Wishing you a very happy Christmas

As you may remember, I’m having time off with my family at the moment. I’d like to wish you and your family a very happy Christmas!

We’ll be celebrating the birth of our saviour with friends this year. We are thankful to God for his provision for us. If you are unfamiliar with the Christmas […]

Working on the new website

I’ve still not been totally well, so I’ve had a very quiet week, mostly working on the new website. It will be a total revamp. I’m making sure you know that so that when it goes live (don’t hold your breath…) you don’t think you’re in the wrong place. It will look totally different.

Over […]

a brand new day

With the start of the new school year here in Australia, my little one (The Gymnast) goes off to high school today. She’s actually older than The Reader was when she went off to high school, but she just seems so young to be off and being that independent! I suppose it is a second […]

A lovely day in mystery destination capital city

I arrived in mystery destination country yesterday after well over 24 hours of travelling time. Australia is a long way from Europe!

It was cold yesterday when I went out for an afternoon explore. I found some surprising things to look at, which cheered me no end. (I didn’t particularly need cheering, I was just […]

phone not working

I do apologise that if you have tried to call Vetty Creations any time since Monday, you won’t have gotten through. Our phone is not working. You can hear it ringing from your end, and I can hear it ringing from this end too, but when I pick up the phone, it just keeps ringing.

Post-Christmas purge

On Saturday we began a massive clean out. The girls needed to go through their clothes and remove the items that no longer fitted. They needed to organise and throw out stuff.

I needed to attack my office. And I mean ATTACK. I’m dreadful at keeping my office organised. Typically, there are boxes of books, […]

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from all of us here at Vetty Creations! (Really, there’s just me at Vetty Creations, but for the sake of sounding extra friendly, let’s include The Husband, The Reader and The Gymnast in that!)

We’ve just been to church for the Christmas Eve service to celebrate Christ, my saviour’s birth, with The Gymnast […]

seeing how others live

Yesterday at church we participated in a slum life simulation game facilitated by Tear Australia. In the game our family had to make paper bags to a good standard and sell them to shopkeepers in order to earn money to live off.

During the course of the game our house burnt down and we […]
