About Me

Sydney, Australia
I am a stay at home mum to 2 princesses, wife to a gorgeous Irishman and proud owner of an adorable long haired German Shepherd. I would craft and read the days away if the responsibilities of life did not get in the way! In the mean time I take time, as time allows, to indulge in the things I love!

Just What I Needed...

With Dave away last week, a night out with 4 great ladies, yummy Japanese dinner, girly giggles, a couple of glasses of plum wine and a chick flick was just what was needed for my sanity and my soul! Nothing beats a girls night out!

Dreaming...My Dream home in the Making!

For 13 long months we made plans - meeting after meeting with the designer and architect, conversation after conversation between Dave and I, always looking for ideas and inspiration on the internet, in real estate guides, in the local newspapers. I dreamed of my dream home's layout and structure. Then in May, we had it! We were happy! Off to council, we went. An hour and half later we left, disappointed, we had been unable to lodge. Our local council had brought in new guidelines with regards to water retention - a whole 10,000 litres of it. So back to the drawing board, we engaged an engineer and then 3 weeks later our DA was finally lodged into council. It was advertised on their website, council received a submission (read objection) from a neighbour BUT it is now out of our hands - I thought I would be stressed about it, we have a tricky block in that it is sloping so with the amount of excavation we need to do we have really pushed the limits within some of the guidleines! I really do just feel what will be, will be and we can worry about it if and when we need to.

In the mean time, I have been playing with ideas for all the pretty things.

This has been taking up some time and I am really enjoying it. I can really picture my home, my dream home and I can't wait for it to come to fruition!

Unless I have emailed you, there is no fabric left.

Thanks to those taking it of my hands!

Free to Good Home - Just Pay Postage!

I am clearing out my stash in readiness for our renovation.

There is 4 large storage containers of various FQ's, scraps, cross stitches and some yardage. Loads of "designer" and excellent quality fabrics as I buy all my fabric at my local quilt shop.

If you are happy to pay postage (can fill prepaid satchels) let me know and you are welcome to it all. Otherwise it is all going to Vinnies.

I am just finally being realistic and need to move them on to where they will be loved and used and not taking up valuable storage space.

Might even be a couple of kits by the time I go through it all.

Due to time constraints it will be a "lucky dip", I can assure you though you will not be disappointed!

Flick me an email to kayscha@hotmail.com if you are interested.
