My husband and I started house hunting again in March. Our lease would be up at the end of April and it was just time for more space. We looked at several different houses, a few nice ones and some definite 'no' houses. None of the nicer houses seemed right to me. They had all of my husband's requirements, but fell short on some of mine.
On March 19th, we went and looked at a cute 3 level split house. The house was well kept with new siding, shingles, and laminate flooring. The walls needed some paint and the bathroom could probably use a small reno, but everything was in working order. The yard was pretty decent and even had the potential for a garden one day. Add a double detached garage to the list and this house met the majority of our requirements. It was also right within our price range.
We made an offer, which they countered. We countered back and they accepted. Possession date was set for May 2nd. Moving went well with little hiccups and a month later we are still unpacking boxes, but for the most part are all settled in. We have already painted one room and it makes it look fresh. I'm looking forward to painting the rest of the house and making it our own.
As for projects, I have only had one. A friend asked me if I could make a toddler-sized mermaid tail. I used Lion Brand Homespun Quick and Thick in Teal. It turned out well, but the yarn was different to use and I had to take out a few rows due missing a stitch. It was a big hit at the baby shower apparently.The only other project I have on the go right now is a baby blanket for my sister's baby. She is due in a month, but hoping baby comes at the end of this month! I tried ordering the yarn for the blanket off of www.knitting-warehouse.com. Hopefully it comes quickly.
That's all for now! I hope you all have had a pleasant springtime so far!
