Back in South Carolina

We are all settled in our new home.  My favorite room in the house is the kitchen.  It's gets the best light.

Kitchen

The boys are very happy to be back and excited to start school (even if they say they're not, I know they are)! :)

One of the first things I did was get my stitching organized.  There is an alcove in our bedroom that was the perfect nook for it...

Oreo likes the new house too.  She loves to look out all the windows.

Speaking of stitching, I started something new (again).  Shepherd's Bush "Eve's Garden."  I love the bright and cheery colors in this design.

Eve's Garden as of 8/18/12

The linen is so pretty too and It's been fun to work on a larger count for a change.  :)
