Changing Rooms

I decided to move my bedroom around to see if I liked it as I am thinking of changing one wall to a feature wallpaper. my bed and dresser have changed sides so the room is larger on one side with the bed quite close to the window now. After a week still not certain that I like living in it as I dont know which side of the bed to get out of.

It does make the Room feel larger in some respects but I think I prefer the previous arrangement. Perhaps I will just wallpaper the Guest bedroom instead - so it will be off to the wallpaper shop at the weekend maybe.



christmas is coming

It is now only a month to go before christmas arrives and it seems as if there is so much to do.
school has been really busy with lots going on and only three days before Warren finishes. The board is also in a bit of turmoil with a couple of people resigning before the elections next year. It should be fun.
I have done the first christmas cards. I spent most of sunday making cards and did a whole lot using one of the kits I had purchased from Megan. Saturday was exciting as I finally purchased a kitchen whizz and spent the afternoon unpacking it, then went for a walk to Marilyn's and did some stitching on my stocking. I will try and upload photos of the various pieces I have nearly finished as soon as I get the photos off the camera.
We have the homes for hospice in a couple of weeks and things are getting busy with getting prepared. Went today to see about the furniture for the room.
I still have two beaded journal pages to finish beading but have decided that I will not do one and get the August piece done and then can spend some time in the holiday break framing them up. That is my job for tomorrow - I am walking to Maree's and asking for her advice about the finishing of them.

Beading on the back seat

Beading this month has been on the back seat as the shift to the new house has happened. My friend Liz's dad died on the 6th so her family came up and stayed in the old house. It meant that neil and i moved over quickly to the new house and over the weekend that Liz was here the rest of the furniture was moved in. Neil ended up staying the week so he moved lots of things over. This is Liz and I with her daughter Ashley - on her way back to the Navy after the funeral.

Neil and I then took Liz out to see the Christmas shop and visit the walkway in New Plymouth. It was a glorious day in Taradise.

Also our family has visitors from Scotland. My dad's cousin and wife are here after 15 years so it is really neat to see them. We are quite amazed as Watt is not a real traveller so for his first overseas holiday coming to the other side of the world is really incredible.

We went for a drive around our mountain last weekend and here is my family at my sisters caravan by the beach. Her son took the photo as he did not want to be in it.
