A real post

Ok, so Seth and I have been looking at houses. And I've written this post three times now only to have various forms of blog apps eat it. Grr. Anyways. You don't get the whole long post again since I'm not rewriting the stupid thing again. Short of it is that yes, we are looking and here's the best prospect I found so far:

Pros:
- 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms = 4 Bedrooms, 1 Sewing Room, 2 Bathrooms
- In our price range ($299,000)
- Newly renovated
- Low Crime neighborhood
- Near the school
- Shorter commute for Seth than where we live now
- MD has better traffic than VA
- Closer to friends

Cons:
- No driveway
- No basement
- If we put an offer in now they'd want to close in December, our housing contract ends in February
- It's in Maryland and Seth likes VA better but see above for my opinion on it...

I've also been planning my Costume Con projects since it's time to get on that again. I'm picking up the plunderhosen project again. I bought Janet Arnold's book which has already helped me figure out where I need to go with the pattern after getting stuck on the commercial pattern I'd bought last time I tried this project. This would be competed in the historical competition. I'm still mulling over an entry for the Sci-Fi/Fantasy competition but with steampunk so popular now I've had Victorian on the brain. and came up with this concept sketch...
