I've been showing you our new home and all the fluff & finery, but today I thought I'd show you reality.
For the most part, the majority of our boxes are unpacked or put into the storage area of our basement.  However, this is the last room that really needs some help.  It is my sewing room; last night hubby and I began putting together my craft/cutting table(pictured on the left, leaning against the wall.  I've got about six large boxes that need to be unpacked and put into my bookshelf.  After our garage sale this weekend, I have another table that will hold a machine or two for our granddaughters.  This was hubby's idea-to get two cheap machines and teach two granddaughters at a time to sew.  Both of our older ones are already sewing but it might be fun to let them practice here, side by side. 
I am finally getting to go out walking with Kam today and I'm thankful. I also have to stop by the post office and get some goodies in the mail to Cindy Cain and Nellie Todd for winning my "Where am I contest".  A bit of time with the grands and then I'll be home; hopefully unpacking. 
I hope you have a wonderful day today! 
Blessings to you~
Noreen

  5. I love your sewing room! Mine is tucked in a corner of what Melissa still calls "her room" even though she hasn't lived at home in almost 10 years!

  8. So glad that you are finally making it to your sewing room! And how awesome that you'll be sewing alongside your granddaughters. What previous memories you'll be making!

  9. So glad you are getting settled, it always is a bigger job then one anticipates. Having sewing tables for your granddaughters is a wonderful idea. What a great way to create memories. While I was very unsuccessful at the hand crafts, I have wonderful memories of my Nana trying to teach me!

  10. No worries about what is left to unpack, instead pride yourself on how much you have accomplished so quickly. Your sewing room is going to be just fine, and just think of the wonderful memories you and your granddaughters will create there.

  11. How wonderful to have a whole room for sewing in Noreen. How I would love that!! And I think your idea of the two machines to teach your granddaughters on is a wonderful plan! My little 5 year old granddaughter is fascinated with the whole idea as well. I think I might give her a little while longer before I teach her, but I can't wait. And speaking of "can't wait" I can't wait to see that sewing room all together. Hope the rest of your week is good!

  13. Hi Noreen,
    Went back and read some of your other posts from this week and then came on this one.....
    Your new home is beautiful, love the floor to ceiling windows, so nice.
    and can't believe you got snow again. wow.......will this winter ever stop.......
    What a nice big sewing and craft
    room you have....that is really nice. Love your pretty fireplace too, and looks like you are about
    done with you boxes so know you are ecstatic about that..........

    Also wanted to say I received my package along with your sweet note. Thank you so much for the lovely notecards and the sweet
    plumeria scented coconut oil soap.
    It smells so good and is very pretty too........Can't wait to
    try it.........and it was a fun
    surprise cause I had forgotten about it!! Thanks again so much
    hon.

    We just started feeding our cat
    Blue Buffalo grain free food back
    in March and she is doing so much
    better, cause she was itching and
    pulling her fur out and looked horrible, her hair has almost all grown back now, and she is not
    itching all the time, and we can
    just tell she is feeling better,
    and is eating better as well.
    So it must be doing something...lol

    Well, take care hon, and hope you get some nice rest her soon.
    Blessings Abundant,
    Nellie
    and Thanks again sweetie
