So its been a while...

Just when I was enjoying having lots of time to be creative and have some 'ME' time, I was needed at work to cover some extra shifts and I've ended up working full time.... So It's been a while since I have had the chance to get all fancy with my fumblings!

Over the past month I had a chance to go home to my parents place and raid the old material stash and also pick the last of the tomatoes..


I got older and was spoilt with good food, great company and lovely gifts...





We have also had alot of issues in the apartment we have been renting. The building is only 18 months old and already the shower had developed a leak due to the sealant that was used, breaking down after 12 months instead of 12 years! It took them 6 weeks to fix it.

We then had faulty wiring through the smoke detectors which happened at the time of the shower leak. It took them 8 weeks to fix.....

Then the heating failed to work during the coldest weeks we have had in melbourne so far this year! It took 2 weeks to fix...

We endured this weather whilst having no heating... not much fun!
14 emails, 8 phone conversations, 6 tradesmen... and we still have a hole in the roof that needs re-plastering. I HATE RENTING!

On a happier note... One of my handmade bags has made its way to Sydney!






Thankyou Rubina!

I still have an endless list of fancy fumblings that have been put on hold till things at work settle down....

How has your past month been... Any Renting tips??

  1. Rneting tip: Advise the real estate agent that you've received three quotes for the work needed and you've chosen the lowest quote. Let them know that you've done this because their nominated tradesperson has been unreliable.
    You can finish by stating when they will recieve the invoice and what payment terms are.

    Worked for us when we had an agent ;)
