Its Shrinking :) :) :)

This is what met you at the garage door on Sunday

lots and lots of boxes, the pile has grown since

I finished packing up my sewing room today,

took down my design wall :(

packed all my little quilts that were hanging up

took the skirt of the quilting frame

packed up all my cutting mats and rulers

but I just couldn't bring myself to pack my sewing machine

away, my current project or my little cutting mat

maybe tomorrow I will do that

I packed all the wine into boxes

dusted the hutch, tv, bookcases

packed up the crystal cabinet, have packed all

I can until we go

while I was busy downstairs, Sophie and her bestie Miss E

were upstairs playing monopoly with Henry

Emma was on a scout excursion, while she was out they went to the

rockpools to clean up the little beach and to look in the rockpools

all was good until she slipped on a rock

look at the mess she made of her knee, poor girl

Tomorrow we have Master A and Miss K coming over for a couple

of hours to have a final play with the girls before they leave on Thursday

(they lived in our new house, mum has a new Marine Pilots job up north)

and other than that we have no plans.

and to top it all off its supposed to pour here

until Saturday

10-20mm Wed

20-40mm Thur

40-80mm Fri

aren't I going to have fun running from house to car, car to house in that

delightful weather.

We get the keys tomorrow afternoon

YIPPEE

and the bestest news ever

Mum saw one of her Cancer doctors today and on her latest xray

her lung tumor has shrunk significantly she said that it was very

obvious before treatment and now its hard to see it. She is thrilled

SO AM I, I know that she will never be cured of it, but YAY YAY YAY

her horrid radiation and baby chemo has worked

Surfs Up

& its raining again

 the naughty puppy is loving it, he is  inside today!

I had to get a few things from the supermarket, so I took my camera

and drove to 'our' beach, a 300m walk from our house

this is what I found

no beach left, we walk the naughty puppy here each day

(if its not raining) and I watched the waves wash over

the embankment taking dirt back with it.

this is where we take the girlies swimming, usually its very calm and protected

and hubby dives around that rock thats poking out

then I went to Aislings Beach

the surfs up

another of hubbys dive spots

no beach at Aislings today either

I am heading to my sewing room today to finish my New York Beauty blocks

then sew some more Granny Squares.

Hubby is going to help me load my Pies and Tarts onto Frank at

lunchtime, I would like to make a start on that today too.

luckily it is PERFECT SEWING weather :)
