New adventure

Hello Friends!

You will not be seeing much from me for the next several months.  An apartment came open for my mom and she is moving in 2 weeks.  That also means I am buying a house.  Eeeek!  I am super excited for my mom.  It's everything she wants and needs.  I will be excited for me once she is settled.  My father is still in the nursing home under Hospice care.  Mom will be moving to the same town he is in and will be able to visit him more often.  She wants her independence and to take care of less stuff.  A house is a lot to take care of alone.  Luckily, my son and sister and brother in law will be helping me.

Since she is moving so soon, I am going to the bank on Monday to do the paperwork to buy the house.  Hopefully we can do a very short sale.  I have never bought a house before so I have a lot to learn.

Writing my letter to the landlord and telling the neighbors was awful.  I have been at my current place for 9 years.  My son basically grew up there.  It is going to be hard to move, but I know I will be moving on to bigger and better things.  It is time.

As far as the sewing and quilting goes, I have a bunch of things to finish for a baby shower May 20.  Luckily, this Friday is late night sew night at my quilt store.  I am going to try to get as much done as possible.  I am making party favors and a diaper bag.  The quilt is already made. :)  In the new house, I will have a dedicated sewing room.  I am so excited for that!

I will occasionally check in with pictures of my progress on the house.  It's over 100 years old and needs a lot of work.  My father had remodeled the whole house but that was 30 years ago.  I need new floors, paint, windows and siding.  I also want to look at a new heating and cooling system.  I know $$$$, but it needs it.

Thank you all for your support and stopping by to read my blog.  I am reinventing myself and possibly this site and my business.  Stay tuned.

Blessings!
Amy
