My Week

Last week:

• I mowed the lawn. Yeah ok, maybe half of it (we live on half an acre. With a push mower, that takes a lonnnnnng time!)
• I went on a bustrip to the airport
• I flew to Sydney for a conference. It was fun but the trip was quite short. No time to explore!
• I spent a day in Brisbane with my hubby. We had breakfast at a little French cafe in the morning and wandered around in the city for the rest of the day.
• I watched robots beating each other up in Real Steel (good movie actually!)
• I went bookshelf shopping. Found a solid, second hand shelf for the office. Score!
  

This week:

• I'm home alone :( The hubby is away working for three weeks.
• I'm rearranging the house while the hubby is away. Hehe, while the cats away the mouse will play!
• I hope it gets warmer! This is supposed to be spring!
• I'm sewing curtains for our bedroom. Need to get rid of the bedsheets-as-curtains look!
• I'm watching as our vege garden is starting to come to life. I'll post some pictures sometime. Love seeing veges growing...
• I'm reading The Girl Who Played With Fire.

What are you up to this week?

Long weekend

I have been looking forward to this weekend for so long!! Five whole days off! Wow!
I feel like I've been falling behind with everything in the last two months, so these next 5 days will hopefully be a time for me to catch up, refresh and recharge.

Things have been a bit quiet around here for the reasons above, but also because I've decided to do a blog redesign! I haven't quite been around for a whole year yet (so I hope this isn't too early), but I really want to start taking this blogging "thing" a bit more seriously, so I think a redesign is in order!

And...I know this is like months late, but here is the photo of the curtains I made ages ago (sorry, bad photo I know). I'm actually planning to make another set this weekend.

Hope you all have a lovely, relaxing Easter with your family and friends.
Isn't this egg holder just gorgeous!

P.S. I've decided that from this weekend on I'm not going to chew my fingernails anymore (I've been doing it for years). Wish me luck!

Friday Catchup

Ever had the feeling like you take three steps forward, only to fall back four steps? That's how my last 3 weeks have been. In other words, really frustrating!! I've been so busy and stressed that I'm getting home absolutely exhausted and getting absolutely nothing done. I'm really determined to at least make a dent (even if it's a small one!) in my to-do list this weekend.

TO-DO this weekend

• 10 million loads of laundry, plus cleaning
• Mow the lawn
• Go to friend's baby shower
• Wrap present for said friend's baby shower
• Organise the office (now that the hubby is actually using it!)
• Go to church (on Sunday)
• Vaccuum

Do you think that sounds reasonable? If only I could get through all that! I can try!
And just to remind myself what a clean house looks like, some beautiful homes...
