Diana' s Space

Woo Hoo I am back and have a new home

Morning all.

Well I am literally in my new home in Johannesburg! The packers arrived on Monday and delivered my furniture on Thursday the 29th. I cannot say that I am organised but all of my bedroom and living room boxes are unpacked!. The studio is looking great but so far I have not unpacked any of my crafty stuff!!!

And I have a new home for my blog! We migrated my blog, Caz's blog and IACW http://itsacreativeworld.typepad.com/its_a_creative_world/ yesterday with very few hiccups. It did take quite a while to edit all the posts and setup the 'categories' (labels on blogger).

I have missed you all but should be back with the daily prompts by Tuesday.

The last 2 weeks have been really hectic and I must admit I have not even visited your blogs. All I seem to have been doing is getting to know typepad and working out how to get all our buttons and flickr's on. And testing how to migrate our posts from blogger to typepad! So if anyone is considering the move - I have lots of the answers.

So glad to be back!

Thanks for visiting me and love as always from Di XXX

The word today is Confused

Confused: This is something we can be almost everyday. But can you capture confused through your lens?

What the heck!!! You bet I am confused. How on earth do you think I am going to get this little lot into my suitcase when I travel to Caz and Stu in December. AND I have only just started to collect the stuff. I guess I have to take an extra bag that I can dump in England. I so far have 2 oriental rugs, clothes, tablemats, books, scissors, tapestries and goodness knows what else. I WILL make a plan LOL.

LOL thought I would share with you today a few more pics of my home seeing as the "Favourite Spots" theme is finished.

This is my stove! And what a great stove it has been. OK it's not an AGA which is what I have always dreamed of having. But I can fit inside 4 roasting trays or 4 trays of biscuits. How cool is that?

And this is the cabinet in my dining room where I keep my beautiful crystal glasses and precious stuff. On the top are two lovely urns which I bought a few years back. They are shaped like ginger jars.

And here hidden away is the dreaded TV. I love that I can close the doors and it's gone. No, I do not have a modern flat screen; it's just a big fat Sony TV LOL.

My home will be packed up soon and relocated to Johannesburg. What I try to remember is that it is the house I am selling NOT my home.

Well I am lunching today with friend Little Di so have fun folks. I will!!!

PS please don't forget our Just Giving Page over at IACW - we are now trying to double our target by the end of the year so we have a way to go!!!

The word today is sad...

This week we are going to focus on emotions. We prompt you with one word and you translate it the best you can through your lens. Try hard as you can NOT to use a human face to reflect that emotion. For instance - Sad. A dying plant, a messy corner, mucky windows (we all have them at one point!).

Some of you may have seen my sad empty room before but here it is again.

This room looked so lovely before I emptied the furniture an all the lovely decor. Yes it makes me sad. i decorated this room for my mom who has gone. It is now bare and empty and very very sad.

Morning all and a happy Monday to you all.

I have an real easy peasy post today at IACW - christmas decoration or bunting for inside the home! Here is a sneak peak:

Hee Hee went to my old work this morning to spend a few hours helping with a tool that they will be using to match customer information, and it was great fun. I was really stimulated and felt that I added some value. That is real important to me.

This week I will be busy packing up my crafting stuff; well some of it! I am hoping to hear real soon if my house sale is actually going through so that I can get on with planning the end of November and beginning of December.

LOL I had a comment yesterday from my nephew Allie. I am doing my next parachute jump with him in about 8 years and he said he is going to help me down. Well how kind is that! Thanks Allie!!!

OH dear it's just a short boring post from me today folks!
