Some stitching was achieved last year, but the year was consumed by study, renovations and relocation! A most challenging year that I am happy to wave goodbye to....far too much stress and pressure has left us exhausted physically and emotionally. But as we unpack and begin to feel like we belong here, I feel sure that in six months we will know that it was all worth it. Once I settle with work and the unpacking is complete, it will feel more like home.
So here are some snaps of our big project for 2012....from the entry...
Looking through to the rear...
When the kitchen finally arrives in two weeks, I will dance with delight....here is what I am working with at present...a bit challenging, boy, will I appreciate that new kitchen!
A chance to set up my sewing machine...
And here I am( looking a tad pale!) with my DH on our new rear deck...
we have had our moments of late, but have found we are better just working together!

Your new home looks lovely. Renovating and moving can be so challenging, but like most difficult things, it is worth it in the end. I hope you are settled in soon, and comfortable with a new 'normal'.
Looks gorgeous! Love the clean white walls and timber floor -- such a serene, calm feel to them. Good luck with the kitchen. Hope it's all over soon!
Oh how I am loving those white walls Cardy! Your new home looks gorgeous, and soon all those renovation dramas will be well behind you ;) Heres to a productive happy and stitchy 2013!
You are almost there...just keep taking deep breaths and sigh when needed!
Your home is looking all ready for you to personalise & make gorgeous. You won't know yourself once the kitchen goes in. Nice to hear you will be back to sewing. Tracee xx
I know how you feel.
Your new home is looking beautiful already. Such a difference from the original pics you posted. Hang in there, not too long until the kitchen is in and it will be worth the wait.
It's coming together nicely! I showed hubby the pics of your "kitchen" and told him what happened and he said - well at least you have a stove LOL
You are almost there! And very nice picture of you and your husband. If you can remodel and build a home together, you have made it as a couple!
Beautiful home! Definitely worth the struggle. Cheers to the new kitchen.
Good luck with the kitchen, I can't imagine what it must be like doing that renovation. New carpet is to be installed tomorrow for me and then this house goes on the market! Hope to move in late feb. can't wait to be back living with my DH.
It took me two years to unpack the final two boxes, so dont rush it! Glad you have your sewing machine unpacked as stitching = destressing! Hope that the kitchen installation goes well for you...what colour did you pick...orange?!
Looking lovely Alison. We will be able to catch up sometime as we are an hour up the road. Only in holiday times though.who is making your kitchen
The new house looks like something out of a magazine. (with the exception of your kitchen and when that arrives anyone who has done a kitchen reno will be doing the happy dance along with you!)
2012 was certainly a busy year for you. Lets hope 2013 affords you time to do some of the things you really love to do .
Your house is an amazing achievement for 2012... I hope this next year is less stressful

you (and your house) are looking great! Almost there.......you will be whipping up quilts in that sewing room in no time....and cooking up a storm in your new kitchen.....hang in there..and remember to breathe! x
That is a huge accomplishment for 2012....your house is absolutely beautiful. You are so close to the finish line now. I am so happy for you and what lies ahead!! Wonderful pictures.

Your new home looks lovely and it will be even better when you get your kitchen! Once you settle in I'm sure you will think it was worth it all.
Cheers to a new year full of relaxing and no stress...and lots of stitching!

It will be worth it and your new home looks lovely. Love those wooden floors.
