Yes I am still here ..........

It has been awhile since my last post...........still living in the old home..........things are not moving all that fast... waiting on some paperwork another couple of weeks then..........it is all go forward
the last few days I together will DH have been packing up all the items we do not need around us at the moment ready for the big garage and demo sale. I am so amazed at the things I together with the rest of the family have collected and kept in the home over the last 28 years.
I have slowly the last few weekends and most evening and mornings during the working days before and after work sorted and packed.
We have so much to be done before the contractors come in and bulldozer the old home down,
we have windows, pavers, hills clothes line, full kitchen, air conditioning, bath and hand bowl,
built in cupboards, floor boards,doors, carpets (the list goes on ) to be removed before the bull dozer can do it's bit.........still look on the bright side, things are getting cleaned and sorted (chuckle).
Last week sent my PIF gifts of to 3 lovely ladies, and just finishing of my Christmas in July swap..........then unfortunately that will have to be it until next year to get involved with any swaps.............as my quilting room is all packed and stored.
So hoping to spend the next several months finshing off some hand work projects ready for when my sewing machine (bernice)is unwrapped from storage.

Help wanted

I need a little help .... as per last post my life and house it a little up side down at the moment,

I have been busy finishing off my PIF gifts before, the fabric and sewing machine gets packed in storage.

A while ago I had 3 lovely ladies who became my PIF recipients , I wish to forwarded these off before I pack everything else around me in storage, But I need a bit of help .....

I have on several occasions tried to get to make contact with Oddjborg one of the lovely ladies who responded on the 31st December 2008 to be one of three to receive a PIF gift ......unfortunately I have been unable to get a reply .

I really would appreciate some help so I get forward the parcel .

Now back to filling up more storage boxes.........didn't quite realise I have so much in the cupboards.........I feel a garage/salvage sale coming up soon.

A new adventure

Be awhile since last post..... not much has been happening in the needlework/quilting part of my life....... DH and I am in the process of demolishing our home for the past 28 years and rebuilding, so lots of things to organise....
So far we have draw up and placed in the hands on a local building the house (home) plans ......
next step more paperwork ..... then we need to move all our personal and keepsakes... we will be moving in with DH parents for approx 12 months...... then DH togethr will family members and friends will help strip the house of all re saleable items from the house ...............air- conditioning, windows, stove, kitchen cupboards, bathroom fittings (shower screen hand bowl bath tap fittings) , outdoor verandah blah blah'''''' and hoping to sell off these reusable items.
Then after that the demo gang will come in and bulldozer the skeleton on the home down and relay a new house pad ready for the builders to started work sounds great but this will take months. Unfortunately during this period the Internet will be disconnected so may not be able to post all that often, but I will take photos and keep you all up to date as much a possible.

This weekend hope to trace of lots of stitcheries as my sewing machine and fabric etc will need to be put into storage until the end of my new adventure. So most nights and weekends I will have the opportunity to do a lot of hand work ?????????
Also this week my YS has moved out .... great timing for him as I have been clearing out the cupboards and he has scored quite a lot of goodies to help towards setting him up in his flat .

Sorry no photo's this post as I am unable to download at the moment any photos
