Just a little something to take your mind off your post Christmas let-down.

Next we'll get worked up for New Year's Eve.

Hi!
I found your blog through Sandra at Canyon Wren Cottage. I just spent some time going though older posts of your looking at the beautiful job you are doing turning that church into a home. Just beautiful! I have always wanted to do that with a church, old school house or old train depot.

In answer to your question about a library dining room. I am all for it. How cozy that would be. You would be able to use your table to lay larger books on to flip through. Just perfect! I say go for it!

p.s. I have two blogs. One is about the mosaic art that I do called www.lavenderhillstudio.blogspot.com the other is about my home and garden at www.thecomfortsofhome.blogspot.com

I am so glad that you became a follower of my blog! Now I have discovered yours as well! Your church/home is amazing. I've always wanted to try something like that. It looks like you've got a great project and treasure on your hands! Thanks for sharing it with us. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Your tree is lovely. Happy New Year too!

This is a huge project - your interest in St. Marys keeps me energized and I love hearing from you

The Project

I saved the church and the church saved me. This wonderful renovation project began in August '06 with an attempted act of terrorism. I was to return to So. California from Wisconsin on the day that crazed people with explosives in their shampoo bottles were busted in London and the whole world stood still. I took the option of re-booking my flight a week later and set out to find an interesting place to make my new home. I drove to the country to see a lovely Victorian farmhouse and passed an old church with a simple "For Sale" sign - and the rest is history. Actually, it wasn't all that simple. My offer was accepted in September the same week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone insisted I cancel the offer....I was too sick - there was too much to do - the job was too big - I had to stay in California - blahblahblah. I told them it would give me something else to think about - a reason to get up every morning - it would save my life.

And it did.
