Hi all - just posted two new sets on JustBeads - see link in signature. A translucent Lauscha red/petro green abstract set (Christmassy without being too too) and turquoise and teal green scrollwork. It was so nice to get back to making some beads after almost a week of packing and other moving related stuff.
We signed all the paperwork at the lawyers today - only 12 sleeps til we're in our house!

Thanks Vickie - I'm feeling the need to make calming beads - all this real estate and moving stuff has me feeling over-heated :-) or maybe it's just hot flashes ... hmmmmm

in that case, you succeeded beautifully!

Wow, those are stunning Susan. Yay to your new house!
Thanks Marisa! Only 11 more sleeps - and then I can immediately start working on setting up my glass studio in what used to be called the garage . Plus I get a lovely room for my jewelry studio inside - talk about a spoiled girl :-)

I sure feel like a little kid about this. After all my years of being a gypsy, there is something deeply right about being home, in many senses of the word!
Time to let take root, Susan. Take it from an old oak tree.:=)

Owning a home is the one single thing that has made me really feel like a citizen.
It's funny how your attitude about you living space changes. Remember back when your main interest was nicknacks? Then furniture, then walls. In a rented house you also care about the roof and the mechanics and yard to a degree.
Then comes home ownership. All of a sudden the decorations and furniture to second place to roofs, heating systems, and the foundation. Even the very ground becomes important. In a city you might be concerned with contaminated soil; here my worry is the lens of pure ice under me -- at least a thousand feet long, 20 feet thick, a hundren feet wide. Maybe much more.
And then covenants, property tax use, potholes in the street. That citizen stuff.
And it's more expensive than renting. But well worth it.
For a wedding gift, 2 years ago, my mother forgave the final $10,000 on my house. All ours now!

Very true!! It's been more than 10 years since I' sold the first house I owned and more than that since I've lived in a house I owned. This is DH's first ever house, so watching the transformation in him is really interesting, and endearing. He even claims he'll be tidier once it's "his" house - that would really be something :-)

Well, it's possible he'll be tidier, but I bet he'll just make a bigger mess because now he can REALLY get into projects.

Well I might be lucky there - he's not much for projects. Just loves to read and watch TV and cook after he's done his daily exercise routine. I'm the project person, and lucky me will have two project spaces, so my mess might me more contained too :-)
It's always about managing the paper in our lives - that seems to get away from us on a regular basis ...

We are currently living in "my" house... I bought this house all by myself and have been living in it even longer. Although we refinanced and put his name on the title, it is and always will be "my" house. The house we're moving to will truly be ours, and I'm looking forward to seeing the sudden interest he'll feel for home-improvement projects!
