Hello there! I'm happy to tell you that we are mostly done with the moving; which means that today for the first time in two weeks I'm able to download some pictures and post again. We are breathing again after couple of very stressing weeks. Thank you so much for your kind and possitive comments!!
The moving was difficult as any other moving time but let me tell you that there were wonderful friends backing us up all the time. Helping with the packing, the moving of the furniture, and with the girls too. I have no words to tell you how blessed I felt of just picking up the phone and having my friends' love, and support all this time: amazing.
We're still unpacking, and the house starts to look yummy and cozy. The girls are getting back to the normal routines and meals. We ate take-out and sandwiches all this time, and we were so tired of it. This picture is the wall of my new kitchen. I painted with some fairy help one of the days before the moving truck came with the furniture. It makes the kitchen and dinning room look so happy and warm. The little buffet is from IKEA. We got it for all the plastic cups, plates and bowls that the girls use on the daily basis, that's the part they get to organize in the kitchen area...We also got an IKEA pantry that I will show you later.
The toys were out of reach all this time and I'm really happy to say that my girls entertained themselves with color pencils and paper most of the time. I can see how this time without toys and without [much] TV and video games has made their creativity grow as well as their willingness to explore new subjects in terms of their drawing and story telling.
I'll be working in the girls room this week, painting an accent wall and organizing all the toys, stuffed animal, and art sets. We're ordered bunk beds for fairies 1 and 2 but they will get here in a couple of weeks. There will be so much posting material for the rest of the summer; that without counting that tomorrow I have to pick up a parcel with more blocks for the ATW quilting bee. I'll keep you "'posted."
What a great BIG project for you to be working on.
I really love that orange wall in the kitchen. Super happy and warm - as you say.
