Seriously, could you please go slower?

I'm not being sarcastic here.  My husband and I are in the process of building a house, and they are building this house super quick!  I mean, they have regularly had five crews on our house the whole time.  Four weeks ago, they had just started digging the hole for the foundation.  Now?  It's all built, with siding, shutters, drywall and all (the picture to the right shows how it looked last week pre-drywall - that was only three weeks after they broke ground!).

What's the problem, you ask?  Well - we haven't quite sold our condo yet.  By yet, I mean not even close to selling.  So now, we're facing the fact that we'll be moving into our new house, and still having to pay for our condo.  Which stinks.  But it could be so much worse, right? 

I'm not really complaining.  I'm super excited to be getting a house.  And each night when I wake up in the middle of the night (which I seem to be doing a lot lately), you know what I think about?  My brand new sewing room.  That's right - I get to have a dedicated space just for me and my sewing!!!

It's not large - in fact it's quite small (see diagram to the left - it's blurry but the measurements say 10'0" x 10'11").  But it's all mine to decorate how I want, and design and dream of great new projects!  Yay.  And I got brand new inspiration yesterday while I was blog reading - take a look at Pam's amazing closet - I'm in love!!  I hadn't even thought of putting all my shelves in the closet!!!  That would free up so much space.  What a great idea!  I think I've visited the Ikea website about a million times dreaming of all the organizing stuff I'm going to buy!

Anyway, I've never really have a room to use just for one purpose, and it's been years since I've had enough room to actually store all my stuff - we currently have a storage space that holds all my fabrics (I hope I can still salvage some) and my patterns.  It's going to be like Christmas unpacking all my dearly missed sewing items!

What a pretty house -- I can't believe how fast it's going up!
