....it's been a hectic couple of weeks. The house move was on ... then off .... then back on .... then off again. We finally found out at five to five on the Thursday evening that we could move on the Friday. Well, we could - as long as we could find a delivery company before five o'clock that evening - we couldn't! (we'd already almost lost one deposit when the date got changed last time - so we weren't going to book one until we heard).
So it was a bit of a mixed evening of emotional ups and downs as we frantically tried all possible solutions. Fuelled on by alcohol and downright belligerence we managed to cajole, bribe and bully our friends and family to lend a hand and bring whatever vehicles they could lay their hands on.
We had a convoy....
So now we're finally in. There's lots to do, but isn't there always! The dogs love their new bigger garden and I wake up to this view outside my bedroom window every morning...
One of the spare rooms is in the process of being converted into my sewing room. Hurrah - no more sewing on the kitchen table and having to clear up for dinner. A couple of trips to Ikea for shelves and I should be back, up and running.
In the meantime it's good to be back as part of
Handmade Monday and I've re-opened my
Folksy shop with some of the bags I finished before the move.
Gosh you have had a move and a half !!!! Glad to hear that everything went well in the end.
ReplyDeleteAt least your reward for all the hassle will be your very own sewing room (yeah!!!) which comes with lovely views.
Good luck in your new home xx
Blimey! That is an unenviable move! Glad to hear you've made it and that you'll have a sewing room :-) Simmi x
ReplyDeletePhew! At last you can settle in. I envy you the lovely views (looks lovely) but not the whole hassle of moving! The bags look lovely x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing view to wake up to, and it'll be great to have your own sewing room. Moving house is such a stressful and emotional thing, but it looks like you've moved into a fabulous place. I also love the patterned bags you've made.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute bags! I really like the pink bag!

Moving can be so stressful (we had our stuff packed in the van before things got sorted once!) - you are making me wonder why I'm heading along that path again.
ReplyDeleteBut seeing the lovely view from your windows reminds me of the upside :)
Glad to hear your bag making is just about up and running again.
A very stressful time but with that lovely view, well worth it. Lovely to be able to have yuor own special work room too. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. It must be so lovely to finally be moved in. And your own sewing room too :-)
ReplyDeleteHehe :) sorry, i know it was probably a nightmare for you but your story really made me laugh! Especially with the picture of the 'convoy'! Moving is so stressful isn't it, i'm happy to hear that you're into your lovely new home now and what a view out of the window, wow!
ReplyDeleteYour bags look gorgeous, another hit i'm sure :) x
Goodness me what a stressful few days. Well done to the convoy tho! And wow to your new view.
ReplyDeleteLove your adorable bags! Looking forward to following your progress as you settle into your new digs :)
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to hear about your moving nightmares. Glad you are in now however. Your bags look great all hanging on the line :)
