If It's Meant To Be.........It Will Be.........
My blog has not been very quilt related in quite some time. There is a good reason for this.... I haven't been quilting much lately! Life is a journey, and it's been quite the trip the past several months.
When we first decided to purchase a place in western Colorado, never in our wildest dreams did we imagine we would end up with a piece of property directly across the road from the Colorado National Monument. We were happy with our little 1905 built home on the edge of downtown, but you see, I have this thing for the red rocks.
A friend told us about a piece of property for sale, which piqued our interest. Directly across from the Colorado National Monument, 2 1/2 acres, views, house, outbuildings. OUTBUILDINGS, you say? This caught my attention! As much as we were interested, we thought it was too much of a long shot to even attempt this property! We would have to sell our existing home to purchase this, and the way the economy is, the chances were slim to none that it would happen. We decided we HAD to go for this, so put our house on the market. After three months on the market it sold, and amazingly, our dream property was still on the market!
We closed on the property last Thursday, and have been getting settled in since. The views are spectacular......
A lawn tractor left in the shed was a bonus.............
but there is some work to be done on the property. I'll be working on getting the one outbuilding turned into a studio, but check out this space...........
I know it's a mess now, but it has POTENTIAL!!!! I can't wait to get busy creating here!
Of course, with the good comes the bad. The house is livable, but needs some work.
The pet odor was too much to take, so we pulled carpet out. This is what's left. Let the work begin! 
But, with views like this, the work will be worth it!
