We got a call yesterday to say we have a lease to sign for a house. Hooray! We need to get it checked by the embassy before we sign it, but hopefully we will sign it this evening and start the countdown before we move. We also need to find out where our shipment of stuff is – somewhere between here and Australia, but where?! 🙂

Sarvi- I’m having real trouble deciding. I was hoping to find dual voltage machines and take them home in three years, but none of the machines I like are dual… yet!
I’m currently looking at a juki tl2000 q, semi industrial high speed straight stitch, and a baby lock Laura overlocker. I’ll also need a machine for zigzag and buttonholes, but I…[Read more]

I’m frustrated waiting til our stuff arrives, and I buy a new sewing machine. I have two lovely lengths of wool to make a pencil skirt and a pair of wide leg, high waist trousers. Meanwhile, I’m working on a cardigan I’ve been knitting since before Audrey was born. I’ve just got to finish the tops of both sleeves and sew it together.

Well, I’m back!
First thing’s first though – congratulations,Tamara, on the eventually safe, but traumatic arrival of baby Chloe! Getting some counselling to deal with it sounds likes good idea if it is bothering you.

I have abandoned the concept of the Doctor coat – not enough time. I did get a little seat made for Harriet that straps onto Audrey’s wheely suitcase. She’ll have a nice comfortable ride to get on the plane.
No sewing scheduled now, I’m trying to make a mini passport for Harriet, and otherwise, just dealing with farewells!
Boxes haven’t arrived…[Read more]

I’m (insanely) trying to get a Secret Agent/ Doctor Coat made in the next 2 weeks before removals, for Audrey’s Christmas present to go with her doctor bag. Have the paper pattern, but need to trace off. That was supposed to be today’s plan, but I haven’t even got it out of the packet 🙁

Hey all, I’m popping in very quickly to say hello. We have 2 1/2 weeks left in Canberra, and we’ve just had 3 weeks with Chris in the US. Audrey’s early birthday party is tomorrow so I’m crazily trying to get things organised for that too.

So sorry to hear about your FIL, Tamara *hugs*

I’m at my father in law’s in Brisbane, I finished Audrey’s shirred dress and sailboat trousers that I bought fabric for, and I’m getting itchy fingers now!
I bought a new shirred breastfeeding top for myself (ah the joys of a big city that has maternity shops!!), and I’ve decided to copy it with some lightweight printed cotton I have… at home.…[Read more]
