Sounds like you have had a difficult time of it.<br />Have you considered you are grieving?<br />When a person is soooo into feathering her nest it stands to reason you would be in grief after losing your "nest". It's not fair for you to expect yourself to just adjust so quickly. It takes time. If these pictures are an example of you losing your mojo, I'd like to lose my mojo. I don't have any mojo to lose so you haven't lost anything. You are in a period of adjustment. Please accept my electronic hug. Remember, we, who read your blog, are your real neighbors and we will follow you wherever you go. Just give us a call and we'll be there. Love you.<br />Cynthia Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565046424303858279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213512704251697206.post-76943873317051128552013-10-03T09:02:07.189-04:002013-10-03T09:02:07.189-04:00Hi Kristen:

I had just stumbled upon your post of centerpieces and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to wander about your blog a bit more.<br /><br />All of that moving certainly takes it's toll. I haven't moved in many a year and sometimes I can't find the energies to pull something fresh and creative together. I was amazed to read that you were having somewhat of a creative block. I think it's safe to say that it's over as your arrangements in your new rental are outstanding. As I looked at them, I was surprised to read that you had just moved in August. It so looks like a cherished home. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing all of your future creativity!<br /><br />- The TablescaperThe Tablescaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046015889036397874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213512704251697206.post-81765002443296095192013-09-30T20:17:17.462-04:002013-09-30T20:17:17.462-04:00Wish you were still here in Raleigh!

The waiting to have a home of your own to let you imagination and creativity run wild is one of the hardest parts.

Ours was job related too, I had to sell my dream home and felt life would never be the same. Fortunately, we were able to find another home this past move that I'm *almost* as happy with:) It's definitely taught me many things, mostly that it's not the home you have but the people inside that truly make it a home. But still, it is very hard, both physically and emotionally. Hopefully things will settle down for you and your precious family. It's a great idea to rent in an unfamiliar area so you can take your time and decide which neighborhood is right for you. Wishing you the best of luck in this difficult transition. Glad to see you back, I've missed your posts!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925481389710937410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213512704251697206.post-12112823810202119242013-09-25T11:43:10.091-04:002013-09-25T11:43:10.091-04:00It is so nice to have you back!

We moved two years ago from one state to another and downsized at the same time. We had been in our old house 21 years so I know how tough that was. I'm sure it is hard to make a rental feel like home, especially when you know you will probably be leaving it in a year, but I'm sure those little familiar touches you add can and will make you and the family feel better. Your previous home pictured was beautiful and you did such a great job on it, but I know you will do the same wherever you live!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213512704251697206.post-44516837467100353692013-09-25T09:05:41.181-04:002013-09-25T09:05:41.181-04:00I have missed your creativity but am so glad that ...I have missed your creativity but am so glad that your priorities are in order!
