Our New Beginning

Here we are nine months later and it's the first time I've even thought about posting a blog.

A lot has happened in that time.

Our house sold in four weeks on the market and we had a quick settlement that gave us three weeks to move out. We moved in with my crazy but lovely parents. ( what have they done! ) Four adults and three boys in a 3 bed, 1 bath house.

We found our dream property, 5 acres at Mount Vincent. It has 360 degree views of the mountains and valley. I get excited every time we drive there. We settled on the farm in August and the craziness continued. It's vacant land so we have to build something on it. We decided on a big barn. I have been project manager and I have to say it's been fun. Have to watch those pennies though.

Right now we are at the main frame construction stage. The slab is down and the building is rising. We need to be living there before school starts 2009. The kids are already enrolled in the local schools so we are loaning a caravan from some fantastic friends for a few months and we are pitching my dads giant tent to get us by for a few months. Lucky we like camping

The main thing is that we get the bathroom working or the experience could be life damaging.

The photos are of the prep that goes into a slab. You can see the water tank on the right, this means no more standing in the shower washing my hair. It's over to the basin for that sort of thing.

Anyhow I best go now. I better go and organise something.

Cheers Leanne

Aright, Already

Here it is. My first post.
I am the busiest I've ever been in my life. I have 30 odd dance costumes to do before the end of May, a quilt to finish before this Thursday that Ive entered in a show, a sample of a demonstration I am doing at the show, 64 costumes to get done(with a lot of help) for Starstruck before the first week in June and to top it all off We've put our house on the market to sell. Now we've got to have the place respectable for photos and strangers looking through our personal space. FUN FUN FUN!!!
It feels good venting. When it's all written down I can justify feeling like my head is about to explode.
Tomorrow is Mothers Day. I guess I'll take a little time out to love those around me, if only for a couple of hours, then it will be back to the grindstone.
When I have finished all of this I'll have to remind myself to say NO!!!
There you go , you wanted me to blog and now I cant stop

Til next time

Quilting

When will my mum start. My aunty made this for my mum and she hasn't wrote anything. She is proablly quilting or making dancewear.





From Harv6 (Her son)

When will she start?????

I decided to create this blog for my sister to show her wonderful skill of quilting. I am yet to see her even write one post here. She has such an amazing talent and should show it to the world. If there is still nothing here, go to my blog instead. I am sure you will like it there.
