FILLING THE DAY!

I can't believe that a so much time has slipped by again ... much has happened.
Having to move from a 4 bedroomed house into a 2 bedroomed home is hectic ... it doesn't help that we have lived in that house for 7 years and had, well, gathered lots of things ha ha. So it was major sorting-out time and getting rid of some furniture, books, clothes and so on. Sometimes it was a relief to chuck it out, other times a lot of thought had to go into it. Mmmm, I'm sure if you have ever been in that position, you will know what I'm talking about. On the other hand, I was rather starting to feel guilty living in a house with that much space, and no more children at home. Only one sort of kid (90yrs old)... mom.


A lot of adjusting, but at the same time, less to clean & look after! So what am I moaning about??
We try to do our bit for recycling so a lot of paper, cardboard, plastic etc went to the recycling depot. We don't actually realise just how much packaging we throw into the rubbish bin, till we keep it one side! That goes with living in a city I suppose, as everything HAS to be packaged to get to us. If we were living on a farm, we could milk our cow every day, pick fruit off our trees and pull some veggies out the patch. To live organically. One day ..... : )
I have begun with a new hobby. It was at first out of desperation, as I wanted to use this particular table outside, but being wood and in danger of getting wet in the rain, I had to make a plan. So I decided to try my hand at MOSAICS. Yes, mosaicing... I have seen many wonderful looking items, so tackled it with vigour. Next time I will post a pic of my accomplishment and in the future, more.
Till then xx

Time flies!!


Oh, time flies! It's been a hectic few weeks. We have been busy helping the kids paint out their new home and move in. Something very satisfying about paint. Before and after pictures prove that! Even if I must say so myself, I think it turned out pretty good ... very inviting, warm and cosy.
Moving house is always a great time to sort out all our possessions. All the things gathered and put away for another day or when we have a bit more time. Most of it unnecessary, of course. So this is the time to purge all those forgotten bits and pieces.
It is amazing to see how a new home takes on a personality, as we unpack and add our own special touch. This is what makes a house "a home".
I am looking forward to blogging more regularly now again, getting back into routine, so look out for the next post!
Till next time xx
