Our New Lambs

I just have a couple of piccies that I would like to share with you!!  We have just got 3 new lambs to raise.  Two of them are older but one was only about  2 days old at the time ( he is now about a week old). 'Cos he is so tiny and it is sooo cold here at the moment, I have borrowed a little jacket that belongs to Diggers - my friend Bev's little dog - just so I can keep him warm at night. Doesn't he look cute!!

And he just loves it!

Since the lambs have arrived, the kangaroos have had their noses put out of joint big time!! They didn't like them at all - thumping the ground and taking off down the back of the paddock. They have been there ever since. But it has now been 5 days since the lambs have been here and the kangaroos are slowly starting to accept them. This is Suzi starting to get a little inquisitive:

 Right after this shot was taken though, the lamb on the right who we have named Luke Kneewalker ('cos he has a deformity and walks on his knee!) started gambolling and scared her away!

Pendant Park

OK, so it's cold and wet and rainy here today - what better way to spend an afternoon than stamping! I got inpsired to do a bit of stamping after talking with my girlfriend and checking out some blogs. So this is what I did today:

The stamp set I have used is the Pendant Park set from the autumn mini catty and the DSP is the Urban Garden set. Cardstock I have used is Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss and Not Quite Navy. Do you like my bow?? I learned how to do this by watching a video on YouTube made by Tenealle Williams. Now she is a very clever and talented lady. If you want some inspiration, go check out her site!

This is the sketch:
