30 days of Handmade gifts

Found this great blog that is posting links and tutorials for handmade gifts every day in November. Sew! Mama! Sew! Brilliant!!! I want to make one of the rag rugs, just need a lot more hours in my day….

No job and no house…

Sigh…. we had to release the house we had reserved for next year as there was nowhere to park our trailer. What looked like a gate into the backyard was just a fence, and the extra carport that was supposed to be there didn’t exist. So it’s back to the drawing board and keep looking…

I also found out today that a job I applied for recently, I didn’t even get short-listed for an interview. I’m a bit sad about that, I really thought I had a good chance of getting it! I guess God has something better in mind, but I’m still a bit blah about not even making it to the interview!!!

I have a bike!!!!!

We bought me a second hand bike yesterday from Cash Converters. It’s purple and grey and has twelve gears!!! I’ve never had a bike with gears before, the only other bike I owned didn’t have any I don’t think… This is actually my birthday present from May, which we put off buying because of Eddie being away and moving house in July etc. Then yesterday we saw it there and ended up buying it! I went for a short ride yesterday, and a longer ride today, and my backside and leg muscles are sooooooo sore! It was great fun though!

Christmas pressie preview!


Here’s an early preview of one of the Christmas presents I’m making… I won’t be posting any other pics until after Christmas, although I may do some previews of other gifts along the way… Nothing that will give away what the final gift will look like or who it’s for!
