New digs

The Copper Patch crew have moved!

We're about half an hour closer to Melbourne and have gone from charming but poorly insulated cottage to this modern, five star energy rated house.
There are boxes everywhere although the unpacking is going fairly well. However the 'sewing room/spare room' is sadly the dumping ground. It's going to take a whole lot of sorting out and I am under very strict orders from the Mister that I am NOT to move any boxes due to my 'delicate' * condition.... Easy for him to say, I want to pat my fabric stash and remind it that it is still loved.

I will be mostly off email and off line until the phone and internet is connected - it should only be a week or so at the most but it's Telstra so who knows....

In the meantime, happy crafting peeps. See ya when the moving madness has calmed down and the unpacking is unpacked.

* An extra ten kilos and the ever more pronounced waddle sure doesn't look that delicate ;o)

I bought it!

Yep, I bought it.

It settled today and fortunately the dream I had where the old owner wouldn't leave...did not come true.

I may have even done a little skippy dance around my new lounge.

And I definitely did one around the kitchen. Yes, that's a DOUBLE oven!!! Ahhh...

Buying this property is step Number Two (Number One was 'stop talking and do' which had to be combined with 'stop being a big-fat-scaredy-cat!') in changing my career or at least expanding my horizons to include craft as an earner as well as a passion.

And this is what happens when your boyfriend takes the photos of you putting the SOLD sticker on.

Yep, that's my butt.

Very, very excited about Sew It Together which is only TWO SLEEPS away.

See some of you there and I'll share with the rest of you after the weekend.
