All Done

Well here we are Tuesday evening and I've just a few moments ago unpacked the last of the boxes in my sewing room. I think I even amazed myself, getting all that done by today. I have to admit I'm absolutely pooped. As I told Bren this morning, not long after I got up this morning I found myself in tears for no apparent reason. I put it done to hormones and menopause, but I think exhaustion may have had something to do with it. Thank you to everyone who sent lovely comments, as you can imagine I didn't get much opportunity to check my email, so please accept this as my personal thanks.
So I suppose you're all waiting for photo's??
Let's start with the wonderful package that arrived on Friday while I was cleaning this place, ready to unpack. Anyway, my 4 season's quilt arrived Friday morning, and I couldn't work out who it was from, as it was addressed to the new address. Time to put the bucket and cloth down and rip this baby open.


My late night photography skills leave a lot to be desired, but isn't it gorgeous. My quilt came from Margaret our lovely hostess. Again thank you Margaret, it now has pride of place on the desk.
Ok so let's see what I can show you that doesn't have an empty box in the background. Bren are you looking?......

As you step into the front door the first thing that you'll probably see is the picture on the far wall, above the PC.

Not too clear, but it's Keepers of the flame, a gift I gave DH last Christmas.
Between the living room and the dining room is a small hallway that leads to the bathroom and the 2 bedrooms, and tucked into the corner before the entry to the hallway we have our CD and DVD cabinet with a few nick knacks and a photo of Miss Hollie. Sorry it's a bit glarey, must have been the flash bouncing off the glass.
Opposite the Cd unit is an old chair that I've draped a quilt over and added a couple of cushions for Tuppence and her friend to rest against.

Next to the chair is my little bookcase with my collection of Max Lucado and Tommy Tenny books and a photo of dd #2 Jenna and the love of her life, Max. Just above the bookcase is a small collection of Native American prints. The one on the right is a cross stitch I did for hubby 2 years ago for Christmas. Well that's it for tonight, the lighting is terrible and it's late, so time I toddled off to bed.

What a feeling it must be to be settled. It all went pretty quickly, no wonder the tears. I realized exhaustion has done that to me too lately.
