Thaankful!

Found a very nice fish añd chips shop nearby us. 

Its my Birthday month and I started a new small cross stitch pattern. Its very easy to stitch while zooming. 

My Kitty's Sewing Lesson is much more counting so l am stitching that at night when all is quite.got part of the sewing machine done! Slowly its coming along.

l have also finished emptying the last of the boxes. 

We had to get a front loader to fit in the kitchen and its only a 6kg. So l cannot wash my quilts in it. Luckily we have a nice laundry close by that takes care of that. 

Somehow living in a small town makes one forget how to handle busy traffic. But am now getting used to that and also getting to know the city Port Elizabeth.  Lots of interesting places to explore, especially with google maps. 😀 

A little more about life here

 

Daily life here is going at a snail pace at the moment!

This huge ordinary garden snail was just outside the main gate, wow its really big.

At last the sewing machine is coming along.

Placing my cross stitch stuff is taking time as l have less wall space here. 

At least we took a trip to the sea but it was misty and cold. So we couldn't go for a walk.

My daughter brought me some lovely gifts from a trip they took through Clarens.

This is my sewing chair corner and my Sitching Angel designed by Joan Elliott found her place!

Hubby's small lawn is up and growing green. 

This quilt also has found its wall

This week l have been working hexi's on my quilt. Nearly done then its sandwiching and quilting. Need to get this out sewing room to have a bit more space to arrange my stuff neatly. 

While l sit stitching l let my mind run with ideas of how to get my little sewing room all nice and cosy!

Our New Home!

Here are some photos of our new place. 

We had a carport and patio added.

Also needed a cupboard in the kitchen. We found the right place, in front of the fridge with lots of space to open the fridge door and see whats to eat, the guy that installed it did a fantastic job.

Now its just a case of finding the right spot for all my art work hehehehe

 

At last!!!!!!

 I have not been here for ages and its been a very busy time in my life!!!

We decided to move to Port Elizabeth and very quickly sold the house in Port Alfred and also got a townhouse that we loved and also bought. 

Daughter has also relocated to Port Eklizabeth because she needs a bigger salary to survive and also needs some challenges in her life. Well she has been continuing studying while Matthew was writing Grade 12 exams and she reached another goal and passed that exam with over 80%. Also Matthew did really great with his as he received so many awards and stuff and was also 4th place from the top 10 students well with the year end he moved up to 3rd place and has 2 distinctions and did very well with all his subjects. He has the world now and is ready for this next phase of starting his life's journey. Matthew is the tallest guy on the right!
