It happens next week!!

Finally we can say that we're going overseas next week! Starting to get excited and just a little nervous, hoping that everything goes according to plan.  People who have visited Vegas are saying how amazing it is but I'm also really looking forward to Disneyland :)



I made a quilt for Ben's friend, Meaghan, who is currently on HMAS Anzac in the Middle East. I sent this along with a laundry bag and some lollies to her.

 
Typical Stevie poses!
 
 
Josh sent Stevie home for a week or so to visit, apparently he was getting a bit annoyed with her but has realised since she was away that he really missed her, awwww!

 
I did some packing the other week (while procrastinating about doing housework) and worked out that I could flatten the carry-on bag and pack it into the suitcase for going over and that would give me more room for 'stuff' when I'm coming home. Winner!

I received an early birthday present last Friday when we purchased a new DSLR camera for me, Bun says it's to keep me busy while he's working hahaha.  He said that I would get bored and this way I can go for walks and take photos, I actually think he's more concerned that my butt will get big if I sit and sew while he's working!

I've also been busy in the sewing room, getting quilts out of the way and making some pyjama pants for me (3) from fabric that Ben brought back from Indonesia for me.  I've also managed to make a couple of tops for me plus there's another on the table to be cut out.  I wanted to make full use of the overlocker before we leave because that's definitely staying home.

There's still a few things to organise but unfortunately now we have to deal with police reports and insurance companies because early on Saturday morning, 2 motorbikes and 3 chainsaws were stolen from our shed!  Bun's pretty pissed off because they took the 2-wheeler that was going to be going on the back of the truck when we leave!  Still it's all only 'stuff' and can be replaced or gone without.

Next post may just be from America!!!  Whoo hoooo!
