I still have all my fabric packed away but have plans to get it out this week!I can totally feel for you. We have tons of renovations to do but of course, it all takes time. I would love to hear what work you contract out, how that went and what you do yourself. I can't wait to see your new craft room and the other fun things you do...

Not having agency sucks. But, they will get there and it will be so fantastic. I'll bet one day you will realize that everyone is settled in and it will feel great to know your kids sorted out how to adapt. (I'm so excited for you! New spaces to decorate! And design!

It was difficult especially because we didn't have anything to move into (we were in an apartment for 13 months). Anyway, we are in our new-to-us house and are loving the space and painting and making it our own. You will love it and by the looks of your previous home, the new one will be beautiful! :)aubreyphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459423620825091316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-13424350764874759202013-01-16T08:32:56.119-05:002013-01-16T08:32:56.119-05:00I really want to know about the wood your contract...I really want to know about the wood your contractor found. I love old construction surprises lurking behind layers of finishes.<br /><br />We are building a new house, and while the whole process of selling and packing and moving and possible transitional housing is wearing me out, I'm so excited to see the finished product. However, I do not have your design abilities so I selfishly find myself wishing you were further ahead of us so I could borrow some ideas from what will surely be your stunning new home!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393847636501599146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-37113254231722528822013-01-16T07:32:31.507-05:002013-01-16T07:32:31.507-05:00Margot-I was doing a weekly sew along with her pre...Margot-I was doing a weekly sew along with her previous school, making a themed outfit that had to do with the letter of the week.

I had no idea... what a change! I can't imagine what it is like to move such a big family after so many years... <br />As for renovations, I don't have much to say, we finally finished renovating our 1880's house and I've been living with tools, cables and dust everywhere for the past ten years... I actually even miss those, now... and my honey misses renovating so bad we just bought a new house which has ti be totally 're-build'... quite a challenge ;-)<br />anyway, I hope it will all go as you wish and I am certain the girls will get used to their new environnement and quickly make new friends. I am certain also that your new place will be at last as pretty as the old one ;-)ByNightCreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687716703635382162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-51974106522633846402013-01-16T01:49:27.938-05:002013-01-16T01:49:27.938-05:00Oh wow, new house!!

If ever you need to see some finished rooms, rather than partly finished ones you are surrounded by, stop on by at assortedjoys.wordpress.com.<br /><br />I'll miss your sewing posts (as I have already!) but to tell the truth, my sewing room is still part of the unfinished 40% of the house so I am also glad that my list of "Sew Important Items to Make" (yes, I keep a list titled as such...) isn't getting too long and overwhelming!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-61321185589062504592013-01-15T19:30:30.738-05:002013-01-15T19:30:30.738-05:00So excited for your new adventure!

(say what?!) True there was only two of us but I'm a teacher with 'teaching stuff'.<br /><br />My biggest tip, keep reminding yourselves of the bigger picture. THere will be an end, it will look great! <br />And secondly if you've chosen a fitting/ item/ colour/ furniture that causes comments/ raises eyebrows etc stick with it! If you can visualise it, it will work and later on it sure is a positive conversation starter! :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345667935498990089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162868398041347638.post-72081528953305841742013-01-15T18:13:08.102-05:002013-01-15T18:13:08.102-05:00Congrats on moving!
