In other news….
Today was moving day! Even though our state is in lock down, the removalists were still able to come and move all the big items. There are still some odds and ends at the old house, but most of it is here now….. it is so lovely to be home!
These are so cute, Joy! I hope your lockdown doesn’t last long!
Yay1 So glad you’re mostly moved and now you can start settling in and making it seem like home again. Hope this is the last move for you for awhile!!
Lovely block… it will be so great in your own home and can settle down at your own pace….
