Are we closer to a farm?I think so. LOL But we are still living in the basement. It's been over a month since we sold our house, and what a tangled path God has led us safely through! The first house we thought we were going to buy was a house and 35 acres. We dreamed about 80 acres, but agreed on a price we thought was "too high", so we went back to 35 acres. We then found out they were negotating a contract on a lot more land than we had considered - and the house! Looking back, I'm glad we lost that one, as one upstairs bedroom Jonathan couldn't even stand up in, and the cellar had foundation issues going on. But at the time we loved it and were very excited. We looked at several other houses. Then we found a house and five acres, with the offer of more. We decided on 20 acres, and started negotations. This house was at the top of our budget - but about 3,000 square feet! When the sellers didn't budge the last little bit on closing costs, we walked away. The worst thing about this house was that it didn't have a full stove, just a wall oven and an electric range top, and IT WAS GOING TO NECESSITATE A 90-DAY CLOSING. That last part scared me the most. The last house was 16 acres. I did like this house! It was small, but do-able for another 3-5 years, which is why we would have bought it. We had agreed on a price and put down our earnest money, and my dad found a lot of recent water damage. The house sort of sat down in a hollow and all the water drained toward it. You couldn't even see foundation - the ground was flush with the house. Not a great idea. This one was well within our budget ... so it was hard to let go ... So here we are. Three potentail homes later. Still praying, still searching. ~Ashley~ New Christmas Tree Garland { Posted by

Last night I decided that I was going to start knitting the new Christmas tree garland (the last one that I made was destroyed in the fire) - I figured if I did it up on the knitting machine, I could have it done in no time .... wrong!!!!!! My knitting machine does not like fun fur yarn - glad I didn't wait until the end of November to start this, lol.{ 10:30 , Monday, June 29, 2009 } { Posted in Daily Musings } { 0 comments } { Link } So, today, I grabbed my needles and yarn, turned on the computer, brought up You Tube and found a great little tutorial on how to knit backwards - I wanted to try this because I'm only using 4 stitches for the garland and if I have to turn my work all the time ... well, let's just say that that will get old really fast, lol. I'm not sure how to add a You Tube video here (I did it once but I've forgotten how - if someone could let me know how to do that, that would be wonderful), so here is the link to the video I watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT-u3MBGFtI I'm really hoping that this garland goes quickly, I have a feeling that it is going to end up being my putter project, though - that's okay, I like having a project that I can just pick up and knit a little bit on, in between other things I need to do around the house.
