Soooo, it’s been quite awhile since my last post. Life got in the way and we were dealing with some issues and unfortunately, I had to put creativity on the back burner. But I’m back! And craftier than ever. I’ve been getting some inspiration from various sources, but the biggest being the house that we are in process of purchasing. This house in an amazing 1920’s craftsman with all the original detail and charm maintained.
The thought of crafting in the dining room with the hardwood trim and built in china cabinet and basement space (future crafting area) makes me squeal with excitement….not to mention makes me motivated to turn out some creative genius. Owning our own home is a big step for Jason and I, and we couldn’t be more excited. This house has seemed meant to be ever since the beginning. We had been looking for homes for 6+ months when we looked at this one. There wasn’t a huge bidding war like we had seen on every other house because they accepted our early offer and didn’t wait for other bids to come in to entice competition. The charm is fully intact, it has a full basement and garage for Jason. We casually mentioned to our realtor that we would LOVE to have any or all of the antique furniture/knick knacks that were still being housed in the basement (that had belonged to the previous owners) and BAM! – our wish was granted. We accidentally met one of the previous owner’s sons and had a great conversation with him regarding the warmth and love the home possessed.
Honestly, everything seems to have gone our way with this house so far and we couldn’t be happier. The fact that it’s felt like such a smooth, easy process has made it all the better.
BUT, I digress. I guarantee TONS of good craftiness to share in the near future.
I don’t have any pictures today but I’m in the middle of a new crobot project, starting back up on the afghan, and also making my sister some gifts for her upcoming baby shower.
More to come very soon!
Crafts and crossbones my little pirates.
