Moving plants and finished office/sewing room

Hello again ☺☺

Slowly slowly knitting that sock but enjoying.....I really can spend a lot of time doing nothing at all.......

Thank goodness all of these plants do not have to move for the extension as these succulents are really growing well ☺

The Mint has come back and going crazy in this little patch of our yard

So on Sunday I moved some of those herbs into the garden bed ready for them...Coriander on the  right and then a bush of Thyme 

Looking from this angle 2 plants of Sage with Oregano next to that and hoping.....really hoping they cope with the move......

And here is my new sewing area all set up with my little corner computer desk ready for surfing the net ☺☺

Oh and got to love having Jack Sparrow to watch over me ♥

And the man's corner is set up and he is very happy ☺

View from my sewing desk looking at the backyard ☺

The empty office/sewing room

Ready to bring in the beds

And there are the 3 beds, 1 king single and the others are bunks but as singles for now.

Currently we can sleep 5 extras if needed or 7 if using the Winnie van ♥

Today the weather was wet wet and cold cold.....typical as we often get 4 seasons in 1 day

but it was good for the oregano and sage, they look happy 

Don't know about the Thyme or Coriander 

I recently experimented with musk sticks and some vodka and here it is after being filtered....

Pretty looking and quite a nice little tipple, not to sweet either

How are things in your world?

Getting closer to my youngest boy's wedding which is rather exciting ☺☺

Take care and see you again

Changes and Lemon problems

Hey there my visitors..... not a nice picture but, sabotage of the lemons!!!! And I destroyed the culprit and then went inside to collect......

this great spray, have used it before and really sorts out quite a few bug problems ☺☺

The lemon tree has grown heaps and we have even cut it back a few times....I gave it a real good spray....the tree is under 5 years old and we have had PLENTY of lemons from it ☺☺

I have just made up this concoction using a lemon with ginger and honey recipe in this blog and going to see how it tastes in a day or 2, possible a tsp with hot water ☺☺

And used some lemon peel in this strange looking mix with ginger, sugar, vanilla bean and vodka......homemade-ginger-liqueur recipe source I am on a roll with ginger at the moment lol 

And just grated ginger with vodka ginger-infused-vodka recipe and going to have a wee taste tonight as only needed 24hrs, so let's hope it tastes good with soda ☺☺

Tiny ginger bits in the vodka, next time if it tastes ok will just use thin slices ☺☺

And back to the room changes.....here is the room we used for our office with computers and sewing now looking rather empty ☺

The spare bedroom however is in a bigger mess for now........

But the shed room now has my horn sewing cabinet, computer desk in corner and the bigger desk for the old computer.....

And the man will have his little corner computer desk in that corner and we have filing cabinets in place and just need to setup our printers.....we even have the Internet working out there ☺☺

Another task which needs to be done soon is most of this garden bed, my herbs, need to move as we are slightly extending the house........

And those herbs need to move into this garden bed, lets hope they survive the move......if not will just have to replace....

How are things at your place this weekend?

We are having 2 good days of weather which helps, although not enjoying the hay fever lol 

See you again real soon xoxoxo

Bits and pieces and a MOON with changes

Ah yes, starting to try to make another pair of socks and really hope I can get on with this pair a lot quicker than the last ones......they took me over a year due to lack of motivation.....I suffer that A LOT 

Made up a nice herbal tea of Rosemary, Lavender and Mint 

We had left over roast beef so the man turned it into 6 small pies with onion/mushroom and a bit of sauce, and only used one sheet of filo to each pie so quite a healthy pie ☺☺

And I also had the last of the Boozy creek blue cheese in my salad ☺

On Tuesday night I noticed the moon rising so got my camera snapping away.....

This cannon camera does quite well with the zoom ☺

Yes I took even more but don't want to overdue the snaps here as last night we had an eclipse and most of you will have seen that depending where you live ♥

This is last night as the moon rose

Some of those pesky clouds got in on the act......

But still looks good ☺

The man set me up with the tripod so I could get some good clear pictures....

And then the moon started to get eaten away 

Just starting

See on the right how there is a dark patch?

Took plenty of shots and like the look of each photo ☺☺

This was on full zoom and the moon a lot more dark 

 

Starting to get a reddish look

And this was my final photo and was getting a bit harder to captures as could not zoom any closer but it still looks great ☺☺

Hope I have not bored you with too many moon pictures but....well....I love the moon lol

We are doing a few changes to the house here so lots of moving of stuff.....

All this stuff including bed base and bunk bed bases have been moved from garage room which of course means no one can stay here at the moment 

here is the garage room without the beds now and starting to have stuff moved from....

here and all beds will end up in here once all of this stuff is then moved out to the garage room  

The room I well then sew in and do our office type thing in.......

Changes.......
