Day 4 - Contract signed

Our house was on the market for a grand total 4 days : Friday through Tuesday. 4 days!! Yikes we figured it would take a couple of weeks.  Now we have to move out by August 3rd??!!?? PANIC! So much to do, so little time. 

We had to scramble once again for the paperwork, inspections and moving arrangements. We are taking a short and well earned vacation and will be packing as soon as we return. Altogether it's not that bad: having found a short term lease, we will be camping in a small apartment while we shop for our new house. It'll be cramped but we are now able to wait out until the right house comes along and also to move out rapidly once we have found it. 

Looks like blogging will take the back seat for a little bit longer... Sorry !

In the mean time, as promised, here are some photos of our soon to be ex-house we took for the listing:

House for sale

Sorry for my sudden disappearance without explanations but something really big happened: we decided to sell our fixer upper townhouse so we could buy a house with a yard for Bug, a garage for the hubs and a nice studio for me.

The past few weeks have been all about getting the townhouse ready for its debuts on the market. After long days at work, we worked late nights and whole weekends to get everything gleaming. Finally it's a done, the "For Sale" sign will be outside by the weekend, listing photos are done. We are tired but happy.

I haven't sewn a stitch for fun in eons and I miss it but I really don't know when I'll be able to get any sewing done since we are trying to keep everything ready for showings. Hopefully the house will sell fast and we will be settling in a new place by the end of the summer... in the meantime I will show you some pictures of the house in its showroom state if you are interested.

Missed blogging too !!

What have you been up to?

Welcoming spring

Spring is here full force. So is work... lots and lots of work. I'm amazed I'm keeping up with my health goals, 25 lbs lost so far this year. And I'm amazed I still find time to sew and craft. Two finishes to report: a table runner and my easter bunny wall hanging. I even managed to decorate a little ...

Thanks Nike for the pretty fabrics :)

I love my little bunny wall hanging so much it now displayed on my mantel :)

Now if only Bug would stop taking off with the decorative eggs ... I find them EVERYWHERE
