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.
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.
ReplyDeleteI haven't moved yet! Come over as soon as you can!
DeleteWhat a beautiful house! I wish you the best luck selling quickly and finding your new home.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you moving to? Hope it's local. Best - Pat
ReplyDeleteFingers 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.
ReplyDeleteJust 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
ReplyDeleteTry 'em both. See which you like better and go for it
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity (nosiness), which machines are you keeping?
