Never Stop Praying and Asking For Your Dreams To Come True

Have you ever had a rabbit under the hat that you were wearing . . . 
jumping around on your head for 6 weeks trying to get out.
Well, that is how I have been feeling lately.
i've been holding on to my hat and holding on, 
but all the time wanting to release him.

WELL HERE GOES . . .

I have been wanting to make this post for so long now . . .

but I didn't want to jump the gun . . .

or get ahead of the Lord.

SOLD . . .pulling up the sign.
 

"Welcome To Our Little 1905 Bungalow"  

I have been praying for a little house in the country.

A place where I had room for a garden . . .and maybe a larger studio.

  A place where Steve would have a bigger shop when he retires.

  Well, never give up on your prayers and your dreams, 

because the Lord answers them in His perfect timing,

not in our instant gratification kind of timing.

 These are all photos of the house and property the way it looks today. 
Yesterday . . . we signed the final papers.
and today we have the keys! 

My blog will be filled with all of our make-over projects.  

We will be working on a tight budget . . .

but I believe that you can do great things on small budgets.  

I'm a strong believer in the power of style and elbow grease 

and I'm going to have a ball proving my point :)

So this is our dream . . . stay tuned and watch it blossom :) 

 

The Kitchen

The living and dining room

The mud room / laundry room

A bedroom

Fireplace . . . Butchy is going to love that window :)

The well house.  

We have never lived anywhere where we didn't have city water.

There is going to be a lot of changes and things for us to learn.
Notice the grape vines and behind them are two fruit trees.  
We are not sure want they are, time will tell.
Oh, we are in for many surprises and adventures. 

Well, you can see that we have our work cut out for us . . .

I am so ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work :)

You may have noticed that there were no photos of the bathroom.  

That's because all of the inside photos were taken for the real estate listing.  

They didn't want you to see the bathroom,

 because it might have kept you from looking at the house :) 

We live for DIY . . . 

so the bathroom will be the first thing 

that we plunge(a little play on words) into.  

There will be lots of before and after photos.

  

Please say a little prayer that our poor old backs will hold out :)

God bless you all . . .

and Keep smiling.

 My goodness, can you tell how excited I am!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
