Since we got back from our lovely holiday it has been GO, GO, GO! I have no idea how I ever found time to go to work. I haven't had any time to do any craft and very little reading but I am sure that will improve in due course.
We have been really busy turning the whole house upside down so that we can comfortably cater to the needs of 4 adults and one soon-to-be baby. I have had to re-arrange almost every room in the house, but it is finally starting to look a bit more organised and I think the new arrangements will work OK. I knew I had a lot of 'stuff' but hadn't realised how much until I had to pack it all up and then find somewhere to put it. Consequently I have a lot of 'stuff' still in boxes but I have packed the boxes up very neatly in out of the way spots and will gradually work through them and hopefully cull a lot more things. I am thinking of having a garage sale but that will have to wait because I am trying to organise a baby shower for Emma. Only 10 weeks to go - if the baby doesn't have his own ideas about arriving early. We haven't even started setting up the baby's room properly but we will get to that soon.
We ordered in a mini skip and have filled that and very likely we will need another one as well. Unbelievable how much accumulates around you when you are not paying attention!!!!
Our last night of our holiday was spent at the Baroota Rodeo and Camp Ground and we noticed the place is for sale so we went for a drive yesterday and met the owner and the land agent. We are giving some thought to whether we might sell up and move out there, but there is an awful lot we would have to work out so it may not come to fruition at all. It is 278 acres and that includes the campgrounds, rodeo ground, 3 bedroom house, airstrip and aeroplane hangar! No - the plane doesn't come with it.
We had a good look around and got information on council rates, how the place is powered (solar and diesel generator), the water supply (rainwater for drinking and bore water operated by windmills) etc and now need to sit down and work through the pros and cons and consider if the 4 of us really want to make that sort of change. I will keep you posted.
I am thinking of having a Bling party to sell some of my products - possibly in mid November. I will probably do it as an open house on a weekend (probably a Sunday afternoon). It will be good timing for those looking at Christmas presents (for themselves or others). I will post another entry once I know the details.
Keep safe and well and I will keep you all informed of happenings in the near future.
