Well, I can finally announce one of the things that has been keeping me busy lately: Andrew and I just bought our first house! It’s in the neighborhood here in Southeast Portland, my favorite part of town. We signed a kazillion documents today and we get the keys on Thursday! I can’t wait.

Here it is!

It’s very sweet inside — it was built in 1949 and 1950 using plans from the Oregonian back when they used to sell house blueprints, which I think is so cool!

Hopefully this will explain some of my preoccupation lately, I haven’t been updating as often as I’d like to. Once we are all settled in I can’t wait to post some new craft projects! Next week I’m going to finish up our Christmas stockings, which are all cut out and ready to fancify with felt and glitter. Pictures to come soon!
