A custom order, a sale and a purchase

Its been a busy couple of weeks at HbyH HQ ever since we decided to put our house up for sale. We were really luck to sell really quickly. Which then left us with a search for somewhere to move to. Towards the end of last week, after some to-ing and fro-ing our offer on a house was accepted.
I'm not going to share too much detail until I actually have the keys in my hand - you just never can tell!

So, now the arguments commence: who gets the smallest spare room for their 'stuff'. At the moment Mr HbyH has 'bagsied' the third bedroom and I get to sew on the kitchen table. But I figure it's all up for grabs when we move. There may be a scuffle as the first to to place their box in it gets to keep it - i'm sharpening my elbows in readiness!

One of the nicest things about our new house is that there is plenty of outdoor space for out two dogs.





They're both quite large and quite lively and each winter my garden currently ends up looking like the Somme. Each spring I have to dig it over and re-seed! I'm hoping our new, larger garden will be a bit more robust!

I did manage to finish one custom bag order this week. But unfortunately it's a surprise for a bride-to-be, so I can't share the pictures at the moment in case I spoil the surprise.

Hopefully, normal service will be resumed for next weeks handmade monday!

    Sounds like things are going well on the moving front - I'm just gearing myself up to put my house on the market (when A levels are done) so hope I'm as lucky as you and sell quickly :)

    Good luck with your planned move. We have 2 dogs now and a large garden with a 'path' that's been created all the way down the middle that's developed into a bit of a ditch over the past 20 years (3 dogs in all)! I still need to wear my wellies if I venture beyond the patio!

    I hope all goes well with the house and good luck with the elbow sharpening - you should win on fairness as he had the room in the last house :-) the dogs are lovely and I'm sure they'll appreciate the added play space x
