TWO NEW CHAIRS AND A POTENTIAL NEW HOBBY

OK, going to get back into posting.  Now fun stuff from our new house where we LIVE!

For our closing, I wanted to get something silly but memorable.  More on that further down.  We did need some new furniture.  We decided to get rid of our couches from the apartment since they were older and so we donated them to a women's shelter, where hopefully they will have more continued life.

With a larger living room in our new house, we decided to add a couple of chairs for both of us to sit in.  We found these:

We wanted something that looked like they belonged and were durable.  We settled on these.  They are a great color and so comfortable.  They also look great side by side.  But the best part?

They are also recliners!  This the standard position but they actually lay all the way back and almost flat.  Screened in porch open, birds chirping, a cool breeze...I have a feeling we'll doze off here quite often, ha.  Anyway, we need to get a proper table between them but this little one works in a pinch.

 

Now, for the quirky closing surprise:

I knew when we saw these chairs last Spring, and decided to get them for when we moved in, we needed something fun to sit there and do while watching TV.  So, I found these!

They are beginner crochet kits!  Made for anyone/any age, well I guess that covers us, ha!

Each kit has everything included, the yarn, a yarn needle, crochet hook, all the stuffing and things that go with it, they even have a pre-started piece.

I got the bee for me...

...and the baby chick for 2nd Man.

We have both watched videos of people crocheting and always thought it would be fun to learn.  My Grandmother crocheted, we have a lot stored away, and I remember many times sitting in their living room, both in their recliners (are recliners an age thing? I digress...) watching TV and she was just doing it like a machine.  Who knows if we'll catch on and want to do and learn more, but maybe between the two of us, one will go on to make new stuff.

Either way, it will be a fun adventure this Winter!  Stay tuned for that, ha.  We also got two new couches more on those later.  We're slowly (very slowly) getting settled in, but everything is just as we dreamed it would be, we are very happy.
