fannie & millie .: handcrafted goodness

Yes, I’ve been absent again. Between busy things in my life, and the tragedies in the news, I just haven’t felt much like prattling on. I sometimes just need to take a little time to absorb news and changes and other various events and plot turns.

Personally, I’ve been busiest with this project:

Oops! We inadvertently bought a new house. Well, as the house was built in 1926, it’s an old house, but new to us. That’s just the way we like it.

I stumbled across the online listing for this house, Chris and I drove by it the next day on our way home from the dentist, we called the listing agent while parked in front of the house, she got us in immediately (the owner was home and let us in), we looked around, drove home, called our realtor, and made an offer that night…whew! We hadn’t looked at any other houses, just happened to see this one and thought it would work beautifully for us. Since then, I’ve been busy with inspections, offers and counter offers, and looking at other houses just to be sure. It’s been a whirlwind. Now we just have to get ready to host Thanksgiving, paint the interior of the new house and move in December… oh, and celebrate the holidays. I swore I’d never move in the middle of December after we did it 4 years ago! What is that expression, “never say never?” ha!

I’m not really complaining (okay - maybe a little…); I’m truly thrilled and feel blessed.  All I can say is, the universe certainly works in mysterious (& fast!) ways.
