Yes, I know a little quiet… on the blog. But I’m going to change that and catch you up…
No Chatter
I don’t know how some bloggers find anything to say… when in a waiting game. I can’t seem to think of anything worth talking about outside of the ‘major’ thing. Especially since it seems to affect every single aspect… can’t talk about sewing because its all boxed up, can’t share about what’s on the longarm, again because it’s in pieces, can’t share about life in general because it is all on hold!!! Can’t really share what is going on in the store, because most has been boxed or nearly impossible to get to. But if you order… I’ll make it happen!
Invitation
Also, didn’t want to say too much or project our ambitions. Too often, the Universe takes the opportunity to get involved. You know Murphys Law! It has been a long 30 days waiting to close! We sat in the middle of a deal that had at least 3 moving parts, maybe more.
Where we are
So to catch you up to where we sit now. Both houses have closed. The one we are leaving has new owners! They are excited to live here. Which is just what we wanted. It has been a comfortable house, and large enough to accommodate both of our studios and a place for the dog(s).
Where we’re going
A few hours later, we closed on the new place. The Owner is looking forward to a place with nearly the same amount of land, but a smaller house. We, on the other hand, are looking forward to more space inside and especially more space outside!!
When
Moving trucks arrive on Monday. Yes, trucks! The road will not accommodate a big semi and trailer, so we will make the move over 2 days. The new place is close; about 1/2 hour in a car, a bit more in a truck or two.
and Next
There are some changes we are going to make inside. A couple of wall modifications, (doorways being closed/added), and new flooring on the main and upper level as well as paint. Lots of paint!!! The original owner was also a quilter.
The difficult parts have been accomplished. Deciding on the colors, types, and styles. Next living through implementation!!! Needless to say, the above picture shows why we need to paint, there are other rooms that also depict a reason to paint too.
How do you not talk about the elephant in the room?

Looks like you have some wonderful new neighbors. I’d like to meet all of them, but the smallest are the cutest. I’m glad you are going to try to tame, as well as get them spayed/neutered. My mother did that and then would try to find good homes for them. Of course several people her permanent housemates. So many funny stories during the process of taming cats. I hope you find plenty of joy along the way too!
So glad to hear from you!!! The 3 youngest/smallest are the friendliest and will be kept. The other 4 may have to be given up. We really don’t even need 3. I have to say, the previous owner should have taken all of them with her or made arrangements for us to care for them. Come for a visit and meet some.
