New home

Tonight marks a beginning for us. The beginning of living in Texas. Sure we've been here a few weeks now but up until tonight we have lived with my family and as a result we both felt like this was maybe just a vacation. Nope, it's not, it's real life! 

I love paint. Paint can turn ugly, plain, boring rooms into a place that makes me happy just to be in. We picked green for our bedroom because supposedly green is the color that brings happiness. 

This house still needs a lot of work but that is part of the reason we wanted it. Distraction, something to work on, keep our minds busy, and it doesn't hurt that I can let my creativity run wild. "Homes are for free expressions, not good impressions". 

I had my first ever sewing (machine) lesson today and started some cafe curtains for my kitchen. I would have finished them but I didn't measure my window... Duh. ⬇

Anyway, I'm very excited to hang them up when I'm done! I've always wanted to learn how to sew and I'm eager to make lots of things already! Now, what box is my sewing machine packed in??
