New Year, New Plans

Don't be surprised if you see an abundance of house themed projects in my pattern shop and on my Facebook page this year. There will be houses on quilts, houses on mug rugs, and projects for things to use inside our new house.

I definitely have houses on my mind. There's a reason for that. My daughter is building a new house for the two of us this year. We are so excited! For well over a year, we've been working together to come up with a plan that suits us both, and now it will all come together.  We'll have shared spaces and private spaces, and I'll have a lovely sewing area.


 
         

The photo shows our little bit of Nebraska prairie. It's in a newer development on the edge of town. The trees are on a farm that lies across the street from us. We're hoping to see deer, rabbits, and goodness knows what other wildlife.

Culling the excess in my house is underway. We knew this was coming, so we had two garage sales this summer, and I took several car loads to City Mission. I worked in my sewing room this past week after Christmas. Downsizing is hard. I've lived here for 30 years, and it will take me many months to go through everything in this house and decide what to keep, what to let go, and what to replace with new.

For now, we are staying home and playing it safe as we wait for the vaccine that should help make 2021 a better year than last.  

Fingers crossed!
