woollen rooster...

...doorstops to prop open your yuletide door
perhaps?
all made with welsh wool cloth
woven at a local woollen mill
keeping alive an industry that was once huge in wales
and produced some of the finest woven fabrics

this woollen mill does indeed produce beautiful wool cloth

check out this great woollen mill at the national wool museum of wales


tea cosies too

keep cosie

sunshine means...

...a yarn drying day
hurray for the sun
a great chance to wash hand spun yarn
and get all that sunshine loveliness into it
local jacob and beulah speckled face fleeces
make lovely yarn
and this lovely lot when dry
is ready to crochet into
 winter neck warmers and cosy cushions
and the chickens went on their merry way
happy to be out in the sun too

happy sunshine weekend folks

here at nellie and eve hq we are getting set for the
new season ahead




battening done the hatches after the last few days of
                           
      wet and very windy weather


                                                      autumn is well and truly upon us

leaves have fallen everywhere in the garden


but i do love this time of year

the beautiful colours

the smell of wood smoke from the chimney

autumnal walks with the doggies


great news...
our lovely cockerel chuck had his first cry today

hurray we shout

although we may not be soo happy when this happens every day at 0500

  but for now we are really chuffed he has finally found his voice



looking back to the days of harvesting

our peas and potatoes

now in storage

the hard work done for the year                                                           




there is something very rewarding about growing
and harvesting your own food and being able to go to the store cupboard where once it was the
super market







need to grow heaps more next year










walks with the doggies gives me a great
excuse
to wear my new neck warmer                                                                          
warm and cosy
no bulky long scarves to wrap                                                 
round and round and round                                                                               
you get the idea...                                              

find them in our shop now


                                            


                    

     
and as the weather turns a little colder

there is nothing more lovely than a hot cup of tea

made in the pot


with a super tea cosy

to keep it all warm

...and nellie and eve have been crocheting away

making tea cosies a plenty



we wanted to say a big congratulations to a lovely cafe/bookshop in Brecon

called The Hours

they have been open for one whole month and doing really well


nellie and eve made the bunting for the big opening at the beginning of october
well done Leigh and Nicky


clocks go back tonight
so dark short days to come
but an hour lie in tomorrow

hope you enjoy it
