New Home


Our new little cottage, our place to call home, the start of a new beginning with new faces, new friends to make, new jobs and a rather large step closer to making our dreams happen. This move is the result of three years of study and hard work, our plan is to work and save, and with a fair part of my life for at least the next year to be spent working we're on the right track.

Currently all the boxes are being emptied, their contents trying to find their perfect spot. I'm looking forward to making this little cottage into our home. I've got many a plan of sewing tasks ahead of me- bunting, cushions, curtains, finish off the quilt for the bed, slip cover for the lounge; as well as all those non-sewing related- raised no-dig veggie gardens out the back, potted herbs out the front, sweet peas up the fence, wall picture galleries, dedicated sewing room, make a recycled timber bed and sewing table, framed tea towels for the wall and Pyrex and Johnson ware to display. So with all that, plus new op-shops to explore and work commencing in a couple of weeks I should be kept fairly busy.
 
Well better get back into it, the rest of the boxes aren't going to unpack themselves.


Have a wonderful Friday.
