Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve been here to chat at you, but we’ve been busy beyond busy.

We’ve been doing crazy things such as checking the ground for valuables.

We’ve been digging a hole, or two, for our new basement.

Oh, I guess I forgot to tell you, we signed our life away tons of important papers which means we are the proud new owners of this wonderful little piece of land:

We don’t know when all the papers will be in order or when we’ll have our building permit, but as soon as we do, we’re building our new house right here on this spot.

I forgot to mention that those top secret sewn goodies from my last post were for two swaps I’ve been collecting for since before Christmas. One package came for me last week with these amazing socks in it!! Fluffy Knitter Deb knit these for me and I love them!! I thought they would be the best good luck charm to wear on our first day on our new lot. I’ll have some more detailed pictures soon, but for now you know just a little bit of what has been keeping me away from the computer these past two weeks.

Oh and thanks, Deb these socks are a perfect fit!!!

It was an incredibly busy around here last week. There was a lot of searching for some of this

to call our own. I do think we might have gotten lucky. More to tell, hopefully, soon.
Between blasting migraines and kids who need to eat 24/7, I’ve been knitting as much as possible on my secret of the stole 2, but it doesn’t seem to grow much.

I’m one clue behind and I’m afraid I need a bit of a time warp to catch up. Maybe this week will bring some quality knitting time.
I have also been doing a few other creative things lately that are top secret, but here is a sneak peek.

I do miss my sewing machine and I’m counting the days until I have a bit more room to spread myself out to sew. Oh the thought of sewing and not immediately cleaning up is worth all the stress in the world!!

I don’t have much to show this week but I’ve got to get back to dinner. I’ll try to do better next time. Toodles!
