Well, it has been a very long wait for our family to move into our new digs. A year. May 24 of 2010 we moved from our home in the west end to a teeny tiny condo on the southside while we waited for our house to be built. My husband and I thought, this 2 bedroom should be no problem for us, our 7 year old, and new baby due in a few months. Well, that was a bit of a stretch. Our second daughter was born and she shared our room with us and I have never held my breath for so long in an attempt to not wake her while tiptoeing to the adjoined bathroom! There were many sleep deprived nights, middle of the night cryings, whisper-yelling at my husband to pee in the other bathroom so not to wake her when walking by, and I almost got use to sleeping with my pillow over my head BUT there was a light at the end of our tunnel. Our house was finally ready! A house complete with garage, ceiling fixtures that don’t leak, room enough for a kitchen table, and a bedroom for everyone!
On top of all that there is a new sewing room complete with cork floor, a murphy sewing table, and closet space. No more sewing in the middle of the living/dining room. No more asking husband and eldest daughter to jump over sprawled fabric. And no more risk of melting carpet when the iron drops off the ironing board. (Yes, this happened in our old house and the mark it leaves is very very large!). Some pics are attached of the new room although there are still curtains to hang and details to add but those will come, when I get a minute…..
