Meet Bessie


Full name Bessie-Bob (we had a girls vs boys naming conflict ;). Big changes coming round here for our family. We are planning to sell our house and move into Bessie at the end of the school year. Hubby has been ready to leave our small town for a year or two but it has taken me until the last couple of months to come on board with that idea. We are both on the same page now and I'm glad because being on differing pages was not good for our marriage.

We are lucky to have such loving and supportive families who are both concerned for us and encouraging. My family are unsure how we're going to go living in a tiny home (though Bessie is pretty big I'm not sure she counts as a tiny home) while Ian's Dad has generously loaned us the bus.

Most people assume we're going to be off travelling but we just want to be closer to Perth and mortgage free without paying rent. We don't know exactly where we'll be but we're trusting the universe that it is lining up somewhere awesome for us to park Bessie (been listening to a lot of Abraham and loving it!). In the meantime I am busy pairing down our belongings and throwing around the phrase 'not gonna fit in the bus'.

Once we get the house cleaned up and ready for sale I'll finally be able to do a before and after post of the renovation on the old bowling club we live in (only three years after we moved in!). I'll also have a before and after post after we clean up Bessie and modify her to fit the four of us and our stuff in. I do so love before's and after's.

In other news I am waiting for double pointed knitting needles to arrive but finally googled Magic Loop and am knitting the sleeves of Mia's jacket on my cable needles. If I'd done that before ordering the dpn's I wouldn't have needed to order them! At least I'll have a knitting project to take with me in a week and half when I fly out for my now annual girls weekend in Bali, I am so ready for some sun!!


I hope you are getting as much rain as you need wherever you are but also a sunny day or two thrown in as well.

Much love!
