OT - new house? - update June 14
So I have some exciting news. We put an offer on a house in Vermont and it was accepted today, so in June we should be closing. My bank wanted an 8 week window for some reason, but apparently that's somewhat typical in VT? There's a great little bedroom that I will be appropriating for my craft room and I can't wait to move everything in and actually be organized!
Of course this means that I'm on a stash ban for a considerable time, but that's okay. I fortunately ordered a few things before the accepted offer.

Oh that sounds like wonderful news tiffstitch and if it means being on a stash ban for a while it will definitely be well worth it. I'm so glad you've stocked up so you won't be without stitching projects to do.
Fingers crossed that it all goes thru for you

Re: OT - new house?
That's great news.There's nothing quite as good as having your own craft room.

Re: OT - new house?
Great news. Sounds a much better process than the tortuous one I'm going through in the UK. A craft room is even better

Re: OT - new house?

Playing one vendor off against the other grrrr I am currenty sorting my craft room ... and hoping there will be space for another one in the new placeLessa54 wrote:Great news.

Re: OT - new house?
Congratulation on your new house. Having your own craft room will be great. My husband reckons our dining room is my craft room as he has to move things to sit and eat and is always finding bobbins of cotton and bits of thread. Good luck with the move.
Re: OT - new house?
That's great that you'll get your own craft room. You can spread out to your heart's desire

Re: OT - new house?
Thank you!! And if everything goes well with financing we'll close on June 14.
@ Carole: Yes, I'll have about a 1/2 hour drive instead of 75 minutes!
@Lessa and Christel: Yikes! That sounds a nightmare. So far our realtor has been really great.
