• I’m moving!

  My new home, details here.

  

  I adore this home, and everything about it.  Its hobbit-like structure, the coziness and sense of safety it exudes, the eco-friendly aspects, the fact that it was only $6,000 to build.

  

  And the wood stove.  I’d hang a line above it and dry my hand-knit socks and sweaters there.  I’d keep the kettle on it, too.

  

  Our books would all fit in the nooks and crannies and alcoves, and I could store things in the rafters–wool for spinning and dyeing (note:  learn to spin and dye), provisions for the winter, surplus cats, etc.

  Speaking of cats, can’t you picture Othello sitting in this windowsill?

  

  I don’t know if I’d live there full time, but wouldn’t it be a lovely getaway/escape/guest home?  Maybe situated on the edge of the property, facing the lake? (note to self:  buy property.  Ensure it is on a lake.)

  All I know is that in my hobbit-hole I would bake bread and knit and play with cats.  Pretty much what I do now, but, y’know, in a hobbit-hole.  Which makes it infinitely cooler.
