obsessing...

for the past two years i have been collecting ideas for our {new} house and as the years have turned into months and the months are now turning into days, i have been obsessed with my {notebook}...i am fortunate enough to know this house and because i know it, i have photographed all it's nooks and crannies and have labeled each picture and planned the spaces, cabinets, and floor plans.

in other words, i've been living in my notebook so some time now...

it's been taking up a lot of my time.

and when i haven't been planning, organizing and cleaning, i've been working on quilts for each of the kids. masyn's is done and i am looking forward to do the others. i have a great idea for them! i can't wait to move and show you my idea!

summer is almost over, i can't believe it! hope your enjoying yours!

Progress...

look what cory has been up to!
it's wrapped!
i however would have preferred a pink floral myself with a nice contrasting gingham bow
but hey, what do i know about {wrapping}...



every time i post an update i confuse you all, so let me explain...
this is not OUR home, it's my in-laws home.
they are building this next door to the house they've lived in for 20+ years,
the house that we will be buying once this is done. {fingers crossed, prayers sent...}

we are hoping to move this summer. as you've seen i have started packing. michelle, the owner of my favorite local quilt shop, has been saving boxes for me. my goal has been to fill the boxes as she gives them to me. so far so good...

The {first} Box

in the last month, several people have asked when i'm going to start packing...
my response is always the same. "when inka (shawn's mom) starts packing, i'll start packing.
to make a long story short, that got back to her and i recieved a text message that read, "i've packed a box."

my reply read, "{keeping up}. one down, waayyy too many to go."
i'll wait for the next text and in the mean time, i'll keep collecting boxes...
