Windy weather and roman blinds

Quite a breezy last night the wind was much stronger and lasted longer than forecast. There was some damage to fences but thankfully the trees all survived! I've mended some of the fences and put sheep hurdles in the remaining gaps so the sheep don't go for a walk round neighbours gardens!
I started a roman blind for my back door yesterday I found some instructions on the Channel 4 website. http://www.channel4.com/4homes/how-to/decorating/how-to-make-a-roman-blind. This is my first blind, its interesting to make and I have chosen quiet a lively print which echos the colours in the furniture in my kitchen.

The instructions don't always make sense so I might do my own for the blog.

Weather and new stock

This morning we had the first and hopefully last snow of the year, the photo shows the part of the garden which had the most snow!

The weather changed quiet quickly today from snow and ice to wet and windy, the sheep were waiting to go in at teatime, but thankfully its much better here than in other parts of the country. 

Yesterday I updated the website with new stock, I have just dyed a new range of silk caps and trilobal nylon.
