Today is the very first day that Samuel is at school... and Im free to sort out my sewing haven in the back of the garage.

Im lucky that it is steel and has a very high roof line internally..... there arent too many spider webs and someone has generously left very nice and very comfy to walk on.... carpeting inside.  My sewing table is in place.... but Ive got a fridge and a few boxes in my way.  I want my desk and a cutting table and a sewing table AND my ironing board all just in the right place.... I havent sewn anything for weeks and I dont mind the hard work to rearrange the shed.... if it means I can get back to it.

Samuel is loving school.... and the weather is warm and the beach is calling.  A lovely week ahead!.

Im so blessed.  Everything is falling into place for us.

I wonder what "it" is.... what a young person can have in his/her mind / makeup / life : one young person is highly motivated and another isnt.  The theorists say we are brought up by the combo of nature and nurture.  Sometimes if I wonder if nature will always win through regardless of the nurture.  I really really wanted my children to be more self driven than this.

Finally all our stuff is here from the old house and it shouldnt take long to put it all away.  The good thing is a beautiful shady tree out the back ... as well as a great big table.  So sorting and packing or putting away is easy.

I am so looking forward to being able to sit and crochet / knit / read really soon.  It has been quite a busy two months and I havent made anything at all.  Im just not happy.

OMG the computer table is sticky..... I share my computer with my 7 year old LOL and everything is always sticky!!!

Peter is loving and kind and we are getting along great at the moment.  It is really nice to have someone wake up in the morning and search out your hand so they can hold it.

Ive too much to do to make a "to do" list.  Ha ha.... I might wait until next week.

One thing though.... it is Valentine's Day soon.  I love it!

Officially as of yesterday my new front door and the view out the back door.

Our blue house is close to the beach .... a great beach better than before.  I hope we have a happy life here.
