These two were crocheted by my Aunt Donna for N's fourth birthday. She opened the present and, as if she had known them her whole life, said, "Oh, it's Bwack Bwack and Chickadee." And so these are the two latest in our cast of characters...

We just closed on a new (very old) house on Friday so we are officially homeowners again after renting (and moving twice) for a year and a half. There are so many things that I am looking forward to about owning a home; I want to garden, I want compost, I want to have chickens, and mostly I just want to make the house ours in ways that I have not since we have been renters. Not that I couldn't have done it in our rentals, I just didn't. I packed, I unpacked, I broke down, I built up again, I had a baby, and I didn't hang up pictures.
Because the house we bought needs work, we have a real chance to make it ours. Over the course of the next two months, we are going to be working on all parts of the house--the kitchen, the floors, the walls, the yard. It all needs work, so why is it that I can only think of plans for my craft room?!
I am looking forward to a house full (or largely empty, rather) of sweet handmades like Bwack Bwack and Chickadee.

Congratulations on the house purchase! We have a old house too, called it a "fixer upper", and it's finally getting there. But it's ours and we love it. Be sure to post before and after pictures!
