Thinking of Christmas already?

Well... we are :)

With just one month ahead to the birth day, you possibly can imagine how excited and anxious I am. Getting the last few things done for my baby's arrival and stocking up for Christmas have been keeping more than busy!

I've been trying to get some rest but it has been difficult with the time running out.

For now I would like to present our first set of christmas decoration availiable at our etsy shop. Keep tuned and you'll find more soon.

Now at our online shop!

One cushion, two options.

Back again

After a few days without internet, totally busy unpacking, cleaning and organizing the house. And now here I am doing nothing. I have back ache, kidneys ache and my belly is getting bigger day after day.
It is almost time to see what my little bean has been doing inside me but until then I really have to rest, which is why I have been a bit absent of my work. It has been difficult to be sit down for long "driving" my sewing machine, hopefully it wont be for much longer at least the unpacking is finished. I couldn't stand more boxes around me!

My craft room is almost done, just a few details are missing, maybe what is the most important to make the place plesant and inspiring. Soon you will see.

Making a House a Home and a Room a Craft Room

New house doesn't mean new home. It takes time to transform a House into a Home but with some work, care and love it is getting done. The downstairs has already been tidy and now it is time to do what it takes to make a cosy office/craft room. This place it will be where I will spend most of the day working and creating, it must be practical, but it must be mine!

Tomorrow I am going to buy two top tables and its legs. I need one desk to prepar things and another to sew and maybe to have my PC. I have already got a built in closet where I can organize all my fabrics, craft books, etc and some drawers to put those small things like tools, documents and so on.
With this all tidy and some small details to inspire I will have a tiny but good place to work.

I am anxious to start working again.

Packing Time

After a long journey around "which house should we rent and where". Finally we are getting ready to move. Last days hobby has been packing, cleaning and selecting what to keep and what to put in the bin. Next week we are moving to Rochester, bye bye London... I love you but I can't afford you!
 

What is waiting for us? A small cosy house with 2 double bedrooms and 1 single to make my craft room, a tiny and tidy garden and the sea just ten minutes away by car.
 

Happy? Yes, but not only for that... a new life is coming on every possible ways. With the house package comes a baby. Yes, I'm happy!

Moving

These last days we've been busy trying to find a new house/flat. It's almost a mission impossible  here around London. But it's really time to move.
Our studio flat is not enough to have all my crafty things spread everywhere. Our dinning table is more a working table. Where are those precious moments at the lunch time sitting around the table and talking while eating... where are they in the last few days? Yes it's inevitable the change.

However I like our small and cosy studio flat, perfectly located, with the nature around and just a few minutes from good transport links which lead me to the center of London. It was a difficult decision.
Today we are visiting some flats farther from the center of London, hopefully we will find the perfect one for us. Wish us lucky!
