Days 491 & 492

After slacking on my chores to sew on Monday. I finished those up and on Tuesday and Wednesay was the big birthday day, and I gave my friend the table runner, she said she felt so lucky to get it :) I am happy to hear this, since my last quilted gift was not recieved quite as gracefully.

Days 489 & 490

After an uneventful Sunday, Monday got us both back to work.

I finished up the table runner for my friend's birthday.

My first finish of the year, I am ashamed.

And in the evening, Josh and I finally took some time to walk through our new neighborhood.

Picturesque.

Day 488

Today Mr finally, after days of staring at the tree, climbed it!

However, he was unsure how to handle the crook...

Later he and this bird were having quite the time.

It kept swooping down at him, and landing a few feet away, taunting him. 

Josh and I got a desk and assembled it!

Day 487

Finally Internet!!!! I have been dying without it!! Dramatic, yes, but honestly it is my only link to home

And I made a couple hearts for a friend going through a tough time,

And I picked out some fabric for a table runner I'm going to make for a friend's birthday.

Day 486

We enjoyed our backyard a bit today.

Then since we were so busy cleaning up we headed out to dinner, and Josh's coffee came with a little bear!

Day 485

Things in the house are coming together,

Our closet is organized

I love this bathroom, minus the clear glass door on the door to the toilet.

Our bedroom is smaller than the last, but it's great! I think it's a much better size, especially since there are no dressers!

Then I worked on scrubbing some cupboards, and Mr decided to help

The guest room also got put together,

And check out the guest closet!

Day 484

The unpacking continues, my kitchen is a disaster...

And Mr has found a refuge among the clutter

I think the guys are done working on the wall, today they are having their siesta in the closet. They look a little dead.

Day 483

Today we are still moving in, and they are working on our back wall

Mr is trying out hiding places in the new house.

This is the truck that moved our furniture...and all the workers rode on the inside. Good thing is we didn't move far.

Mr was testing his fear of heights, I guess he doesn't have one.

Then they discovered that the mattresses would not fit up the stairs.so the had to lift them over the balcony!

Thankfully they all made it safely

And all of our extra furniture doesn't fit in this house we finally have a plan to donate it!!!! More than a year later!

Our old house looks so empty and it echoes.

While we were doing our final clean up it rained a ton, and flooded the streets!

Day 482

More unpacking, and my sewing room is taking shape.

Our refrigerator was delivered, on its side

Then Josh helped them get some of the packaging off...

And after we took all the ridiculous amounts of parking out of the inside its up and running! And I love it!

Day 481

We did a lot of packing!

This is my sewing room, 1/2 packed.

And we got the keys to the new house, 

where Josh left me at to get some cleaning done, while he went and grabbed a load of already packed things, we have a long road ahead! Lots of cleaning, we started with mopping the living room floor so that we could just move everything into the living room and then disperse as we went.

Days 479 & 480

We are hoping to get the keys to our house soon, so I measured all of the furniture and drew to scale little squares of them, because we do not think it will all fit in our new house.

We hope to get the keys on the first...

Then I took a quick trip with my friends to a traveling artisan market.

These are the things I picked up.

A candle cover

A new shirt, they were one size fits all, so it's a little big but maybe with jogging a or as a beach cover...

And some more art!

Then Mr was being adorable while I waited for Jodh to come home.

He is enjoying the new tower.

And when Josh got home he told me, we get the keys tomorrow... And we need to move all of our stuff over the weekend, the movers come Monday at 9am!

I need to clean the new house and pack everything we own, and then clean the old house all in 4 days.

Better get to work!

Days 475 to 478

Things have been less than eventful here, although Mr has made it to the top platform of his tower all on his own now.

Day 474

Today we did a bit of yard work, and saw these giant snails!

And then we did a bit of shopping for a new fridge, since our new house does not have a fridge.

And we saw this one.

Isn't it adorable? Although really poorly built.

Day 473

I came down stairs this morning to see Mr enjoying his new tower,

Then I noticed, he had already initiated it.

Day 472

Today we bought Mr a present!

He has not had a tower in almost 2 years, I think he is pretty happy about it!
