| Our beautiful front yard... |
door
squeeks
Hello? Echo
Anybody still here?
Hellooooooo?
I don’t really know where to start, other than, Hello. I’ll catch you up by saying we have (finally)
moved successfully, and have been living in our own home for about 6 weeks or
so. My goodness was this an adventure,
in the truest sense of the word. I will
be exceptionally happy if I never go
through buying a house again. It’s a lot of work. And at this point, it was all completely
worth it.

| my favorite tree...ever. It's soooo pretty! |
Our house
is beautiful – if a little empty. We are
still working at tracking down some furniture for our “Library” and we are in desperate need of area rugs what with entire house being floored in 12”x12” white
tile! It’s cold and somewhat sterile at
the moment. Although slowly and surely it
is becoming a true (gigantic) home for the two of us.
Jon has been busy pretty much every single weekend with yard work. Fortunately, for him, my dad lives two doors
down, and has been able to walk him through the process quite well. That, and he’s been able to lend Jon all the
tools we don’t have quite yet. Like a
lawnmower and pruning shears – just to name a couple.
And
fortunately for me, my mom is also two doors down – because you know, they’re married – and she has been able to give
me a hand unpacking boxes and getting various rooms set up. I have oddly not gotten around to setting up
my sewing studio, which would be really odd, if I weren’t doing a metric crap-ton of knitting currently. Which – you like my segue here? – brings us
to one of the main reasons for this
welcome-back post.
My
giveaway. Saying “I’m sorry” doesn’t
really express my feelings. I feel
horrible about walking away from (yet another) unfinished project. That is not at all how I wanted that idea to end. And, because I am no longer allowing myself
to “burn bridges” I have returned to make it right. For you.
But also for myself.
Because acomplishing things is important to me in a way it never has
been. And I promised myself when I
started this blog that I would not just abruptly leave it hanging.
So, here I
am. Wanna get some free stuff?? Do you?
Come on! Of course you do! We all do.
I do! So, here is how
this is going to work. I am going to
randomly pick a number between one and twenty-one (the number of comments on
the giveaway post). There is absolutely NO
scientific method to the picking of this number, I’m just picking. So, with without further ado:
drum
roll, please
Aaaaaand, the winner is –
Contestant Number Four. That’s right folks! Number 4.
Pickle, is our winner!
Come on up and claim your prize!
You can
refer back to the original post to see all the amazing stuff you have
won. It’s honestly pretty exciting, if I
do say so myself. I hope all of my
darling readers aren’t so frustrated with me that you’ve walked away to never
ever return. That would make me very
sad. And I accept it if you have. Because sometimes that’s just life. We clean up the messes left behind. And, on the good days, we give awesome yarn
to a complete (lovely) stranger.
I am going
to contact you, Pickle. I am also going
to see if Jamie over at Scissors and Steam – who also just came back to her
blog) will put a blurb in a post to help let Pickle know. When I can get ahold of you, I will be sending
you an email with all the pertinent info.
Once again, contratulations my dear!
Happy happy Friday!

Oh, p.s.
I will honestly be back...very soon. I have two+ months of stuff to talk about, people! You really didn't expect me to stay quiet forever did you?!? Ha!
