It sold in three days and we are buying a 1,953 sq. ft. more contemporary home. I will have TWO rooms dedicated to quilting--can't wait!!! Hope you have many happy years in your new modern home!

I had moved 20 years ago, after living in another house for 17 years, and moving everything at that time. I had several garage/pre-moving sales, cleaned out a lot, sold quite a bit, gave a lot away.<br /> <br />I am so happy with my new place, and am finally getting it all organized. I don't miss what I no longer have. <br /> <br />Like me, you must know the time is now to move. You will love your new place and it will feel just like home in no time at all. It looks beautiful, and you will make it feel cozy.<br /><br />Good luck with your sale and move!sunflowermorninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15374302696815889375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-7148383013270821862014-09-02T05:07:15.819-05:002014-09-02T05:07:15.819-05:00This was really inspiring for me, lived now for 25...This was really inspiring for me, lived now for 25 years in the same house and will have to move in about 15+ years, because my old, and so much loves home will become to dangerous for me with all its steep stairs.<br />Aleady got the promise that the new house will be big enough to be a host for all of his&my stuff.

The best moving advice I have ever had, pull out your bottom sheet and fold it over your bedding into a parcel, put it in your car. As soon as your bed is in its new bedroom, make your bed. Then whenever you collapse, your bed is ready and waiting. You need it! lolsFeatheronawire Sally Bramaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724148087746233712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-22394357799597483002014-09-01T23:01:06.390-05:002014-09-01T23:01:06.390-05:00 The best of luck with your move, certainly wish I...
