New Home Sneaky Peeks...

Hi All!

Well, we've been in our new home for just over a week now - we finally got the internet hooked up this weekend and I'm hopeful that I'll resume normal bloggy service shortly.

Today I wanted to quickly show you the beginnings of my sewing room. I've not had the time to sew anything new yet, but just having this little corner set up makes me feel good. My room gets amazing afternoon sun, but I'm still toying with the idea of possibly taking the room next door which gets all day sun - we'll see. It's currently David's office/library and is a rather lovely room to sit in and read...

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen a few sneak peeks of our house, mostly of the late summer/early autumn produce we've been harvesting. Our plan at this stage with the garden is to harvest as much as we can, get rid of the weeds/over zealous nasturtium, prune everything back and get it ready for winter.  David and I have spent hours in the garden already, and it doesn't even really look like we've made a dent! But we're loving it. As are our ladies - they've been feasting on all the snails we've been finding.

Two of three chickens free ranging in a bit of garden David and I had just cleared. We couldn't catch the third one! 

Daisy (Left) and Rosemary (Right). Marigold (Missing - aka too smart for her own good!) 

Our house blog is coming! Stay tuned... 

I'll be back this week with my version of the Flora Dress that you've probably seen popping up all over the internetz - I had the pleasure of testing it for the ladies at BHL, and what a lovely little dress it is...

Honey, We Bought A Home!

Yes. Finally. After years and years of dreaming about owning our own home, we gosh darn gone bought us a house!

• We move in next Friday (28th February).

• It's a 1940's three bedroom home with gorgeous ceilings.

• It comes with three chickens who give us three eggs a day (I'm going to be baking and eating omelettes like there's no tomorrow). 

• I'll have my own, very first ever, dedicated sewing room/office.

• It has an established garden with 3 apple trees, 2 plum trees, 3 hazelnut trees, blackberries, black currents, red currents, raspberries, strawberries, alpine strawberries, blueberries, a huge vege patch, 2 glasshouses, a grape vine, rhubarb everywhere, 2 Feijoa trees, a fig tree, a cherry blossom, herbs...weeds. So many weeds.

• The garden isn't even really that big. 

• There's a bit of work to do.

• I couldn't be happier!

David and I are going to be starting a blog following our renovation of the house. It's going to be a long process as we figure out just what exactly we want to do with it. But it's exciting. No more sewing in a room surrounded by unpacked boxes of our things from when we left Sydney.

I'll let you know when we've set up the blog if you want to follow along...
