Photo Frenzy

Hey guys,
So as you know, I've moved back into my house again after a trying month of roof replacement, insulation installation and a total re-paint. I have to say that I'm stoked with the results but in some ways, terrified that with the approach of the summer season that yet another cyclone may decide to blow through Cairns and take my new roof as a souvenir.
On the upside, having to move everything out and stuff it into a shipping container in the front yard has ensured that the unloading procedure has started a chain of events motivating about a million ideas I'd spawned in the past but never bothered to execute. For instance, we've constructed a writing corner and book nook for me. All of my paintings have been hung with careful consideration, and the hubby now has his very own computer play area.
So, I won't drone on, I'm super busy at the moment organising my book signings and a few blog tours, so I thought I'd post you my photos (as promised). Try not to drool over my writing area!
Have a good one everyone,

Kristy:)

Renovator Bug


Well, what an interesting three weeks it has been! I suspect you’ve all read most of my dealings—jazz clubs, endoscopy, the bat shit debacle and of course my tangle with the hippies at a Saturday night dinner in a seedy part of town.
But finally I’m back home again. The two year fiasco of my leaking roof has finally been resolved and my insurance company replaced everything! Alas this also means that I leave the days of shitty hotel internet behind, waving fondly to my ant infested one-bedder in the city and say hello to freshly painted walls of newly renovated home.
Of course now that I’ve seen this beautiful make over, I’m starting to feel the little renovator bug slip into my veins. I just don’t think I can fully move back in until my patio roof has finished being panelled and all my internal bookshelves are re-crafted to house my massive collection of paranormal fiction. It’s all about priorities, you see.
So, with all the furniture still piled up in the shipping container in my front yard, I’ve started to work (with hubby and father) to finish the patio this weekend and fit-out my internals. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? All I need is a yellow ‘Bob The Builder’ hard hat and cool little tool bag to reflect I mean business. Although, hubby thinks I’m the tool bag but we won’t go into that.
Anyway, wish me luck. I’ll pop some pictures up to show you progress on the next post and have a fabulous weekend—I will be!
