It has send us on a whirlwind trip first to find a new place to rent and when that wasn’t working out to well we started looking at places to buy for our own. We put an offer in on a cute two bedroom condo yesterday and are praying that they will accept it! It’s almost twice the size of our current house and has a hot tub just yards away and is within walking distance to the LQS and coffee shop. I could definitely get used to it!
In the mean time, I haven’t felt much like pulling out my sewing machine and a project since every evening it has to be put back away in case they want to show the house.
I have gotten one small project done. It’s a baby blanket for my sister in law who is due in just a few weeks.
I debated long and hard about the label. The baby doesn’t have a name yet, and even the last name is up in the air since she isn’t married to the dad, so in the end I didn’t put one on at all. Maybe I can add it later. Sigh…the never ending label dilemma.
I’ve decided to try and get back into sewing a bit and join the Friday Night Sew In tonight. I think it is safe to pull out my sewing machine and work on a small project. Someone is coming to look at the house at 10am tomorrow morning so I can’t get too involved in anything big. Here’s the project I’m planning to work on. I’ve had this little kit for exactly a year now and think it’s time to get started on it.
Life does get exasperating sometimes, doesn't it? Things surely will level out soon so you can have both time and space to get back to quilting. Hang in there! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly got a good reason to not be sewing much. I hated putting my stuff away when we were trying to sell our old house. And I hope to not have to sell this house until I'm literally too old to get up the stairs to my sewing room and bedroom! Good luck getting the condo!
ReplyDeleteThe baby quilt is really cute and I'm sure, boy or girl, the little one will treasure it because of the love you put in.
It's hard to get motivated to do sewing work when you always have to put the whole thing away, never mind moving on the brain too!!
ReplyDeleteI do love that little baby quilt you put together...too cute!!
Happy Quilting!!
I hope your offer is accepted. The baby quilt is really cute (I love the fabric). The Bunch o' Pumpkins looks like a fun project. Good luck.

I have that bunch of pumpkins hanging on my wall right now. It was fun to do./
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the condo sounds like a great location! It is so hard to have to move, even worse when you weren't planning gto.
The baby quilt is very cute and that rattle is perfect.
