So Busy. So Tired. Still Moving

 OMGoodness! I am a rotten blogger. I have nothing to show for sewing. I have done ZERO sewing. About the ONLY crafting I am doing right now is some crochet. Mainly because it's portable. Our house has been up for sale. We have slowly been moving ourselves & it's a slow go. The last showing we had on our house was 02/21. Well they want it. So we are in the process of selling it. You know...all the comings & goings that go along with it. Home Inspection, appraisal, radon test. Termite inspection. HVAC cleaning, servicing...Electrician inspection. You name it, we have done it. Now we just wait for the closing date. Scheduled for 03/31. Cross your fingers, please say prayers. As of this post? Our house is nearly EMPTY. The only furniture in it are 2 recliners in the basement, the TV in the basement. The kitchen table, all the dishes & food etc....Master bedroom: bed only, night stands & lamps. We packed up all but 1 weeks worth of clothing. Master bathroom. Washer & Dryer. Lawn mower & the smoke house & the quail. That's it. Everything else is GONE. No sewing machines, no fabric...I'm going into withdrawals. The whole house echoes. Looks like a dance hall in our living room! It was never even that empty when we moved in.  It's going to be a LONG 2 weeks ya'll.

1st Post of 2021 !

 WOW !! Time flies so fast it's crazy!

I have absolutely zero to show anyone, including myself, of what I have been sewing. There has been NO sewing.  We are one week away from putting our house up for sale. In anticipation of that, I moved my sewing room into a smaller upstairs bedroom & turned the bigger downstairs (main floor) room back into a bedroom. 

We are about 3 weeks past the date I WANTED to be ready to put the house up for sale. But you know? Stuff happens. We have a lot of stuff. Downsizing is rough. Necessary, but rough. Our current house is 3100 square feet. The new house is 1578 square feet. Literally 50%. It's inundating to say the least. Why are we doing it? Many reasons. None of which I'll discuss on a public forum. Not yet anyway. 

Pictures are of the new house & 11 acres. House sits a 1/4 mile off the road, 9 acres cleared, 2 acres wooded. There are 2 metal buildings. One is 30x40 & the other is 30x30. These are fairly new. the 30x30 was originally going to be a mother-in-law suite. It is plumbed for water, but there is no water or power run to it. Yet. The larger of the 2 buildings has power but only on one short wall. We have a lot of work to do. Which is good. Prince Charming has run out of projects at home, something new is exciting.
