Sorry it’s been awhile but I’ve been flat out.  Firstly the new job is going great!  No getting bored in a craft shop that’s for sure.  I’m rearranging the shop currently and cleaning it up, making use of display areas and doing heaps of knitting.  Secondly we went for finance on another house and viola!  within a week it’s all approved and ready to go!!  What a change from the last attempt.  So we will ...

Well, last week was not exactly what I expected.  For a start the finance fell through on the house so that was shock number one.  Then I had some trouble at work which caused me to rethink my career path and choose another BUT on a positive note.  I now am the Manager of a CRAFT shop!!  Well, I will be as of next Friday.  So my dream has come true AGAIN.  I used to ...

Well, we are still waiting to hear about finance, been well over two weeks now bordering on three.  How hard can it possibly be to come up with an answer?  I mean, my thought was that banks look at figures… not emotions.  They want to be sure that their investment pays off not well if they just did this it would be ok.  So far we have provided so much information to them at regular ...

I’ve been knitting and crocheting for about 25 years now.  Long, long time.  I was a professional knitter for Aussie companies for about 3 of those years.  My friend works at our local craft shop and as I walked in the door the other day she says to me "how much would you charge Chris (the owner of a craft store at Indoorapilly) to knit these two jumpers for her shop?"  Well, being as I ...

Well, I thought it would be Tuesday but no the bank is still thinking!!!  Building and Pest went well and the personal loan - except for a few bumps is all done - now just got to wait for the big one to come through.  Thanks for the best wishes, need lots of them.  Fingers Crossed.

Today we find out if the house we want to purchase is free of termites and will stand up for awhile.  Building and Pest Inspection.  Also should have some news on the finance front!  Today could be the big day!!!  It’s scary and exciting at the same time.  It’s a really big house and we should all fit in quite comfortably but more on that later…..

I went to the Craft Show yesterday and had a ball!!  So much to see, so much to do.  Spent a fortune and wished I had more to spend.  I bought some lovely beads and patterns from Bead For Me, very helpful people and lovely to chat too.  Got this amazing Print Magic paper for my husband and it is amazing.  Oh, there was just so much, I couldn ‘t possibly name it all.  Oh ...

Please go and visit my Photo Albums, Currently all the work up there is my own, designed by Me!!  There is something for everyone, except the cardmakers (coming soon!!).  Beading, knitting, patchwork.  Also I have put up my Survival Kits, I started making them several years ago.  Currently we are redesigning and packing them to suit gift stores.  We have the New Daddy and New Mummy Survival kits which are great gifts for parents.  We ...

Just had the weirdest thing happen, logged in with my password etc, said it was me but there was no info or picture and some weird blogs, I left a blog cause I thought it was just an admin thing but seems I was somewhere else as when I closed it down and re-opened, viola here I am and the blog I left before is gone.  Long story short, we put an offer in on ...

It’s a little crazy in my world at the moment, I’m doing two jobs at work and it’s just about driving me crazy!!  I haven’t had the energy or the time to craft and that’s kind of my relax time so I’m abit stressed.  But only 3 more days to go!!  Can’t wait.  We are also looking at buying a home so we are constantly on the look out.  Kids are back at school - ...
