I'll Be Back Soon!

Hi to anyone who still drops by and reads my blog after this long break. :-)

I didn't expect to be so long away from blogging. Time has really flown by.

In that time we have had a new member to the family of the furry kind, a chocolate Burmese cat called Marty. I would post some photos but the camera cable and other bits to upload photos are still packed away in one of the many boxes around here. So my camera sits on my dressing table, flat battery waiting to be charged up .


Why is my camera cable packed in box? Well, I can proudly say that I have put my roots down in the Blue Mountains. Yep, my partner and I bought a house!!!!!!!!!............


No more renting. No more 18 year old clueless property mangers. I have a moved to a 1/4 acre block "upon a hill" (yes, new name for the Blog). The house has the most amazing views and after all these years I can have chickens again. In the last few rental properties, the landlords wouldn't let me have chooks. I'm very excited about that!...... I pinch myself.



So, I've been busy unpacking and getting a feel for our new home. I haven't been doing much crafting. My knitting is packed away, I have a few UFO's to complete and my wool stash is getting a bit crazy. Once I can find my camera cable and charge up my camera, I can start posting again very soon.

Congratulations on buying your own home! It's prefect for the soul, being able to do whatever you like with it. And chickens are a rewarding animal to keep, I would love to have chickens again but there's a possibility we will be moving town at the end of the year (big sad face!!) so I will need to wait. Looking forward to seeing your photo's of the new place, brightest blessings, from The Garden x

Congratulations!! How exciting for you, a whole new chapter up on your hill. Are you near my hill I wonder?
Great new about getting chooks! :) Renting can be so soul destroying, esp with a landlord who has different values. Now you can have lots of animals, go crazy with paint and put lots of picture hooks up lol!
Hope your move goes smoothly :)

Congratulations! I am really happy for you all. I also have been sorely neglecting my blog, although I have been posting on my craft blog. Seem to have lost the oomph for the main one. Will look forward to seeing your finished creations and pics of the new land. Wow how exciting!!! Hugs xoxox

How exciting!! Having this sense of security will be wonderful for you. Congratulations!!
(I can't wait to see what kinds of projects arise from this contentment when you finally get unpacked!)
