Hi cuties,
So as some of you may have noticed I have been MIA for a while now. It has been a CRAZY summer, some health issues, house on the market, vacation and all kinds of stuff going on.
I just had to share my good news with you today and ask for your prayers in seeing my dream become a reality.
We have accepted an offer on our house and have made an offer on our dream house so it is a stressful time. So much to do and so little time, we have to move for the 29th of August (crazy) and I also have my big family reunion coming up on the first weekend of Sept. (I know crazy).
Our new house, if it happens, is a country home (so full of charm) on a secluded, wooded lot (1 acre compared to my 5000 sq. feet that I have now) and on the waterfront. We will have some rénovations to do, new kitchen (youpee finally I will have the kitchen of my dreams) and best of all A NEW SEWING ROOM measuring 19' x 16' twice the size I have now and designed by me as an acutual sewing room and nothing else.
I just have to keep pinching myself as I am so happy. So I needed to share with you all and ask that you send a few prayers my way so that all the details, home inspections, financing on our buyers part, etc. comes through and we can do this.
This is hubby and my retirement dream home so very exciting.
thanks to all, although I have not contributed to cuties lately, I have continued to drop in when I can and always give you all flowers.
hugs
Michelle

Congratulations - it sounds like things are coming together beautifully for you. Wow, such a big (dedicated) sewing room, your hubby won't be able to find you in there!!! A dream home near the water will be paradise. I wish you many happy years there.

It all sounds awesome, Remember when packing, fabric provides cushion! Also, it is easier to clear out stuff you are ready to get rid of and give away or have the garage sale NOW than to pack it, move it, unpack it and decide to get rid of it later any way! Take what you really love and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Dreams do come true.

We did almost this very thing a year ago and have not regreted any part of it. Praying that everythig will go as planned and in another year you will be encouraging the next one wanting to move. I think the key is "wanting" to move and on our terms. the only advice I'd give you now it that you don't have to have everything organized and in place immediately. take your time and enjoy!!

Congratulations, that sounds wonderful !
A tip about renovations, packing and moving. I had to move with for my husbands job multiple times. If I hadn't unpacked a box after 3 moves, I opened it (just to make sure it wasn't an heirloom) and then gave it away or tossed it. On the last house we built, I picked out the stain for the trim and hubby picked out the stain for the kitchen cabinets and I didn't know about it until they put in. At first I was upset, then we agreed if I was still noticing the slight difference in a month, he would redo the cabinets. After a week I couldn't tell the difference without a color chart and flashlight.. so don't sweat the small stuff.. jane

I've missed you Michelle and was wondering what was happening. I'm so thrilled for you and pray that all will fall into place. What a great sewing space for you too. And who doesn't love a new Kitchen. You go girl and I'll certainly pray for you and hubby. Love Chris

To me , moving has always been stressful and to others it has been exciting. My daughter went through a lot with her last home sale. Her home sold the day after it went on the market and the home they were buying, the people were building and needed more time so she had to put all their furniture in storage and live in a furnished apt and driving grandchildren to separate schools in their old neighborhood and all the nightmare, but it all worked out in the end. This is what you do for your dream home. Good luck on remodeling a kitchen. Hope you can do that before you move in. It would be easier. You must post photos so we can get excited for you!!! Kay

Oh, Michelle, I am so very happy for you, and pray it all comes together easily, the sale of yours and the transition to the new place. Sounds like a dream come true, for sure!! I have been in the same house for almost fifty years, so I can only imagine the "clutter" I could/would dispose of if I moved! But, thinking of all the work involved, it would be difficult to move!! LOL Congratulations to you and your hubby! You both deserve it!!
Hugs, Angel
