What's on Your Work Wednesday - 8th May 2013

I'm back!  We moved in to the house two weeks ago and I am all unpacked and sorted! The scrap room was the last place to sort and I am exceedingly happy that it is now done.
The room I chose for the scraproom is in the basement and has a little nook study on the side and a shower room... it will also be the guest bedroom if anyone decides to come and visit.  Hopefully any guests won't mind sharing it with my stash! On my desk today is a light weight quilt cover I am making for the guest bed.
I have started it as a half quilt... I didn't want to put myself off on seeing it full queen size and think I will tackle it better in two halves!! LOL
This is my scrap desk and new Expedit units (to replace the ones I left behind in Calgary because they didn't fit in the container for shipping)!
This is the other half of it, think it will work out fine for what I want to do.
Just to prove I have not been sitting about on my bum... this is the lounge/dining room.
and this is the bearded dragon lizard that lives in my back garden!
One of the things that attracted me to this house was this... an outside cat run for Tom-Tom and Pandy.
They love being able to go outside and sit in the sun.. the sides and roof have cat net completely covering it so they can't wander off.
Tom-Tom... very glad to be home again.
Pandy loving sitting in the sun hidden by the ficus tree.

  1. Holy Moly! You've already unpacked???? I'm tipping my hat and in awe. I've moved 31 times and have become superstitious about unpacking those last boxes lol.

  4. How lovely to see Tom-Tom and Pandy looking so well after their flights. They really are the most travelled cats I know of. Love the idea of that cat run, keeps them so safe - brilliant.
    The whole place looks so light and airy, it really is fabulous and I am sure hubby was delighted with it.
    Loved seeing your "words" on the wall - that craftroom is my idea of a heavenly place to craft.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    ps my email addie is achickson@yahoo.co.uk and Flat Susan would love to come and stay with you and Tom-Tom and Pandy.

  5. You certainly haven't been slouching! The new house looks fab and the cat run is ideal. If we ever get another cat I may have to think about one. Happy WOYWW. Pam#23

  8. Loving your house and very jealous of your craft storage! My Craftcave is also my spare room :)

    I love your cats...mine are allowed outside but prefer the comfort of their Craftcave for snoozing.

    Happy WOYWW! #44

  10. What a gorgeous new home you have!!!! And your crafting room is wonderful! I have several of those IKEA units and they are terrific. As a cat lover, I love seeing other people's furbabies.

    Happy Crafting!

  23. Blimey! You work fast. and I love the look of the half-quilt. I did one that was actually 4 long panels, then used the quilt-ads-you-go with sashing to join them. It went together really fast and I got the excitement of having 4 little COMPLETED moments in the process. Check out a blog called The Quilting edge - she has some fab stuff and does the QAYG in interesting ways.


    Happy WOYWW!

The organizer/planner is really nice too. Pandy sure looks cozy hidden back there in the ficus tree. lol! Happy Wednesday! Your newest follower, SueC#120

  28. Your house looks amazing, and your cats are gorgeous. Especially Tom Tom, I have a soft spot for ginger moggies! Love the Expedit cubes, they are the best bit of crafting storage ever, I think. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz #118 xx

    , I have not forgotten that I promised you a package... I just got silly busy and distracted by craft commitments to groups I am in... I do so hope when it finally arrives it will be worth the wait - I am using the wax paper for all sorts of techniques - some of which I will include in your package, thanks for being patient, big love, dxxxx

  33. Wonderful scrap/guest room! Best hope they're not crafters or we'll/they'll over stay their visit! :) Kitties do look very content with their new space. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #87

  34. I've been waiting for you to appear, and you crept in while I was offline. I'm so, so glad to see you have finally settled in. And lo and behold, you are actually back in time for the 4th WOYWW anniversary. That's a rarity.

    Pandy looks bored, but Tom-Tom seems to be taking it all in. I'm so glad to see they are both "home" and in good shape. That's a definite plus! BTW, I can't even see that netting. It must be really fine.

  35. G'day Annette
    thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Due to my sore hands I am even slower then usual at getting around but here I am at last. Welcome to Oz. Glad you have settled into Brisvagas....your home looks gorgeous!!. We are moving from the Northern Territory to north QLD at the end of the year...well hopefuly. My Mum lives in Deception Bay just north of Brissie and I'll be over in June to see her. Annette my hubby is a herpetolgist (reptile expert) and I was so happy to see you have a Bearded Dragon in yr gardens. Hope the cats leave him alone. Love the quilt you made too and yr lovely creative art space!!
