where has all the time gone.....I will be thinking about Christmas very soon.
I have been so busy knitting for a sale at the Old Fire Station Community Arts Centre in Kiama with another sale coming up in a couple of weeks, I have been forgetting to take photos.
DH and I have been busy painting the inside of our home now that we are along in the house again. It is so quiet, we miss our family but they are enjoying being out in their own place and we are enjoying being home along again.
I have turned my son and daughter inlaws room into a guest bedroom, well in the process, the painting is done and the bed nearly put back together. My grand-daughters room is now my craft room...yahoo a craft room all to myself. I have started to move all my craft things from the study to the new room, a big job and a great way to remember exactly what I do have.
I have finished two projects for my grand-daughter, one I didn't get photos of, the black swing type cardigan, no buttons, what a bonus. Over the weekend while she was having a sleep over with us I finished her thick (20ply) very colourful top it is a sleeveless top with a hood with the side seams done up with two large buttons on each side and 3 large buttons on the front from halfway up to the top, very cosy and warm.
So back to the felted slippers for the Old Fire Station in a couple of weeks.....winter has really hit here, not that it is as cold as where a lot of you are from, but for us here on the coast when it gets down to tops of 12 Celsius, we really think it is cold. I had to get the gas heater out on Sunday to warm the house, not too bad going to not have to turn it on till now, even though most of my friends think I was mad, but it you haven't got warm clothes on in the house then the heater is not going on to warm you up in shorts and t-shirts, that is just a waste of gas and money.
We are in the middle of some very heavy rain and wind which has been going for the past couple of days and will be calming during the next day or so, don't mind the rain, I don't like the wind.

Wow, you have been so busy. You sound like a lot of my friends whose children have moved out and they are embarking on the next stage of their lives together!!! Yay, a craft room!! I hope to have mine organised by the end of the year.
We have colder nights and warmer days, when it is 12 and sunny it is quite warm!! We heat the parts of the house we are mainly in: the bedroom and lounge room and we also wear warm clothes, the electricity is so expensive here!!
I agree, the wind is awful, I like the rain.
