Sold! Now where?

Hi all…just ducking in to wish you all a blessed and peaceful new year filled with joy and creativity!

Made using Susan Brubaker Knapp's pattern in Quilting Arts Gifts 2010-2011 issue

This past week we became tenants…yes, we sold our house!  It was on the market for an unbelievable twelve days before we had an offer!  That good news has led to a bunch of difficulty, however, with the owner of the house on which we had already made an offer (the only reason we listed our house was to purchase the one we had just seen).  Let’s just say things are turbulent, so please send good wishes for the desired outcome!  We are renting back for the rest of this month, but at the moment we don’t know where we’ll be living in six weeks!!!! EEEK!Let’s just say things are tense…..

That, of course, has seriously stymied creativity.  That and the fact that I should be packing and cleaning out in preparation for our move!

The photo above, by the way, I’ll blog about more…. I had a pattern included in the Quilting Arts Gifts issue for this year (2010-2011), my fabric frames.  My favorite other pattern in the issue is my friend Susan Brubaker Knapp‘s beautiful mistletoe.  Since I didn’t have the embroidery floss or wool balls I had to improvise, but I love the way these turned out.  I made them as gifts for my Frayed Edges friends, so will blog about our Frayed Edges meeting soon and also the making of the mistletoe.

Now it’s time for dinner, so I’ll sign off and wish you all a Happy new year!

    Definite good wishes to you and will be glad to hear things are working out about the house. It’s pretty near miraculous to sell a house in that amount of time right now.

    Best wishes.

    That is a good start of the new year, but a bit “stressy” as well, I suppose. I wish you a lot of luck for the coming period. No time for being creative, but in a few weeks or months there will be peace again and a wonderful new place to live.

    Hi Sarah
    Congratulations! You are really lucky. I hope all the details work out. We did a similar kind of thing 11 years ago with a house we saw and loved and haven’t moved since. Just think of how organized your sewing materials will be once you unpack in a new home!

    Best wishes for a successful move! And an even more successful 2011!

    Take a breath, purge before you pack, pack, unpack, then purge some more. We just moved in November. It was crazy, but we lived through it. I promise you will as well.

    Remember, sometimes a plant needs to be repotted to bloom (This was told to me earlier this year).

    Thanks for your kind emails. When I complete my first “Sarah” project, I’ll send a post a pic on the groub message board.

    Hugs! You will get through this. I promise!

    […] breach of contract on the sale of his house (the one above). I first mentioned the mess in this post, and asked you to think “desired outcome” and “Hope.”  Read on to see […]
