ome sweet home. After far too many years of renting some decidedly cute houses, we are finally buying a home of our own out in the small Texas town of Elgin (population 8,007), just 19 miles out of Austin. The pics are on the left…keep in mind these photos are from when the house went on the market in February… the fruit trees are leafy and bright at this time. The house was originally built in the late 40’s with a couple additions during its life. The front half of the house has all hardwood floors, an era-appropriate pink bathroom and glass doorknobs on all the doors. The more modern kitchen is bright, sunny and HUGE and faces an open field, the house is on about 1.25 acres and is just 3 blocks from Elgin’s Main Street.

Patience…
Argh! Remind me to stick to smaller projects that I can actually finish before I get sick of them. I’m sure the linen stole I’m knitting will be beautiful when finished, but I’m very bored with it. Resisiting the urge to whip up a quick scarf or baby hat to distract me.
DH and I have made an offer on a home in a small town just 19 miles out of Austin. This is our first time buying a home, luckily our realtor is our friend who had definite opinions about where he’d like to visit us. It’s an older house…which pleases us greatly, but with no central air, a huge deal in central Texas…this of course would be the first thing to happen. Our fingers are crossed.

DH and I are heading out into the country to poke our noses around strange homes. I finished this beehive a week or so ago, but couldn’t post until I sewed on bee buttons because you wouldn’t know what the hell it was. I have begun a hybrid design which with choice of color can be either a clover or a berry…check out WIPs to see start of this. Will post pics of my linen stole (in progress) later.
