blueprints and wood planks...

i've been up to

my eyeballs

which reminds...

 

 

...me

 i need to make

an appointment

for new glasses

but that's off topic

with blueprints

kitchen plans

wood planks

paint chips

laminate samples

shower stalls

toilets and sinks

even window details

i'd forgotten just how

time consuming

building a house can be

finding the perfect balance

of the hot new trends

with the already existing

furniture

as well as

anticipating potential

resale value

add an additional

 generation

 to the mix

and the time grows

exponentially

but then

 so do the rewards

evidenced

 by this picture

perfectly timed

by our higher power

 to be taken

on grandparent's day

 

 

the multigenerational trio

standing together

for the first time

in their new home

i would be

remiss if not mentioning

that we have been told

on numerous occasions

that both my mother and sarah

would likely not make

it through the night

due to brain injuries,

heart conditions

severe respiratory distress

 

 

and look at them now

plotting mischief

behind two by fours

feeling very grateful

tonight

on a mission...

simply the most

perfect title

for this journey...

 

 

we are on

it is a mission indeed

 it's humbling

 yet so gratifying

 to see our story

 in full color and print

especially

 in the prestigious

better homes & gardens

quilt sampler

 definitely a
dream come true

and such a wonderful

opportunity to

spread the love

as i'm quoted

in the closing paragraph

our business has never been

 about selling fabric

ever

it's about human connections

making a difference

 to others

for others

and with others

it's about being a

gathering place

for creative souls

to share

whether that be

pain and sorrow

or happiness

and triumph

or simply celebrating

down syndrome

grateful beyond words
