You must bag yourself one of these for summer…
I was getting ready to go to the beach with my daughter Heidi last weekend and was trying to find a bag in the house big enough to fit several buckets, spades, water bottles, hats, food, nappies, suncream etc. (you get the picture – a HEAP of stuff). I stopped and eyed off my pile of Ikea bags… But just couldn’t do it! I then had a quiet moment to myself thinking about how useful a ‘cool looking’ Ikea bag would be!

On the first day of Christmas… I finished my Christmas wreath!
On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me…. “Now we’ve moved house can you finish off some of these crafty projects you have started (and never finished)!” Amongst the box unpacking (we moved into our new house last week… you can visit my blog about building the house at www.lot271.com) I found some time to make my toilet-paper-roll-Christmas-wreath as I promised I would in my Christmas decoration post. I couldn’t have made it any earlier because I needed the extra time to collect enough toilet rolls! I think that is a good enough excuse, don’t you?

Sewing (more) things
In follow-up to my previous post Sewing Things… I have added a few more items to my list of things I have made with my machine. I can safely say I am getting back into the swing of sewing again after 20 years away from a machine.

A new beginning
We have arrived in our new (temporary) home. Our refuge during the exciting time we are about to embark upon … building our new home. It’s always a refreshing experience moving somewhere new – so many things to discover. You don’t live your life as a habit or routine, because there is one established in this new town – I love that feeling. We have made Geelong our temporary home whilst overseeing the building process in Torquay (15 minutes away).
