A bit of sewing and lots of cleaning...

First the fun part...a bit of sewing.

I finished three more Tammy Bag Sewing kits...

I really can't pick a favorite....I love them all.
The Tammy Bag pattern is by Mdm Samm.

 The embroidery is from the Stitcher's Alphabet pattern 

designed by Michelle Ridgway.  

Her pattern company is Rag-Tag Stitchin'.

Live Laugh Love is a free Bird Brain Design pattern at Lecien

designed by Robin Kingsley

and another alphabet design by Michelle Ridgway 

Now... the not so fun time I'm having....

We've had our house up for sale since February 1st.

We've had 53 showings so far, with two more today, 
plus 2 open houses, both in February.
Everyone expected our house would be sold in a couple of days.
We did too as it is priced less than we paid for it 13 years ago,
and we have put at least $100,000 into it since then.

We had hoped to be moved back to Canada by April 26th...

which was when our green cards were expiring.

We had to go to plan B...

we renewed our green cards, 

and we changed the kitchen counters.

The before...

and after.  I never liked the purple either.

Our agent called on Tuesday.

There are 2 families interested in the house.  He said

we should expect an offer, maybe two, on Thursday...

no offer so far and it is Saturday.  

Our 90 day contract is over on April 30th, 7 days from today.

If we don't get a reasonable offer before that we will

take the house off the market...take some time off

plant some flowers, have a garage sale 

and relist again sometime before July 1.

I'm so frustrated...

After all, with our renewed green cards 

we could stay for another 10 years,,, 

but we both agree that it is time to return home

...to Canada and spend more time with our families.

The good thing is that there is no real urgency to sell now.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Happy stitching

A couple of finishes...

...a few more tea towels

using Bird Brain Designs pattern #541

Fresh Picked Tea Towels

...some fresh picked juicy cherries

and yummy apples.

I consider myself a beginner when it comes to crocheting
...it has to be easy.
I did a Google search...tea towel crocheted edgings.
There are lots of free edgings...some pretty easy ones...
and still I had to rip many stitches...I know how to do the basic stitches
just have trouble counting to 4.
