We haven&#8217;t gotten our keys, but we are optimistic that it should be happening very soon.<\/p>\n<p>We have looked and asked around some contractors, and have decided on the style and feel that we are looking to create in our house. Nonetheless,\u00a0despite the ideas in our minds,\u00a0our\u00a0hands\u00a0are tied at the moment since\u00a0we can&#8217;t purchase any\u00a0big item furniture (no matter how much we love it) until we have\u00a0the exact measurements of our house.\u00a0But hey, I have got the pots, plates and cutleries ready for the many house parties I am\u00a0looking forward\u00a0to host!<\/p>\n<p>I am not idling away at the moment. I have the &#8216;Welcome&#8217; board ready to greet the guests the moment they step into the house. The original board was bought during a summer trip to Furano, Hokkaido last year, but alas, some of the dried flowers started to drop since then. Lots of effort went into repairing the board so that I can save it from a fate in the rubbish chute &#8211; like the butterflies, ladybirds, &#8216;Life is sweet&#8217;, &#8216;Home sweet home&#8217; etc. And I am definitely pleased with how it looks now. So happy and cheerful, exactly the way I want it to be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_2855.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-856\" alt=\"IMG_2855\" src=\"http:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_2855-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_2855-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_2855-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_2855-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I recently completed the bouquet of crochet flowers over the weekend after much effort in sewing the buttons on,\u00a0sticking\u00a0green tape\u00a0on the wires\u00a0etc., and they looked lovely in the shades of pink, red and white.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_3056.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-858\" alt=\"IMG_3056\" src=\"http:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_3056-1024x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_3056-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_3056-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cycliclapse.com\/speak\/missbakerholic\/files\/2016\/04\/IMG_3056-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to complete more projects and showcase them the next time round.
