Every single room in the house is still a work in progress.
The craft space is nearly at a level where I could actually create something... imagine that!
The port-a-cot just needs to be moved to the spare bedroom, and there are a few more bits and pieces yet to find homes, but the whole place is starting to actually look liveable once more.
I am really behind on reading emails and blogs. Getting an internet connection was a real struggle because I don't need or want a home phone. I've ended up with an overpriced pre-paid Telstra wireless plan while I wait for Three wireless to be extended into my area..... but I just can't live without the internet, so there's a price that must be paid.
I might still be a little quiet over the next week or so while I continue to unpack and catch up on all my favourite bloggers.
I did manage to make it to the Stitches and Craft show on Saturday and catch up with Cathy, Nikki, Liz, Fi, Justine, and Jenny, and I finally had the chance to meet Martine and Michelle and Johanna which was lovely. I hope I didn't miss anyone. I wanted to go and say hi to Louise and Cathy from Audrey and Maude but they were surrounded by customers. I also missed Jodie and Michelle who were over in the the other building when I visited... drats.
I have some photos on my mobile phone, but do you think I can actually find the usb cable to download them???
On my desk today are a couple of work in progress items......an apron for me (with bias tape trim of course), and some bibs that are a gift for another friend who had a baby boy last week.
Hopefully, I've have these ones finished by the end of tonight (might just be a bit of wishful thinking)!
Moo Moo managed to sneeze on me with a mouth full of Vita Brits thismorning so I have some extra washing to do now as well.
For more lovely desks, head on over and visit Kirsty.
PS. Make sure you check out Michelle's Tips and Tricks #11. I used it lastnight and thismorning and it works a treat! So much faster.
I also made a little matching potholder.....
First of all, I would like to say a great big thankyou to everyone who left me a message regarding my Friday night post......
The fantastic thing is that most generous crafty peeps are already registered as organ donors and those who weren't have now signed up online. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart (and lungs). I've been laughing to myself all weekend imaging what my oxygen bottle would look like with a knitted or crocheted cover.....hilarious!
I've been practicing my knitting over the last week....I used some of the yarn that Cath sent me and I practiced changing colour, leaving the ends loose, knitting the ends in, and using 2 colours at once. It was fun to see what happened without worrying about wrecking something. I even remembered how to cast off and I didn't have to refer to the internet for help.....yippee!
I'm off to the post office now to post three little parcels.....I can't reveal anything yet. Have a happy Monday.
