Home at Last!

Finally after 20plus years in the UK im back on home soil and it feels GREAT! Here in Hamilton New Zealand, the people are soooo friendly and the weather is perfect. I think we will all be happy here and that includes Mr Chew Chew (my pug) and Angus (big black cat).
So for now we are cooped up in a motel driving each other nuts! We will hopefully have the keys to our new home in 3 weeks and SO cannot wait! Should be about that time our ship arrives with our entire life on board...an.oh GOODIE i will at last have my own studio/sewing room!
Today I dragged my daughter Madeleine to the huge Craft and Quilt Fair at Claudelands Event Centre. Wow its a great space and I have a feeling Ill be back soon to see (squeal!) Cesar Millan (come on, hes wonderful!) So anyway i bought a load of stuff i dont need and cant do much with but it FELT GOOD! Oh I saw my sewing machine there and also my Vagabond Machine...(I may have mentioned I HAVE ONE OF THOSE... to anyone that would listen..)
I gotta say I have never had so much empty time on my hands and have had my nails done and been to the hairdresser, but  nothing will fill my crafting void!!

Well the clock wont stop (tick tock tick tock..) time flys etc etc and I do have dolls to make...If i can remember how lol!! it feels like ages.!! I am so aware of my limited time left here to get all my projects done and I also have gained so many brillant customers i will be sad to leave them...Here are some pics of my new blocks, this lots ready to go, I have slightly put up the price due to my purchases cost going up so its gotta balance out! How cute are these dolls faces???!!!!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all my customers whilst Ive been here in the UK. I am moving back home to New Zealand in August after my extended visit!
