Updating the last few weeks

Posted under Christmas, Crafty Stuff, Family, Moving

It would take me too long to post individually the last few weeks, so here’s some highlights…

Hit with a doozy of a sinus infection that laid me flat for several days and took about two weeks to get my energy back and able to do things again. Really not what I need just before moving!

Finished work at Dian’s school. The last week I was there we worked extra time thursday and friday, most of the saturday and then monday as well. Did I mention that I had the sinus infection that week???? By the end of the monday I was exhausted! Cried when I left the school as it’s the last time I would be there. I loved the school, the people and working with the kids.

One of the school’s rabbits had three babies, had no milk and then rejected them. I took them home and fed them three hourly for two days but they all died. It was really sad, they were so tiny and helpless, I did everything I could and it wasn’t enough. :(

Dian has finished school. She doesn’t go back until 4 Feb 2008, almost eight weeks off!!!

I made two personalised pillowcases for my two nephews and got them posted off yesterday. Had to send them express post as they won’t arrive in time for Christmas otherwise. Ouch$$$$$! Unfortunately I messed up one of them, I put the name and the opening on the wrong side of the pillowcase, and also the sizing of the letters was wrong. I’ve sent it off anyway, and will remake it after we move. Or even possibly while we’re away at Christmas.

We leave here in two days time!!!! I am so not ready, another week at home would be good. I won’t have it though, we’ll just have to muddle through. Thank goodness we have removalists come in and do the packing and unpacking for us!

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!
