little houses, big houses


I am right in the thick of so many things... working on my submission for Club Little House and getting ready to sell our home, the Dragonfly. We named our house "the Dragonfly" and I decorated it with a dragonfly motif. We live on a golf course and there are dragonflies everywhere. I think they bring good luck!

We have a long history in our family of naming our houses (the rainbow house, 102 happiness, the sunshine house) usually a child's doing for some mystical or obvious reason. I don't really think I want to sell this house right now, but as I explained previously, there is just something about men and real estate, and my honey has a bee in his ballcap right now about selling this house and building another one just like it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not ungrateful or anything. And of course the new home would include the dream art and craft room to contain sewing machines and scrapbook supplies, so bonus for me! The contractor. What a load of work. Loopy wants to help, and she's getting old enough now to choose paint colours and carpets, so that would be fun. Well maybe one more move wouldn't hurt us and she can work on her new shabby chic bedroom idea and we could plan the art room together.

It's all up in the air right now, we'll put the house up for sale and decide if the right buyer comes along. In the meantime, big house plans and little house crafts are keeping me busy. Have a nice long weekend everyone!
