Well, like most things, moving and fixing up our house took longer than expected, and I am sad to have completely missed the Valentines Day rush, treasuries, features, etc, etc... another year, I suppose!
However, we do pretty much have the house up and running. We've been living here for a full month now and it's finally starting to feel like home. Everything is moved in, save for a few things stored at my parents house, curtains have been sewn, and I'm already planning paint colours for the exterior of our little barn-house.
Everyday, I walk down the stairs in utter amazement. I'm so proud of Dan and I, and so thankful for all of the work my Mom & Dad, cousins, uncles & aunts have put into our house over the last week. It felt like an old fashioned barn-raising here with all of my family over to help, everyone hurrying around finishing up projects. I am so grateful to have the family I have.
I've got my sewing machines all set up to get back to business this weekend. I am planning on retiring old designs, holding a sample sale, and listing a bunch of new things come spring. In the meantime, I am keeping Ohhh Lulu on vacation until I can get myself better organized. Plus, I'd like to give myself a break. I've done a lot over the last several months, between getting married and buying a house! :)
Though... I say that now, and I'm sure this weekend I'll sew something up that I won't be able to resist listing on Etsy!!!
Wow, your new home is looking absolutely fantastic! And I look forward to the return of Ohhh Lulu (and the sample sale ;o))!
