Progress!

Our new home adventure took a gigantic step forward on Monday, when it was finally moved onto our lot. Yay! Tad drove out to see it Wednesday afternoon, and this is what he found...
Yeah, I know the resolution isn't great, but still, it's very nice to see this in place. It's all felt like a dream until now, because I've only ever seen the house on the sales lot. I look at this and it makes me happy--and sad. Happy about the house, sad because of all the yard work that is ahead of us, and I HATE yardwork. *Sigh* We are still on track for a mid-June closing date. :)

In other news, lest anyone think that I've ceased to be the Crafty Genius, in the last month or so I've made 5 baby crib sheets for my 2 dear sisters who are expecting babies this summer, remade my June wreath from last summer (pix to follow, since I'm still learning how to use my new camera), sewed Evie's birthday present, which was a pink monkey polar fleece bathrobe and slippers (which she had to show me the last time I skyped with her--she's tickled with them), painted a cute birdhouse to put in my new craft room (again,  pix to follow later) and I'm sure there are other crafty things I've been working on. I've also done a fair bit of decluttering in preparation for moving. I still have a few things that need to be done before I can have the craft room packed up to move, and other projects that are long-term enough to be able to work on after I move. One thing I do know--the next month and a half are going to be crazy hectic.
