The Kitchen is finished... sort of...

Yep, it is almost done... some issues that need to be sorted out, a missing curved door that they seem unable to get hold of, some plaster work that wasn't done properly or done at all, the worktops don't fit...

but I have working taps and a working hob and a working oven!! LOL

and now we have knocked half the wall down between the kitchen and dining room, we use the dining room space all the time, which seems so much better than having a closed off room that nobody went into.

this is the dining room from the kitchen...

and the kitchen with the double doors to the lounge from the dining room...

and at the end of the kitchen is Chris' chair where he sits and chats to me while I cook or make green smoothies and the mahoosive radiator that will hopefully keep us toasty and warm come winter!  (the bookcase will go as soon as I find something that I like to put the phone and modem on...) 

and I have been busy in the scraproom too!  I have unpacked all the scrap boxes!!  I know... its hard to believe, but they are all emptied and the stuff is put away... the fact that I won't be able to find anything for months is lost on me... but at least the cats can now sleep in the scraproom while I sort cupboards and get rid of stuff I don't need and soon... very soon... I will be able to sit and create something.  I have missed that... way more than I thought I would.

WOYWW 257

Here we go again.... sung to the well known tune of same name!  Yes, here it is Wednesday already and my desk is looking very bare... except for some ATC's I started for the big swap... but haven't finished yet.

I was actually congratulating myself last week because I am normally in the throws of moving when the WOYWW Anniversary comes around... and here I am in the new house and unpacked already!!  Except I thought too soon... cos we have now been giving our leaving Oz date and it is in 4 weeks.  So I am now in full on get cats paperwork sorted, get lists made, find out about shippers, sell off anything that can't be shipped mode... 

So before I get the packing boxes out of the storage cupboard and start packing again.... (insert your own expletives at this point because all mine are used up) I thought I would take a step back and show you the scraproom before it goes into dismantle mode.  This is my working corner, the scrap desk and computer desk under the window..

and the rest of the room is storage for stash.. oh and little Pandy keeping me company in a cardboard box on the floor... 

So if youa re wondering what I am rabbiting about with visiting desk, check out the leader of the desk snoop, Julia, for all the details.   I will be around to visit peeps, leave me a number to keep the process fast and easy and if anyone wants to swap an ATC... let me know in the comments.
