Oh my goodness.. I haven’t blogged for 3 days!!! How strange… 🙂 Well, I am enjoying the break and I hope you are too!
So, what has been happening behind the scenes in October?
Lots 🙂
We left Holland on the 3rd of October to go to Dubai… Back into the heat and humidity! Must admit I preferred the weather in Holland!
Mum, DD and I were in Dubai for a week… while Dad took a side trip to Jordan to visit friends…. Us girls just had a lovely relax…
DD also came for a few days for work, so he was able to catch up with us, which was nice…
I was in Dubai for a few more days on my own, so I made the most of the peace and quiet and worked on my 31 Day Series…
Breakfast was included in the room rate, but we had a kitchenette, so I just cooked some simple meals for dinner and found that two meals a day were perfect for me!
It was nice to have a relaxing week in Dubai after a fun but hectic month in Europe… and then when I got home, this is what greeted me:
Yes… boxes…. our lease finished on our old apartment and DH moved while I was in Holland…. I told him not to stress, if he moved it all, I would unpack when I got home… 🙂
My new sewing room looked like this:
Hmmm and just when I had got the old one how I wanted it…
So, since I have been back in Arabia, I have been unpacking… teaching classes… unpacking… trying to get organized… and you know how they say it is going to get worse before it gets better? Well, this is what my sewing room looks like now…
… and I can’t say it looks much better… I obviously have a LOT more work ahead of me!!!
So, this month’s goal for me is to… get…. O… O… Organized… Yes, I know, it seems to be a common phrase I throw around regularly, but seeing that this was our 25th move in almost 25 years of marriage it is no wonder that I spend half my life trying to get organized….
So on that note… back to work. I have to keep organizing stuff and prepare for classes this week…
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
I do believe that your name really is Gypsy instead of Joy–though I do have to say –Joy also fits you as you always sound joyful!!!! Hope you can get it all organized soon and get on with your ufo’s–
enjoy the moments,di (even the unpacking)
I couldn’t cope with all the upheaval, although I know we’ve moved many times & I’m not going to try and count, though maybe one day when you are home (Oz), we’ll have fun seeing how many I’ve had too. Your short break must have been a welcome relax before getting back to that. Happy week & take care. BTW, I’ve answered the email late, but you’ll see why.
luckily humans are adaptable… and you show us how to do it so well….

Gosh, that is a lot of moving! In spite of your boxes that still need sorting, you do seem very organised though, you seem to fit everything in that you need to do! Good luck with the rest of your unpacking 🙂
One move, on average, every year – yikes!!! Must stop you from accumulating too much stuff. Good luck with the organisation.
