Homeless and Happy

So we are officially homeless now.  Our old home closed on Monday and the new home closes on Friday.  Being in limbo is strange.  But it does give me some time to crochet... If only I could remember what box the yarn was in.

Moving Soon!

9 days until we no longer own our first home.  The pressure is on!  I will be taking a little break from blogging/crochet until we get into the new house.  I am kinda forced to since my yarn is all packed away.  :( 
My WIP baby blanket will have to be finished in May as well as my WIP daffodil wreath. 
I am excited for the time ahead and hope the move is not too stressful.  Once we get into the new home I will have a craft room all to myself.... well that is my plan but the hubby has been talking about a joint craft/office space.  We will see.

 

So bye bye for a couple weeks.  If you are looking for something to read here are a few of my favorite blogs:

 

You should check out Natasja of Crochettime who has been Yarnbombing recently.

 

Lucy of Attic 24 is so inspiring with all her hooky fun.

 

Here is a blog I am newly following, The Green Dragon Fly. I love Janette's pictures.

 

Dinkidots is great for all sorts of crafty ideas.

 

All About Ami is super fun to see all of Stephanie's little creations, including a new baby girl!

 

 

 

Crochet Baby Blanket

Hello all, so sorry to keep you waiting....

 

I am still working on finishing the baby blanket edging.  I am trying to find the perfect edging for this blanket.  Selling the house, getting started on removing clutter from the house, joining and learning all about Pintrest and a 1000 piece puzzle have all slowed my progress down on finishing this blanket. 

Thankfully, my friend is due in May. 

I still have some time to get the blanket done.  :)

Big House Changes

So we have bought a house (Jan 29), sold our house ( Feb 15) and will be moving (Apr 22) all in 3 months..  Yipee! 
 

The new house!

 

My husband and I were quite surprised that the house we really wanted in the location we really wanted was out there.  It was really exciting purchasing the house. 

 

Then we realized the real work began when we had to get our house sold.  It was a lot of de-cluttering and organizing, painting (not done by us) and carpet installing (also not done by us) and cleaning (some done by us, some hired out).  All done in 1week and 2 days.  We were on the market with an open house.  We ended up having a multiple bidding situation the night of the open house.  I thought that only happened on TV... but there we were living it.  4 offers to choose from... we were conditionally sold that night.  Very exciting! 

Our cat, Pepper, did really well visiting grandma's house (we got her out of the way for painting,  the open house and for the inspection).  And she seems to not mind the car one bit. 

Now we are looking forward to the move.
Ahhh... my dreams of a beautiful yarn retreat are coming true. :)
