Finally - our new couch!

This has been a long time coming...

We finally got a new couch! We loaded the old couches into my office, posted them on gumtree, cleaned and vacuumed in time for two very burly men to plop them into our lounge room. Our old couches were bought by the lovely Jacob back in the days of bachelorhood and while they were comfy, they were still separate sofas, which make it very hard to cuddle with said hubby and two dogs. Now, we have rolling plains of space, lounging, cuddling, relaxing and extending our legs beyond large oversided arms.

And not to mention I can layout most of my Granny Squares to design my current blanket... Heavenly!

here it is! in all it's glory and pre-dog haired!

New Zealand.

As you know, New Zealand has been hit by some incredibly hard times. 

I am auctioning off a few prints on my Facebook page for the NZ Red Cross to help with the rescue and recovery efforts. They need all the help and support they can get.

ALL proceeds from each item successfully sold will be going to the New Zealand Red Cross. http://www.redcross.org.nz/

Please, dig deep! 
Every single cent will be going to the New Zealand Red Cross to help everyone affected. Spread the love in anyway you can!!

Auction prints and details are here...

one of the prints up for auction...

My heart is breaking just thinking about the people and the city lost to the earthquake. 

Thank you so much for your support.

*some favorite photos of 2009

I've been taking this last day of a decade to go through some photos I've taken the last year...

These are from our NZ trip in March... They are all from the Holga, too. I decided that was the only camera I was going to bring, and it was liberating!

I'm sure I'll have more as the day goes on...
