Moving On...

We are moving.  Fortunately, our new home is smaller, closer to family and in a village.  That means that as soon as I finish my treatments we will list this house for sale.

The property comes with 10 acres and five outbuildings (not including the outhouse, we might take that with us): a single car garage, a large workshop with a studio apartment, a small two story barn (could work as another garage, with finished space above) a garden shed and a sauna.

I can't take all of my sewing machines so I will be rehoming some of them.  In the meantime, we are working furiously to get this place market ready.  I should say that Steven is working furiously.  I work as much as I can.  Chemo gets me and I still have a job so there isn't much left.

It's been a great place to live.  We have a wonderful community here.  It's time to move.

  1. I'm crying but I understand. You introduced me to the fun of the old machine, thanks for inviting me late on a Sunday to the TOGA.

  4. Fingers crossed for a quick sale, and drama-free move to the new location. I just adopted several machines from another one of my vintage sewing machine gurus who is downsizing/moving as well. Hope you find good caretakers for the re-homed machines, and you are back up to primo health asap.

  5. Just discovered your blog today. I was trying to decide between buying a Singer223 and Good Housekeeper 180 and just researching a bit. I have mainly used Touch & Sew models, so either should be a step up. Please share your thoughts on this. Btw, saw your Std poodles, we have them, too. Great dogs. Good luck with the chemo! Thanks
