The Big Project ....

We've been keeping our "big project" under wraps but now that we have the keys to our new space, bits and pieces of our journey can be shared. Yesterday, we had the keys in hand just before lunch and within an hour, we had already set up our tools and started taking down the big wall in the third photos with the tall shelves still attached. That wall is now gone! And all the other pieces we needed to tackle are done too. Tucked away into the dumpster that will be carted away. Studs to come down, the electrical that we don't need has been disconnected and now we are ready for the contractors to come in and rebuild the inside. Our outdoor space is under review as well. Visiting other sites and lots of research has given us some great ideas. Now to make sure they fit within our budget. Funding was provided for our build and the items we need but my big job now is ensuring we don't spend it all before the project is complete. Exciting!

Do you have any big projects you're working on?

Tiny Progress.

My vintage cabinet is now ready for

items that will make it homey and filled.

A sweet banner of vintage fabrices,

a framed print of Angels and my teddy.

Between the two cozy chairs are framed

art and needlework to go up on the walls.

A close up of the top shelf. I did move the

banner up a bit after I took the photo so it

didn't hang down so very low. My teddy was

a gift from a child who came through the grief

program and she wanted me to have a soft,

tiny stuffy with a stitched heart with the idea

that I will always remember her, which I do

each time I look at it. Her heart warmed mine

greatly. She will and is doing well. I often

receive gifts and cards from kids. So loved!

That's it for the progress on creating my new

space at hospice for now. I'm not working

this week as it's Spring Break, then Easter,

and I am enjoying a week at home for now.

More updates once I'm back at work. I'm

almost done this space! Have a great week.
