Living in an empty house !

Good Morning ! Having breakfast before the packers arrived (this was on Weds). Luke's face says it all !

Anna-Kate in the lounge on Thursday morning.
The lounge from the hallway. Boxes, boxes everywhere.
In the dining room with her daddy.
In the playroom - posing.


From another angle.

Then we saw the sky - Thursday morning - it was a very strange colour!

The 20 foot container, waiting to be loaded with all our boxes.

One Week to Go !

We only have one week until we get on the plane leaving for Australia. It is getting very exciting now. Today I begin packing our suitcases. Tomorrow the packers come to begin packing up the house.

Boxes, boxes everywhere !

Our Farewell Party.

Three generations together - me, mum and Anna-Kate.

Having a chat while serious wii bowling was happening!

Now the group pics - my 'baby' sister (Abigail), Mum, me and Anna-Kate.

My 'baby' brother Ben, Mum, me, Abs in the front and Dad,

Ben being naughty and doing bunny ears (!!), Mum, me, Luke, Abs in the front with James and Dad,

Abs, Ad, Mum, Sarah and me,

Anna-Kate, James and Luke.

Luke and Greg having a giggle!

Even though it was sad it was a lovely day - we missed you Tom and Claire - sorry I was so unorganised and didnt get word to you about the do !

I love grey !

Ben, Sarah and James (big brother, his partner and son!) bought me the Happy Hooker crochet book for my birthday - so I decided to make a shawl from it on Friday. I wanted to use up my yarn before the big move. And I am loving grey at the moment !

Through the Front Door.

It is Saturday again, so time for another theme - this week's theme is - through the front door. Pop over here to see some more views. My view from the front door is not very exciting I must admit - you walk in the door and see stairs going up and a door to the lounge. Here is the view up the stairs ! My dog Brandy and one of the cats (Tequila) sitting at the top of the stairs - they were waiting for me to go to bed.

New Bag.

Finished this crocheted bag yesterday. It has lots of handy pockets inside and one on the outside. I love pockets !

It is final - our house has sold - the sign is up outside!

My Creative Space...

At the moment my creative space is this corner of the 2 seater sofa. I have lots of ends to weave in the green granny square blanket and the 2 scarves. Am working on the crocheted bag today too - just the finishing touches are needed. Just working on smallish projects at the moment due to the big move !

We have sold the house so no more viewings and my husband is home from Libya this Saturday - so all is well with the world.

Always looking for info about areas on the Central Coast, NSW - anyone out there know the Gosford / Woy Woy / Point Clare / Umina Beach area ?

Thanks in advance !
