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 !

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 !
