Hi y’all, I did not send out and special msg the past little while and really haven’t been post much. We were swamped with the Fiona clean up that was messing with our fall chores and wow I can say that really took alot out of us. Before we knew it Christmas season was here.
I literally feel like I got the tree up, cards send, parcels sent, baking done and then it was done. I’m not really sure where all the time went, cause it went by fast. Yes we got some Christmas puzzling done too♡.
Now don’t laugh at me but I haven’t take the tree down yet…. it will go down in the next day or so and it will officially be all packed up for another year. I guess I just didn’t want it to end yet. Thanks to everyone that sent us a Christmas card, earlier in November I did send out a msg saying I lost my addresses and asking for you all to send me your address again. So I’d you didn’t get a card it’s because I didn’t get your address…. sorry:(
So we are now at the end of January, hokey dina and we have been working a bit on the house, eating from the pantry, and enjoying the warmer winter. We are forecasted to get 2 days of very cold temps this coming Friday and Saturday -20 – -23 with a windchill of -43 brrrr….
That is gonna be the coldest weather yet and it’s only gonna be a few days so it should hopefully not be so bad.
So, let see some home changes and renos and updates. Basically what we have been up too.
The old kitchen, it needed a little spruce up to get me through to the new kitchen install… so the cabinets got painted and the new “old” collectible glassware is up top making it look nice and old farmhouse quaint.
So with the quick kitchen fresh up we go to the new addition changes.
We took off the old shingles from what was the back of the house and we leveled out the walls. Drywall went up and the corner of the house by the door we decided to leave it the way is was a little reminder of what was there.
After that mess was cleaned up…. we found some awesome flooring for the addition. It’s gonna be different from the rest of the main floor just because it is the new addition that has a canning pantry, laundry, powder room and entry and sink clean up area. We got an amazing deal in the flooring and down it went…. and then got the paint on the walls. It all looks awesome
So now the next project is the pantry wall. Rusty has sat down many nights coffee in kne hand and pencil in the other designing what the pantry wall will look like. The purpose of it is store all my canned jars in the top portion and the bottom portion will house my big food grade buckets of flour, sugar, grains etc. We are still trying to figure out the colour of the stain for the wood that will make up the pantry wall unit.
Oh yes and we can’t forget the last of the plumbing that had to go in…. the poop shoot is in place♡
So I guess that is a good update on what we have been up too the last couple months since the last post and there will be lots more to come. I hope that you enjoyed the update and the photos. I will try not to take as long to get the next post up…
Love you all and stick close to the King of Kings…. or seek Him out as it won’t be long before we go up♡
