Welcome and hello!

Hello there!

Welcome to this tiny corner of the internet, where I'll be documenting my family's journey into town living at our new home. We've gardens to put in, flowers to pick, food to make, pictures to draw, a chook pen to build - the list is long!

I love gardening and crafting, as well as reading and writing. We homeschool our two youngest, so there is usually craft stuff hanging about, and a couple of weird "science" experiments evolving somewhere (hopefully where I will find it before it starts walking!). I usually have at least one crochet hook in my hair, even in summer when it is almost too hot to hook anything.

We've recently moved off a farm, and the two little ones are living in town for the first time in their lives. Having close neighbours is both exciting and a learning curve! Exploring our new town has been lovely, and having op shops and markets close by has been fun (if a little draining on the wallet). We're settling in to our new community, and looking forward to this next phase in our lives.

Right now we're waiting for much needed rain so we can start putting in our gardens. This means most of my time is spent planning the food forest layout and the forage for the chook pen, and unpacking boxes. Mainly boxes of books and craft supplies. I have way more of both than I thought ;)

I hope you read along with me. Next post I'll put up some pictures of our yard as part of our garden record keeping. There's nothing like seeing the before pictures to help you remember just how far you've come.

Take care ox
