Country Firsts....

Zoe and Meg on their first day at their new school and kinder. We were a little apprehensive but all went well - they both had a "magnificent" first day. So far so good. We have purchased our new home but Im refraining from posting about it until it settles. All going well only a few days to go!

Until then.....

Well its now officially sold. Settlement is only 5 weeks away! I cant wait till DH and the girls join me down here to start on our tree change adventure. We're planning on buying an acreage, having some animals....chooks, dogs & maybe alpaca's, growing our own vegies and basically enjoying a far more simpler way of life. This ride's about to get much more interesting so stay tuned.
ps - for those who joined me here - thanks for coming back to zoesquid - managing two blogs was far more time consuming than fun! From now on, here is where I'll stay.

Oops

Ive just realized that I never got around to revealing these.
So here goes
My sister in laws birthday present ....

I loved it so much I didnt want to let it go! But I wrapped it up with much love and sent it on its way!

And finally my Pay It Forward gifts.

Not much crafting going on around here at the moment. Too busy because of this.

Till next time

I'm back....

Can you believe its been this long since Ive posted????
This will be short and sweet. To check out what we're up to take yourself across to here.

Inspiration

Whilst surfing the internet, I often find posts which inspire me to create. In the past, Ive just added these to my favorites and thought, when I get time I'll go back and pick a project to start. Well I never really went back.
So now that I know how to post pictures with a link in my side bar (thanks Michelle) I've started a "to do list", to constantly remind me of the the gorgeous projects I'd like to take on. I think they also look pretty and I get to share the links with everyone else. Theres still a lot more to go on when I get a chance.
So go on....check it out.
Cheers
Libby

UFO's be gone!

I made a massive dint in my UFO pile this weekend. Its taken a while, but thanks to Mum and Dad baby sitting (at club Colac - all weekend!), I managed to finish these projects ...

Included is my SIL's birthday present (in the big box), my PIF gifts (from way back in March!) and Michelle's winning's from my give away last week (not made, but lovingly wrapped with the other gifts). Obviously I dont want to show any of these until they're received, but I promise I will post when I think they've landed at their new homes.

The one thing I can show you is a little gift I made from this book I recently ranted on about. Its the silver one up there on top and is for a new friend who's just recently had a baby boy.

His name is Hector the Giraffe. The pattern is super easy to follow. He has a cute little tail on the back as well.

This weeks this is theme is ...the space in which I create. I recently revamped my creative space and posted about it here. I'm still loving it but I've found that no matter how much room you have, its never quite enough! Thanks Michelle for a great theme this week. Check out Angela's blog to see the space in which everyone else creates!

Have a great week everyone!

Embroidery and a winner!

On a more peaceful note, I gave Zoe a little embroidery lesson last weekend. To my suprise she actually loved it and found it "really relaxing Mum".

Now for the giveaway, there were 16 entries in all. Three were not valid as they're outside Oz (but thankyou Melanie, Lois and Maureen for your kind, supportive comments). Duplicates were removed and the random number generator picked.....

No. 7.... Lenni & Rose

Send me your snail mail details and I'll get the package off to you. Thanks to everyone for your lovely thoughts. The calibre of people out there in blogland never ceases to amaze me.

Happy Weekend Everyone.
