Summer Activities

I know we are into fall🍂, however to give my absence on this blog context I need to explain some summer activities🚚 I have been involved in..... they were not sewing related but will lead to some great times with sewing in the future.
First of all we purchased a new home🏠 in Port Sydney, ON!  For those of you who want to say "where the heck is Port Sydney?"  You know I'm going to tell you ... it's about 20 minutes south of Huntsville in between Bracebridge and Huntsville, ON.  See the pic of my new home below:

 This is a big move for us! It's 3 1/2 hours away from our home in Waterloo, ON, but it is closer to 4/5 of our grandchildren with land for my retired hubby to landscape and garden.👨‍🌾  It's further North so the potential for longer winters and snow is completely a sure thing. ⛷️❄️ This was a huge decision for us for many reasons about which I will not go into detail, the list is long.

We are happy with the end result and of course the space is there for my studio.  This means more sewing projects, quilting with my BERNINA Long Arm & domestic sewing machines, sewing/quilting related blog posts, events and more in the future. 🧵 It also means we have gorgeous wildlife 🦌 all around us as the house is in a very wooded area and the fall foliage is stunning.🌿  We are looking forward to the other seasons as well and did manage some camping 🚙 this summer, amidst the chaos.

Along with this big move, we had to stage and sell our much loved home in Waterloo.🏘️   This was so much work and the move out, staging and move in to our new home made for an EXHAUSTING summer.  Notice the caps on the word exhausting! We are thankful for the help of family and friends.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I will miss my friends, neighbours and quilting friends in Waterloo along with my younger daughter and her family in Elmira but of course there will be frequent planned visits.💕
Sewwwww there you have it, this is why I have been absent on this blog since Quilt Canada, You will see my posts on Instagram @quiltingintheloft about Quilt Canada🍁we literally were thick in the process of selling and moving post this event.  I'm back in action sewing and preparing & will have new posts up tomorrow about some very exciting fall events.
Happy Fall Y'all 🍁🍂🌿🌲
