Almost there...

It has been several days since my last post, here is a little update. Still in the moving process. The couple that bought the mobile home are not able to move it right now, so that buys us a little more time. Actually when I talked to them last night they talked like it may be at least a month. That makes me relax a little but we will be moved in to the house way before that time. Things are almost finished enough for us to move in. Just a little more drywall sanding, a few outlets, lots of clean up and then just hook up the electric and water!! Here are a few photos of some things that we have done over the past week.

This photo was taken from about midway of the stairs, this is the ceiling over my living room that is open. Mom bought us two ceiling fans for this room and my sewing room for Christmas.

This is the one in my sewing room. They match because they both can be seen at the same time. For some reason they look like they have a red tint to them in the photo but they don't.


Here are a couple of photos of the main bathroom. Everything is done in there except the trim and baseboards.
We finally got the tile down in there and I sealed the grout last night.
I don't have a clue why a couple of these photos came out small on here. Anyway, the table is moved in and I will probably add the extensions on it to make it larger now that I have more space. As you can see in the photo I still have drywall dust floating around and I need to dust the table really bad. LOL! I swear all of this drywall dust is giving me nightmares!
This is a section of our yard right now! It is a horrible mess! Richard had to dig a huge ditch for the electric wire and water lines. I'm hoping this will look a lot better by Spring! :)On to a few other things....I had planned on quilting 3 quilts for my 2 nephews and my niece for Christmas, but I just couldn't get to them. I had this one loaded on the frame before Christmas but I just needed to take a break from quilting and get some things done with the move. So I ended up just buying them gifts and I will get these quilted and to them as soon as I can. I took a couple of weeks off from quilting so now I need to get back to it because I have some customer quilts that need to be done. Today I quilted it and hopefully tomorrow I can start on some customer quilts....hopefully. :) I'll do the binding when I can and also get the other two quilted.

Here is my sewing table! I know it looks horrible right now but you should see my whole sewing room! I am using it for a dumping ground. Seems like with this move everything is getting piled in there until it can be put away. Okay, back to the table...you can see I finally got my Courthouse Step pieces out of the floor and I still have not sewed all of the sections together, I just haven't had time. Under that is a pile of curtains that need to be pressed and hung. I dread that, I just hate to iron curtains. Maybe I can talk mom into doing that, but then again I know she hates doing that too. There are also an ironing board, rolls of batting and some quilt tops under there. :( So as of right now, everything is a big dusty mess. Well, the downstairs is dusty the upstairs isn't, it is just messy! I have half in here and half of the stuff in the house...I can't find anything! It is starting to get on my nerves. Over the next few days we are going to try to get most of everything done except maybe the electric and water. I'm just not sure if we can get that done before Richard goes back to school. Actually, Richard and Andrew both start back to college on Monday, but they go to two different colleges. Anyway, I'm hoping to be moved in within a week or week and a half.

Off to do some laundry and finish supper! I'm frying chicken right now and need to make some mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and cornbread...

It is exciting to see so much progress happening on the house. I am glad that you are able to breath a little easier and feel less pressure on the move.
You are an awfully nice aunt to make quilts for the nieces and nephews!

Your new house is going to be such a beauty! Richard is not going to know what to do with himself when it i finished. I'll bet he starts another project. I know you will stay busy with your quilting.

You're almost there! It will all be worth it soon, even the drywall dust will be a distant memory soon. Enjoy the process as much as you can. Happy New Year.

Oh, so much to do! You're young though. :) Will you show us some pictures of the outside of the house? Those windows look wonderful.
