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the best part is that it really costs next to nothing to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Near everything I use in my home has been op shopped, re-purposed or handmade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a bit mix matched, a bit of vintage love about, retro, 80's and modern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I find at my next Op shop visit, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and what might attract me on the next blog I read, all influences my style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm getting back into good old habits again now </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and spending a little bit of spare time sewing and crocheting </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I'm wrapping lots of things with fabric and wool! very therapeutic... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making your own home is rewarding </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you end up with some very unique and interesting pieces around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The children will sometimes help or sometimes not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you have any good ideas for a handmade home </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or perhaps some interesting links you may want to share?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

So, that's what we've all been up to...<br />
Busy little bees, I tell you there is never a dull moment around here.<br />
As you can see, we have a good mixture of fruit trees,<br />
and would you believe there has been even too much for us to eat so there has been loads of preserving,<br />
Fig Jam, Plum Paste and Apricot Sauce...<br />
The vegetable garden is started but a slow process,<br />
the banging wall is up,<br />
alongside the new Cubby!<br />
there is always renovating going on,<br />
always a cup of tea around and always something baking in the oven,<br />
The stock numbers are slowly increasing, the sheep that is, not the children!<br />
At Christmas time we welcomed some furry friends, Floyd & Tilly to the family...<br />
This is our first Winter here and it bring so many new experiences for us.<br />
Two fire places keep us warm,<br />
we are waiting for our first frost<br />
and hoping that we may be sprinkled with a light fall of snow in the coming weeks.<br />
Farm life is working wonderfully for us, we are right back in full swing again.</div>

Snow is forecast for the week ahead. Brrrr...Lovely....<br />
<br />
I have been buying eggs for two years now! Two years!! Can't believe it!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week on my weekly shopping trip to town I had this sudden urge to call into the Produce shop and buy some chickens, <i>SO I DID!</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone called me a mother hen once, I know now what they mean...<br />
This is home for them at the moment, snuggy in front of the fire. <br />
They'll need a little nurturing for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chirpy little things they are...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What fun, getting this neglected ol' Blog of mine up and running again!<br />
These posts are going to be all over the place for a while though.<br />
I've got so many drafts written and my finger is hovering over the publish button.<br />
I'm starting to feel excited about everything again, <i>but in a different way now</i>.<br />
This space motivates me and keeps me on track,<br />
it reminds me of what I am striving for and the importance of what I can achieve in the everyday.<br />
This Blog reflects all the wonderful things around me<br />
so you will never see dirty dishes, smelly laundry,<br />
cake crumbs all over the floor and unmade beds on these pages.<br />
You will not hear about my two year old Tanties and my Teenagers woes,<br />
you will not see my unsuccessful craft attempts , burnt jam or moth eaten cabbages.<br />
<i>Well, maybe sometimes you</i> <i>will </i>but mostly I'm just keeping track of all the <i>lovely</i>, fun, s<i>uccessful </i> homemaking stuff<br />
thrown in with a few random pics of our farm life, as we know it.<br />
I hope you enjoy these pages again,<br />
or if your a new reader,<br />
Welcome. I look forward to meeting you.<br />
<br />
Oh I nearly forgot: <br />
<br />
Homegrown <i>from the front yard</i> - <i><b>Walnuts</b></i> & <i><b>Persimmons </b></i> xx<br />
<br />
More Lovely Autumness below - better late than never!!<br />

We're BACK!<br />
Let me reacquaint you with my family,<br />
this is Me, Hubby and the Six, all grown up just a little more...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These figures are little magnetic laminated <i>us</i>!</div>
Just like ABC letters they live up on the fridge and are fun for all to play with.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MT_I_Hsyx9U/U55sCEFD7nI/AAAAAAAAFg8/m8bbbt6ubDY/s1600/DSCN1904.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MT_I_Hsyx9U/U55sCEFD7nI/AAAAAAAAFg8/m8bbbt6ubDY/s1600/DSCN1904.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />

A quick tutorial for you and if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them in your comments.<br />
<br />
1.Google some Vintage patterns, Woman, Men, Teenager, child etc..<br />
Save the image then print it out. <br />
2. Select a good photo of each member of your family, print out<br />
3. Cut out your heads and paste them onto the vintage outfit you have chosen<br />
4. Laminate then cut out laminate figure<br />
5. Stick a magnet on the back, I used a good quality roll of sticky magnetic tape.<br />
Done, Your Family is ready for the Fridge<br />
and <i>hours </i>of entertainment for your children.<br />
<br />
Now, I did actually waste quite a lot of paper and ink having to print out our head shots and bodies and match up the correct size of head/body ratio, but in saying that, the girls loved playing with the out of proportioned bodies and heads that did not make it onto the fridge, just like paper dolls.<br />
A simple but fiddly process, it was well worth it in the end.<br />
This is actually our only Family portrait<br />
and we get to rearrange it anyway we like!<br />

So how have <i>You</i> been? I would love to hear from you.<br />
I've missed this space and am hoping to get back on a regular basis again now.<br />
I'll spend the next few weeks catching up on everything<br />
we've been up to in the last <i>eight months</i> since we moved out to our new property.<br />
It's more amazing than we could ever had imagined!<br />
There is so much I want to share with you. x</div>

It felt like it was never going to happen, the past twelves months </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of living in town has been something of a blurr...,<br />
Not only did I lose the closeness to my family but I really did lose a part of me when we left our little farm in Queensland to make a new home way down in<br />
Central Western New South Wales.<br />
Finally, now my life seems to be all falling back into place again<br />
and I'm back on the path where I wish to be.<br />
I knew I would get there eventually,<br />
I just wasn't sure when it was ever going to happen.</div>

In Qld we often dreamt about having more land when we were making home on our five acres,<br />
so it seems that our up and move was a blessing,<br />
a great excuse to actually move in the direction we really wanted.<br />
So long story short,<br />
we have found ourselves a comfortable old run down farmhouse<br />
and its a whopping 93 acres<br />
just 30 km out of town.<br />
The farm itself is not large enough to financially sustain a living<br />
but it's big enough to provide the sustainable lifestyle we crave for our family.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's overwhelming, we're not quite sure where to start . <br />
An eighties style four bedroom brick house awaits us,<br />
there will be painting,<br />
re flooring,<br />
kitchen & bathroom renos,<br />
ripping out of overgrown gardens,<br />
lopping of overgrown trees,<br />
building of sheds and chook coops,<br />
raised veggie garden beds (to keep out the rabbits)<br />
the restoration of an amazing old wool shed<br />
and<br />
buying stock for the property...<br />
Then there will be baking and preserving and crafting and crochet!<br />
One step at a Time!<br />
Oh, I do love a challenge!<br />

Oh how time flies....! Sorry for my absence, again...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things have been moving along as usual, I love my new community and continue to embrace everything it has to offer. It's been 12 months now since the move. Wow! </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
We have our eyes on a small property just out of town so if all goes to plan, come Spring, Gooseberry Jams pages will once again be splashed with chickens, sheep, fruit trees, country inspired recipes and cute kids enjoying some space to roam. </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps then, my scatter brain may be clear again </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I can schedule some time to reunite with the blogging community.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of my girls told me last week that I was a very clever mum, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and then she asked me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Can mums make rainbows?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, of course we can...Us mums can do anything, Right!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Here is my rainbow pattern.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I call it <i>a rainbow hug</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Firstly chain stitch a row to fit around the base of your tin or glass jar or whatever you choose to hug.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At the end of the row turn back into each chain with a double crochet, join with slip stitch and tie off. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Add a new colour, double crochet a row, join with slip stitch and tie off. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Repeat with rainbow colours until you have reached the height of your tin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Use as desired.</span><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AJOkgvNl7no/USQ7n06sOzI/AAAAAAAAEzU/aCtq3EdoBg0/s1600/DSCN8690.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AJOkgvNl7no/USQ7n06sOzI/AAAAAAAAEzU/aCtq3EdoBg0/s640/DSCN8690.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>No time to Crochet</i> - If you keep a bag of mixed yarn in your handbag for those times your stuck waiting, ie; school pick up, doctors/ dentists, airports, kettle to boil etc...hook a quick row here and a quick row there and in no time you will have your very own rainbow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone else got a special pattern for a rainbow?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Sale at my local oppy... I'm there!<br />
<br />
Can I justify my purchases. Lets try...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
50 c aprons ~ you can never have enough aprons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$2 tablecloth ~ or table cloths</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Single wool blanket $4 ~ the cooler air is creeping in already here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Covered coat hangers, a bundle of 4 for 50c ~ I have realised there is a real need for one to crochet covers on coat hangers. It stops the ends digging into your knit garments. Its true, it works, my mum always told me that, but I never listened... they are also very pretty!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
20 c books ~ a bit of wisdom for me and a bit of crafting for the children</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deep Pyrex dish $2 ~ my new baked rice dish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tray $1 ~ too pretty , I'm into peachy/apricot colours at the moment and I might need it to carry my tea and cake out to the garden.<br />
Set of 4 melamine mugs, saucers and plates $2 ~ so I don't break any more china cups when<br />
I picnic at the park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Green dish ~ free (say no more)<br />
<a href="http://www.gooseberryjamman.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/a-new-old-dolly-and-her-bed.html" target="_blank">Baby bed</a> complete with all linen, pillow, hand-stitched woolen blanket and dolly $10 ~ 5 girls in the house, do you think I could leave this behind?<br />
Oh and the little shoes, $2 ~ Laura is nearly walking, she'll need these soon!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roses ~ fresh from my garden</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quite a big shop in one day and Yes, I think I needed it all.<br />
<span style="text-align: start;">Do you also feel the need to justify your uncontrollable urges to thrift! I know I'm not alone!!</span></div>

I've finally got to the bottom of that washing/folding pile and I have cleaned out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the messes from under the beds!<br />
No more moping around and feeling sorry for myself!<br />
I've turned over a new leaf<br />
and<br />
suddenly, everything seems to be a lot clearer again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hubby's been researching a few local properties and<br />
perhaps a new outlook lies ahead of us sooner rather than later. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my camera close by again, I plan on starting to capture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a little bit of life as we know it, again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does this mean I'm Back....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One step at a time ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you, my loyal friends and followers for all your continued support and guidance along this new and unsettling path I've been traveling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nice to know there is such a wonderful, supportive and friendly community there when I need it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I should share a few photo's of my littlest Laura with you all. <a href="http://www.gooseberryjamman.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/its-girl.html" target="_blank">Would you just look at her now, she has grown up so much</a>. We will be celebrating her first birthday in about 6 weeks time. Can you believe that! </div>

She's a cheeky one... just one of the big kids now.</div>
