We have a new home!
It is such a great feeling after a year of fixing, staging, showings, inspections, etc.
Granted, we've been here for about 3 months now, but it is truly feeling like home now.
Look at our brightly painted happy door? It's such a cheerful feeling to come home to that.
The kitties prefer the front door view from the inside out.
One of the best things about the house is that I get my own craft room. I no longer have to live in one corner of the living room. Now I get to spread out. Yay! In reality it just means more work mess to clean up. But hey, I have yet to see a creative person's work desk that was not utterly cluttered.
All my beading supplies have been sorted out and I get wonderful morning light through the window. Sunday mornings, while the kids are lingering in bed, is my favorite time to sit and play with my pearls and wires.
Besides the jewelry work, I have also spent a lot of time in the garden. I just finished putting in raised beds and was able to get the winter veggies planted before the nights got too cold and the days to short. With any luck, we'll have assorted greens and lettuce to munch on in a few weeks.
And my biggest house project so far has been painting the downstairs living room. We're going from a dark, wood paneled cave to a bright and happy playroom. If you've ever painted paneling you know how long it takes. Cleaning, hole filling, sanding, primer, prime again and then paint two layers. But the results are soo worth it. I can't wait to show off the finished room.
Okay, now back to work! and have fun!
